I have a lot to report in this blog! I have been working rather hard the past few weekends to make them special for a few great events that I had scheduled... so i figured I would sit down with a cup of coffee and narrate it all out!
Second was our Spring Open House here on the farm the last weekend in March! It was a great success as always. If you live in the area we also have a holiday open house too it is usually Thanksgiving weekend! I didn't take any pictures but I stole these from a friend! Mom opens up the house with local crafters and serves tea and cookies and of course the shop is open too. This would not be possible without our talented creative friends! Thanks Girls!
Three weekends ago I went up to Westlake, Ohio for an AMAZING quilt show. I was invited to vend by the North Coast Needles Quilt Guild! They are a great group of ladies and let me tell you there is a lot of them. You know you have a really sweet boyfriend when he goes with you to help set up! So Friday after the shop closed Josh and I drove about an hour and half to the west side of Cleveland. It was so nice to be greeted by a warm group of ladies. After set up Josh and I stood back from the booth and he commented that I needed a rug! LOL he has been hanging out with me way to long. I have to tell you I was so busy on Saturday that I had a brownie and a bag of chip for lunch! Not only can these quilters quilt but boy can the bake... kudos to you girls! By the end of Saturday my feet were barkin and this tired girl was saved by Mom and Judi. Sunday was just as busy as Saturday and I have to mention Mary what a true friend and kindred spirit! She brought us an amazing lunch and let me tell ya good thing I had Mary on Sunday because Judi and mom dusted me after lunch... they found a Tuesday Morning store! Hope you enjoy the pictures it was a lot of fun and I hope to be invited to another one of their lovey shows in the future.
Sooo Two weeks ago was International Quilt Festival! What a great weekend... 28 ladies and a bus! I can't say enough how great the weekend was. Grandma got to come with us and I really think that the Bus Trip was a SUCCESS! I do not think I would change a thing except take more pictures! Oh well good memories... The ladies who went with us want to go again and I am contemplating vending next year. That means Dad, the pig trailer and I for setup and Mom on the bus with the Road Tripers! Have a few months to think about it! :)
Then there was this past weekend... Sue Spargo came and well I am just going to let the pictures speak for them selves. Even though the rain rained on my parade and changed some plans around is was a great day. As always Sue thanks for making the day so Perfect! P.S. we had a lady come all the way from Buffalo and yesterday I had the nicest compliment Mary said it was like a day at the spa being at the workshop!!!!!
So this is the part of the blog when I promise to be better at blogging more consistently... so in closing I am going to write a list of upcoming events that I will need to blog about and promise to make the time! Miss Dana here is what to look forward too... ;)
Easter
VA Wedding
Mothers Day

I think that will do for now...
P.S. I want to thank everyone who makes this little dream I had such a success... You are truly more than just customers I consider you friends!
