I’m back from the Sewing & Stichery Expo in Puyallup, WA. We had a great time and the folks up there are just great! Got a chance to visit with lots of quilters and customers and I’m always so grateful for all your support. Quilter’s Night Out was a hoot. Steve Jeffries, President of Babylock introduced me to about 800 people. He got them chanting “Babylock – for the love!” It was something else. After the program Babylock gave away a Quilters Dream Espire to one very blessed lady who prayed to get it! Miracles happen!
Puyallup, WA! How fun was that. I used to live in WA, and always loved goingto the Expo at Puyallup. I still think of it every year, it was a great show. I am glad that you enjoyed the people and the show.
Hoppy quilting!

HI Eleanor,
I just discovered you had a blog. ….Cool. I am a fan from Tasmania, Australia. I was just discussing with a net friend in Canada about a Delectable Mountains quilt you made once and I was wondering if I could find a pic of it….found here. Love your enthusiasm and the way you teach. Happy to follow your blog.

I just discovered your blog, also….thanks to Kelly Jackson at “I Have a Notion”. I was fortunate enough to attend your lecture at the recent Lancaster AQS show….the original one at 7 p.m. (the one in which you unwrapped your sandwich and ate it as you and Orion chatted with us between shows). I thoroughly enjoyed it and have recommended to everyone I know that they need to go SEE you if they ever have the chance at a quilt show!!! Now….we need some new blog postings…okay?? LOL
So glad to see you are now in the wonderful world of the bloggers. I have been here for two years now and I just love it. I never knew there were so many talented quilters who were sharing their expertise on blogs. I am a relatively new quilter, My Mother was the family quilter so I didn’t even think about making a quilt. When Mom passed she left me all her quilting things and a monster was born. I am so addicted to fabrics, threads, patterns and anything quilt. I make quilted lap robes for a nursing home and this lets me try all kinds of new block patterns plus I get to give a smile to some who are forgotten.
So happy to find your blog! I’ll definitely be checking in!
