Winter did go away.....................

finally!!! and I have been a neglectful blogger.... although a busy blogger on my business site - lol.... time to get things up to date....

In May I went to Quilt Market in Salt Lake City... and had a great time.... lots of new things for me to pick up for the store..... a new wool block of the month, zentengle books...... and a great new heat erasable marking pen..... I was definitely inspired....

While in Salt Lake City I had the opportunity to tour the Temple compound, the grounds, buildings .... I also heard a beautiful concert in the Tabernacle - it really was a wonderful day...
this is the temple  - view from rooftop gardens of the auditorium.

The picture says it all....


This picture was taken on Tuesday morning...... the day after I came home from Quilt Market in Pittsburgh...... where the weather was in the high 70's (F)...... will we ever have Spring - LOL...




I had a great time at my first Quilt Market. The professional development classes were just exceptional. I learned so much and met so many wonderful quilters, authors, and designers. For me, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I really appreciated being able to go. I have a few samples to make for the shop I work at and lots of new ideas for classes..... lots to do and I am excited to get started. I also did some shopping for myself and got some great deals.

Pittsburgh has the most amazing architecture - many old buildings, and churches. I spent a good deal of time walking around the city and I really enjoyed that. My pictures of the City of Pittsburgh are in my webshots album.

My other pictures of market are in this album - these include quilts that were on display. I am finished my University class and can now concentrate on my quilting and classes over the summer.... which I look forward to at some point!! (since we didn't seem to have a Spring).
