Well, here I am…in BLOG WORLD! Oh my…
The most interesting aspect of doing a blog, is thinking of
subjects that others may want to read about.
This is where anyone’s opinion would be helpful. We all have so many interests and I would
like to incorporate many of them into this blog if I can. So as you read along, month after month,
chime in and let me know what is interesting or what is not.
October in the Mountain Patchwork world is a busy
month. The only retail show I go to all
year is the Spokane Quilt Show in Spokane Washington. This is a wonderful show with over 500 quilts
on display and plenty of vendors for a variety of shopping under one roof. Fun stuff.
I will try and post some pictures
when I get back. I love seeing all the wonderful quilts that have been created by talented people. I am always mesmerized by the colors and their creativity.
The next week after the Spokane show is International Quilt
Market in Houston Texas. This is where
all your local quilt stores can see in person the patterns, books, fabrics and
notions they want to carry in their stores.
It may sound like fun to be a shop owner on the floor at Market, but I
can tell you what sensory overload looks like on all the faces after 3 days. It is a busy few days, but I love seeing
familiar faces and showing them what we have new. After all, that is what it is all about,
right?
So as I finish stuffing patterns and sewing samples this
week, I will need to get out in the garden and dig up the potatoes. This is my favorite time of year, but I have
to admit I am already missing the veggies out of the garden. Do you garden? Big or small?
Flowers or vegetables? This year
I had something growing in the garden that grew so fast and was actually very
pretty, that I knew it had to be a weed.
Too bad, it was a fast grower too.
As I said before, I will try and post pictures when I return
from the shows and give you a glimpse into my world.
Remember to keep stitching!
