New from Michigan

Deb: Hi from Southern Michigan, Jackson area. My husband and I spend a weekend in Traverse City in September each year. While he is at meetings, I spend the time browsing the local quilt shops. Renee House of Quilts is very cool and I had a great visit at the Quilting Bee.

A smug welcome from Ireland - smug because I have finished two UFO's this year. I have to say I feel a lot better now that they are off my conscience. I really envy you having all those quilt shops nearby - that's probably WHY you have the UFO's.

:D Hi Deb from another Michigander. I'm also north of Traverse City, in Elk Rapids. We spend our winters in SW Fl but this is HOME!~ Going to Petoskey in the AM for quilt show? I'm also not a fan of bridges but the Mighty Mac is not so scary in the winter!!

Penny, Im just a little north of you... just south of Charlevoix. There's an adorable quilt shop in Charlevoix on the street subway is on. If you go through there, you should check it out. Also a great little shop in East Jordan.
I LOVE Renees. That's always a stop for me when I head to Traverse.
Im going to be at the quilt show in the afternoon on Friday. I will be counting the viewers choice votes so that we can award that ribbon at the end of the first day. We hung quilts up today and I loved so many of them. Some of the ones that impressed me the most were the mini quilts. It's amazing the patience that some quilters have... working with those tiny little pieces and everything is so exact.
