I just got back from Machine Quilters Expo in Providence. I have to share with all of you!! The Quilts were fantastic this year, the dealers were great (I spent way too much $$ on Pantos, thread fabric and gadgets) but the classes were wonderful.

I took several classes but there were two that were outstanding!! One was a hands on class with Sally Terry of "Hooked on Feathers" fame while I was there. It was the absolute BEST class I have ever taken. Her class name was Free motion with Wiggle Room. I got to play with some new to me free motion patterns and had a great time while learning.

The other class that was a real hoot was a lecture/demo on Radical Rulers with a guy named Dusty Farrell who "Quilts" in the dark with glow in the dark thread and a black light as well as being a free motion embroidery artist extraordinaire as well (he won several awards on his White Tail Deer quilt at the show!!

What a fantastic trip!!
