I'm so excited, Sept will be a great month. Our Viking quilt store is having its first ever emb retreat for 3 days. We will be making a quilt from Smith Street Designs called A Duck Says Quack. We will be using textured fabric for the animals. I've gotten designs from this co before and they stich out great. Then the following Sat the Floriani Event is here and I'm signed up for that. I went last yr and learned a lot plus got lots of free goodies. Then the local Sew n Vac is having an open house and will go over all of their upcoming classes and lots of specials. They have all types of sewing, including emb. They even have a kids club so I can't wait until my DGS is 9 and can go. This doesn't even include what ever we do for monthly emb club. She hasn't released it yet, she's been busy getting ready for fall classes plus Viking Convention, which when they come back they'll have all the new info on 6D Pro and the latest new stuff for our machines. Sept is going to be a good month.
