Jade you made my day. I giggled, laughed and then realized how really sweet you are. I am so glad you went and had a wonderful experience.

I am so very pleased that you had such a wonderful experience. From this you have now encouraged so many other quilters out there with your story. Fantastic ;-)

I know exactly how you feel. I went to a guild meeting just before the Quilt Festival here in Texas. At our show-and-tell, Sue Garmin, who is a member, showed us the quilt she had designed for the Alex Anderson/Ricky Tims BOM program. It was to hang at their booth at the festival so she was frantically trying to finish it. I went to the festival and there it was. She is my idol. Such a great person and quilter/designer. Love, love, love her work. I was so excited just being around her.

What a great honor. Congratulations Jade.

Isn't it fun when you get to meet someone like that. I got to meet Mark Lipinski and boy was that ever a treat. The guy just threw his quilts everywhere and he was just a common as could be. Loved his program and the meet and greet.

So cool! I am counting down the days until Jinny Beyer wil be near me. I know I'll probably be asked to work that day, but yhis is one designer I don't want to miss. Chatuaqua institute in NY Oct 2011 if anyone is near.

I'm so happy for you!!! You had such a wonderful experience! Yippee!!!

Quiltforrme, Can you post a picture of the quilt pattern that you plan to make? It's always nice to see the quilts in person. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Eiltcoq.

What fun. Thanks for sharing your excitement. It really comes through in your writing. I can just feel it!

What a happy day for you, Congrats.
