Traveling-again, and a Give-Away soon!

I’m on the road again, this time I’m going to Portland, Oregon for the Studio Art Quilt Associates Conference, “Fiberlandia“. I’m excited-I will “just” be a participant! I am not presenting, I’m not a Rep. I am volunteering for a few things, but I will savor the feeling of simply enjoying the presentations and the company of great friends old and new. I always seem to return from SAQA conferences energized and filled with new ideas.

This year we are having a Maker Space where we will “learn through doing” in a social environment with hands-on activities-sounds fun! We have free time on Saturday afternoon so I’ll be exploring the galleries in the Pearl District. And I will meet some of you there too!

My error will be your gain: I accidentally pre-ordered two of this book, so after I get back I will be setting up a give-away. The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters by Sherri Lynn Wood seems to be the hottest book in the quilting market right now.

I have long followed Sherri’s blog and admire her work and her Modern take on improv piecing. I will be taking my copy with me to savor while in Portland (if I have any down time at all!). My “extra” copy I will share with one of you! So stay tuned for more details after I return. I’ve never done a give-away before so I have to figure out how to set it all up. I’ll have all the scoop next week-make sure to check back!
