My day is finally finished and I can say it was one fantastic day. I had such a great time at the quilt show that Jen, Maureen and I went to in Madison. It was HUGE. I've never seen so much fabric under one roof. The vendors were awesome. There was actually so much to see that at times I was overwhelmed. The highlight of my day of course was seeing Eleanor Burns from Quilt in A Day. Her 1 hour lecture was so much fun. I ended up buying her newest book. She is such a great and fun lady. Friendlier she couldn't have been. After her lecture you could go to her huge booth and she would sign autographs and take pictures. When I turned 50 Jen made a huge batch of signature quilt squares and I've been getting signatures of my friends ever since. Anyway she suggested that I take along a block today to have Eleanor sign. I was hesitatant but did it and I'm so glad that I did. I had my picture taken with her and she signed my book. More tomorrow with pictures but I just had to stop in and say that I got to meet her.
Happy quilt dreams.

Cindy,
I'm SO happy you had a wonderful day. It's a lot easier to go back to work on Monday if you have had a good weekend. I would have been overwhelmed too, and pooped out,I'm afraid, but that kind of tired is good. I can't wait to see your pictures. Hugs! Michelle
Wow!! I love Eleanor!! How lucky you gals were to see her!
