What a great day

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.

Todays the big day

I'm so excited. Today is a big day for me. Jen, Maureen and I are going to the big QUILT EXPO in Madison. I've never been to a big quilt show before only the smaller local ones. And the highlight of my day is I"m going to a lecture by ELEANOR BURNS. I'm so excited, she is my favorite and she's the one I learned to quilt by. I have my digital camera, a book of Eleanors I'm hoping to get her to sign and some signature blocks just incase. I'll be back tonight once we're back home. Time to run to the magic money machine before we leave. Talk to all of you later.
