Wow--What a fun time at the Batavia Quilt show!
I had the pleasure of meeting a talented and friendly group of women at the Batavia Quilt Show this past weekend where I reconnecting with some high school friends and had a GREAT visit with some of my quilter peeps!
Attendees viewed the fabulous quilt exhibit and then spilled over into the vendor mall, ready to chat and purchase quilting related items. It was a fun three days and I'm extremely happy with the results of my first attempt as a vendor.

| Yep--that's my booth! I had a great location--it was the first booth as people entered or left the vendor area. |
