Have ya missed me?  Sorry, a few major computer (both PC and laptop!) breakdowns, kids home for summer, a few business trips and a sick grandma have slowed me down a bit on my writing...but I am back!

Last month, I  had the chance to attend the Machine Quilters Showcase...a fabulous event where machine quilters from around the world come to attend over 150 different classes, buy supplies and view the incredible quilts created by some of the best in the world and to get inspired to take their machine quilting to a higher level.

I attended and vended at the event, selling my threads, patterns, notions and supplying information about the Gammill Quilting Machine which I sell at my company, Cranberry Quiltworks. (Cranberry Quiltworks is my real job, Threaded Pear Studio is my super fun design job and QuiltersBuzz is just something I need to do because I have so much to say!)

Vivian Love, who is a machine quilter, blogger and instructor at Cranberry Quiltworks, traveled with me and will post a report on the show.
