Zora 317 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, my friend and I are going on Wednesday. We'll be there until Friday. We are taking "Bling My Quilt" with Linzi Wednesday evening, and Sue Patten's class on Thursday afternoon. I'm looking forward to it. Are you taking any classes???

Sheri Butler 364 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Jewels, I am DEFINITELY going, but thinking, I may have Jason take me up to your house, ride with you, then he can pick me back up. Were you planning on staying the nite? Or, what is your plans girl? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's my "ICU - Do UC Me" black and white sort of pop art large wallhanging. It's in the Wall Quilts - Machine Quilted category.
