Hey all you quilting and sewing events lovers! Make your travel plans now to attend at least one event or conference in 2008. After all, what better way to learn new skills, improve the ones you already have, see new products, make new friends and have a ton of fun, all at the same time?

The expo noted below travels around the country during the year and had me drooling when I read the brochure. I REALLY wanted to attend the one scheduled for March 2007, but my daughter asked me to keep my grandbaby that weekend... and she won the coin toss.

Do you see anything that interests you? GOOD! Now pack your bags, and get ready to hop a plane, train, bus or the family vehicle and give yourself a sewing vacation.
