I'm Packing My Bags!!

I'm packing my bags and getting ready to head off to the Quilt Expo in Madison, Wisconsin September 5, 6 & 7! Veronica, Michelle and I will be spending a few fun-filled days with Midwest quilters and we already know one of our vendor "neighbors" is Barbara Crawford of Crawford designs.

Find Us In the "Tea" Section

O.k. Not really. But we have some exciting news. Tea in Texas Magazine's annual Quilting Issue will hit the shelves September 1 and there is a short article about Veronica teaching and a Bear Thread Designs ad!

 

Sure, I wanted them to do a profile on me, I mean what crafter or tea enthusiast doesn't want to know about this cuddly ol' bear, but it was Veronica's turn. She's been teaching quilting for 20+ years and she is already booking classes for 2014-2015 now, so she's going to be busy.

Don't forget to pick up a copy of Tea in Texas Magazine or visit their website. Not only will you find us in there, but a few of our quilting friends as well. I had lunch with Popcorn the Bear, at Quilting Treasures and he said you can find them in the magazine too. I am excited to see what they have coming this fall!
