Washington Bound ...

Its that time of year again! Veronica and Michelle are preparing for the 30th Sewing and Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, Washington!

In two weeks, hundreds will converge on the town at the start of this annual Expo. Are you one of them? There are more than 265 vendors this year and over 100 seminars and six style shows each day.

There are a plethora of events, classes, shows and more to participate in this year. There are a variety of speakers including our dear friend, Barbara Crawford of Crawford Designs! Barbara Crawford is a nationally recognized instructor, and leader in the pattern industry and can be seen on “The Creative Living show” and “It’s Sew Easy “on PBS.

Want to get involved? American Patchwork & Quilting® is excited to announce that the 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge will be a part of the Sewing & Stitchery Expo in 2014! Join the editors and staff members of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine to make a pillowcase and make a difference for the children being treated at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. Everything needed to make the pillowcases will be available for FREE!

Don't forget to stop by the Bear Thread Designs booth. We'll have demos, give-a-ways, new patterns and more! You can even visit with me, Jaggie!
