My hat is off to the organizers of Festival of Quilt here in Birmingham. The show is spectacular, the people are wonderful and warm, and if you are ever looking for a great quilting get-away, I would highly recommend it.
I got to meet up with so many wonderful friends. Better yet, I got to meet many of you. I learned that our international members are absolutely over the moon about TQS and the excitement and enthusiasm about it is growing every day. I know there will be many new members as a result of my visit so I urge you to click the Search link each day and review our newbies regardless where they come from, and send them a welcome email.
I'll be on my flight home tomorrow.
In closing - I send my best wishes and thoughts to John and Alex on this special day for their son and new daughter-in-law. Hope it was beautiful!
