Even though we were there vending, I did get to sneek off to see many of my friends - first stop? Gina of quiltersbuzz.com. Not only did I get to visit, but I also had to chance to test drive a...................BIG girl machine - A Gammill!

Alex's Father, Joe Sladky, is joining Capt'n John at the Heart of the Valley Quilt and Textile Arts Show-Modesto CA Jan 24-25. The boys will go it alone on Saturday with Alex making an appearance on Sunday.
Joe is a veteran having done this show when he and Alex were in the Quilt Frame business together. John however is in need of your prayers. Below Joe is getting the booth ready while John finds band-aids.
