Afterthoughts
Not sure what will get done since the majority of the week I am in Reno. I am taking a collage class and EQ8 class before heading to Gardnervill to do some shopping. Meanwhile we only have approximately two hours to shop and view quilts at the Reno show.
We are both super excited and I can’t wait to share what we learn! Happy Quilting this week.
