Design Wall that didn't happen...

I was travelling home from our road trip to Utah and Wyoming on Monday.

I didn't get a post pre-written and my wall is still the same as it was when I left home last week.

Thanks for the kind comments on the posts while I was gone.  

I try not to broadcast that I'm leaving town.

I have so much fun stuff to share from QUILT MARKET!!!

I hardly know where to start.

My first time to attend- maybe my only time...

It was just one of the reasons I went to Salt Lake City.

This is going to take a few posts, so many pictures to share.

I'll start with the #2 reason why I wanted to go to Salt Lake this past week.

My only Sister had a Birthday!

Here we are after watching the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Sunday morning.

Gentri was there to Sing with the Choir!  

My Sister called my Uncle and he invited us to come and go to the Payson Temple with them.

Our Uncle Cleve and Aunt Joyce live in Payson.

The Payson Temple is so BEAUTIFUL!

We drove by the Provo City Center Temple

Paul and I attended the Salt Lake Temple on Friday afternoon between 

my two Classes at Quilt Market.

I had scheduled a morning and evening class.

Crazy to do that - I know.

Learning from Deb Tucker on Saturday morning was a treat.

I didn't realize how many rulers she had in her Studio 180 collection.

[if you click the link, Deb has her Videos there]

Because I forgot to take my Rotary Cutter and mat, 

I had to just draw the cuts on each of the samples.

After we finished the class she let us BUY the rulers we had used at a Bargain cost.

She also said to go to her booth to get the Expansion set of rulers.

Next Posting I'll tell about the Sample Spree - WOW was that a Crazy hour!!

The Schoolhouse sessions I attended will have to be a 3rd Post.

Quilts - A CHALLENGE!???

HERE is a post at Piece and Quilt about last year's WINNER, Her Mom, Kathleen! They live in UTAH! The International Quilt Market is in Salt Lake City, UTAH this spring. This is similar to the "Trends" I went to with Lynn in Portland last week-end. Not for the Public. But I want to go... only one drawback--it's Mother's Day week-end and I have two grandbabies still coming. correction: it's not Mother's day week-end... yea! DREAM on Grandma...
