Textile Stew: 9/8/10
Central Texans! Here’s something to look forward to after being soaked by Hermine. The Austin Area Quilt Guild Show is September 17-19. It has moved to the Palmer Events Center so you know it’s going to be the biggest and best one ever. And Malka is one of the vendors! If you’d like a pair of tickets, just leave a comment on this post and I’ll draw a winner randomly.

Hi. I’m going to go ahead and leave a comment on behalf of my sister-in-law Susan. She’s fabulous and she’s a crafty girl, among her multitude of talents. We’ve been discussing plans to meet at the Quilt Festival in Houston in October. I think she would enjoy attending this quilt show.
I can’t use the tickets (not in Austin), but the article about fashion copyrighting was really interesting! Thanks for sharing it!
