This coming weekend is my family-free time for the year.  Notice I didn’t say Tammy-Time – because it’s WORK to go to Quilt Market!

As you may (or may not) remember, last year I met the lovely Pat Sloan:

The fun and (not) naked cupcake, Mark Lipinski:

The petite and sweet Sandy Gervais (who is from my brother’s hometown of Algona, Iowa):

And a ton of other designers, fabric manufacturers/reps and found some marvelous products for Linda at www.AbbiMays.com.  Wonder who I’ll run into this year – and what I’ll find to share with quilters everywhere?!!  You’ll need to tune in next week to find out – I’m leaving THIS FRIDAY for Houston!
