I just got back from Babylock’s annual convention, known as BLT. I had so much fun and learned so much and I worked so hard because I was there as an educator and a worker. The event started on Saturday and ended Tuesday but I arrived on the previous Monday and left on the following Wednesday. That means sleeping not in my own bed for 9 nights.
Educators were able to showcase some of their work and work with Babylock dealers to provide classes and help with events.
Here is a quick look at my practice set up.
I was shocked that there was so much interest in my projects and classes. I guess all those hours at the sewing machine are paying off.
This guy probably got the most attention.
He started out as a clearance panel at a national chain store. Santa’s fur is all yarn couched and the snow on the tree branches is also couched yarn, but the yarn used for the snow has a little glitter in it. The snow inspiration happened last winter while I was in my sewing studio during a snow storm happening outside my window. And because I could not help myself and I did some fun free motion quilting to add more texture.
So now that I am home I am back at my sewing machine because I have so many new ideas and I need to get these ideas out of my head and into thread.
And did I tell you I got to meet some incredibly creative folks while I was away. I am just hoping that some of their incredible talent rubbed off on me!
