My friend, Judy, and I attended the Sew Expo in Puyallup Thursday and Friday. Wow! almost overwhelming....so much to see and touch! We live on the Olympic Peninsula so only took about 2 hours to get there. We stayed overnight Thursday night. We didn't decide early enough to get the classes we would be interested in, but we did attend a couple lectures. We had a great time!

I attended this expo many years ago when I lived in Oregon. At that time there didn't seem to be a whole lot on quilting...mostly garment sewing, but this time there was a whole lot on quilting! Friday was packed!!! Thursday was better...I don't like crowds too much.

Guess What! I bought a QE 4.0 Pfaff sewing machine there. I pick it up in Silverdale Tuesday or Wednesday. I am a true blue pfaff fan and I am so excited! The price was excellent! I have a Pfaff 1471 which is their first computerized machine and about 25 years old. My husband bought it used for me for Christmas around 15 or 16 years ago. I love that machine, but it seems to be tiring some. I am going to have it serviced and keep it!

Wish we still lived up there so we could attend. Love the Pacific NW. Lived there for 7 years.

I attended on Thursday and met up with mistiliz, Wine Woman, and Ladygen. We had a good (but too short) visit. I always enjoy the Expo. This year and last year I just drove up for the day, but the two previous years I stayed several days and took lots of the short lectures/classes. My first year there was the year that Kaye Wood filled in for Fons and Porter when they were caught in a snow storm in the mid-west. Kaye was so funny I thought my sides would split from laughter.
