I had a great time at the Original Sewing & Quilt Expo in Lakeland, FL this month. Got to meet some of you in person, catch up with some quilt industry friends, met some new companies for potential collaborations, did a little bit of shopping and found a new hobby to try! I’ll keep my words to a minimum and let you enjoy the pictures I took during the two days I was there. Enjoy!
