Great list Maris! It was such a fun event and fun to meet you, too. It took me 3 blog posts to get it all in, LOL!
I know! That’s why I went with the list version! Maybe we will get to see each other next year – hope so!!
What a great way to summarize a wonderful event! Fabulous list!
Thanks Kate! Loved being with all you fabulous modern, young sewists!!
Great list Maris, I think I drank more grape juice in those few days then I have in my life. 😉
Hahahaha, Natalie. The first time they offered me grape juice I was like, “Really? Do I look like I am 3????” LOL!
what a great list, I feel the same way! Will have to go again next year and experience it all over again. Thanks for making it more fun!
Likewise!!
Seriously, what was the deal with the grape juice?? It was so great to meet you at Sewing Summit and hear about your experiences teaching. I definitely feel like we’re kindred spirits.
I KNOW, right?!?! Too bad we kind of live on opposite sides of the country. I hope we meet up again soon in real person life, and our next meeting will have to include only fermented grape juice! 🙂
It was great meeting you and I agree with everything you wrote. SUCH a fun weekend! 🙂
Thanks Sara! It was quite grand, wasn’t it?
Maris, it was so lovely to meet you! I also love the style of your recap… too fun. 🙂
Loved meeting you too, Lindsay! Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly and you have a safe and quick delivery!
