BIG BIG News!

Thursday, January 22, 2009

Well since my last post we vended at the show in Schaumburg and it went off quite well. Unfortunately the attendence was a bit lower than expected so at times it was a little slow. Either way, we still got the opportunity to meet plenty of new people and introduce them to our Shweshwe fabrics. We also met a wonderful South African quilt artist named Rosalie Dace who was teaching classes at the show. It was a real treat to see all the quilts from South Africa that were on display.

But now for the big news! Little did I know when I was vending at the Nashville show in August that I was actually pregnant! Yep, my husband and I are expecting our first baby on May 2nd and it's a beautiful baby girl! We are just so excited and looking forward to her arrival.

This past year has just been an amazing time for us. We've had some great things happen with our small business, we finished graduate school and now we're expecting a baby! Busy, busy busy!

We plan on vending at several shows this year... to start off with we're vending at the Bloomington, IL Quilt Show the first weekend in April. Then the third weekend in April we're vending at the Internation Quilt Festival in Rosemont IL. That is only 2 weeks before my due date! WOW, that's cutting it close. :) But I trust that everything will work out well!
