Fall is finally in the air, well at least today with cooler temperatures. So that means that one of my favorite sewing shows is just around the corner -
The American Sewing Expo. I love this show with all the creative energy of sewists from around the country, Canada and other far away locations converging just outside of Detroit to beautiful Novi, MI.
This year Janet Pray, the founder and owner of
American Sewing Expo, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of this fabulous show. Janet is always on the look out for new talent and delivers venues through ASE to further develop and promote creativity in our wonderful world of sewing. This is where I come in - this year Janet and her team have created a Social Media Lounge on the show floor. Most importantly while you are blogging, Facebooking, doing Instagram or charging up your device, you can meet with representative of McCalls patterns - especially if you are looking to create your own patterns; Meet the lovely Ellen Marche of Sew News and SewItAllTV; Talk with sewing expert and blogger Gertie along with Tiffiany and Shannon of Create Kids Couture. There is so much to see and learn! And . . . . I will be greeting you at the Social Media Lounge. Yahoo! Plus I can answer any SCHMETZ needles questions you may have.
So get ready. . . finish your sewing projects and meet me along with 1,000's of sewing friends in just two weeks in Novi at the American Sewing Expo! It is not too late to sign up for classes, but do it now by visiting

 To
support our friend Simon Haskins, ASE is sponsoring an exhibit of Sunshine
4 All quilt blocks. You can send us your quilt block, bring it to the expo
or you can even sit down and sew a block when you attend ASE this fall.
Please read below and follow the link to learn more about this very special
project to help find a cure for this dreadful disease!
Join us in the Sew Party Cafe' to sit and sew a block or two.
Fabric provided by our good friends at Coats and Free Spirit!

And bring several pairs of comfortable shoes and tote bags to fill with all the enticing fabrics, trims, patterns - lots of goodies to take home. Yes, the shopping will be very good! I look forward to seeing you!
