Everything Applique Conference Ap 28th 8:30 to 4:30 BJJC

We will be a vendor at the Everything Applique Conference at the BJCC - East Hall or Rooms on April 27th for a Meet & Greet of all the attendees. On Saturday 28th, our Brother area will be open for business. We will have lots of deals and product for sale. Myself and Pat Pike will be there with handouts and free "stuff". Be sure to go to our Facebook page for Sew Bizz and like us and there will be something special for you when you come by the booth. Details have been sketchy, we know, but this is the first time for these girls.

It reminds me when around 60 of us ladies gather in a little hotel in Paducah, about 1995/1996, when Brother first came out with PE Design. There was June Mullinger,Penny, Ann, Cookie, myself and coworker Mary Smith and lots of others that met and devoured the new exciting software. We had so much fun putting names and faces together, known only by our computer names, "Annthegran, or Cookiemonster"! I truley hope this is the beginning of something big! The foundation of people that met and shared information back then became so large that it had to be held in Vagas! Does anyone remember when? It grew and grew, then changed hands (several times, I think)and names. Let's face it, it is a huge undertaking. There is still a reminant left that will be holding a conference in Marrietta, Georgia this weekend, The American-Embroidery Conference April 25th -29th.  WOW a whole week, could you stand it!! And as we go to support this group of talented ladies, we wish them great success. Who knows where they will all end up!
