Looking for free fabric? Quilters, crafters, and anyone interested, I will be bringing bags of fabric remnants to give away for FREE at the Great Lakes Congress Show October 19. I also have some bigger cuts that I am passing on that may be big enough for pouches. (Still working on pulling fabrics out to pack.) First come, first served.

Have you ever had one of those days, weeks, months? We at GLC have! We were so busy testing out our new classlist (Breyer/Stone split, plus adding performance) that we neglected to get in our NAMHSA paperwork in within the 60-day deadline. We just realized our error. That means our April show will be cancelled. We are very, very sorry.

All entrants have just been notified. They have the option of rolling over their entries to the August show (which will have the same classlist as April, with the Stone/Breyer split, plus performance), or the October show (Breyer/Stone split, no performance), or December (same as August). We are putting in our NAMHSA applications for those shows today.

We are very sorry, as we enjoy seeing all of our friends. We hope you have a wonderful spring, and we'll look forward to seeing you this fall!!
