2012 Quilt Shows: Start Planning!

The holidays are over....the new year has begun.  If you are like me, you will spend the next month or so trying to remember to write 2012 on your documents instead of 2011!  I know I have caught myself about a dozen times already!

This year why not get a head start on planning.  If you are a fabric/sewing fanatic, you may want to think about attending some Quilt Shows.  Sadly I haven't had the opportunity to go to one of the big ones yet (it's just too difficult to get away without the kids), but I dream about going to one soon....

Maybe this is the year?
