Usha is vending in New Jersey this weekend!!

LISTEN UP!!! -- All you Handloom Batik junkies in the CT-NY-NJ-PA metro area -- Usha is vending this weekend at the Garden State Quilt Guild show on Sat-Sun, May 21-22.  If you haven't bought enough of her gorgeous cloth, or haven't discovered it yet -- now's your chance!!

The show will be held at the Mennen Arena in Morristown, NJ. and will have 300 quilts, according to what I have heard.   Driving directions here.

I missed Usha in March when she was at the NJ Mancuso show because I was traveling, and I didn't get to Paducah during the AQS show - so I am excited to have found out yesterday that she'll be  a half-hour away from me this weekend. NOT that I need any more of her fabric.  (But as my father used to say, "what does need have to do with it?")

This afternoon I was in the studio and wanted to see what I had sitting around.   I found some; many of them were leftover strips.  Yummy - but where was the rest of it?

The rest of it was at home. After some searching, I remembered that when I reorganized my sewing room neatly (past tense) I had shoved the plastic bag with all the pieces into a drawer. So now I had to take them out and see where I need to fill in.   After a while, I gave up; there was no more room on the table.

It's really embarrassing that I am even thinking about acquiring more.  (don't I look embarrassed?)

So if you see me there on Saturday afternoon (yes, I'll be there) DO NOT LET ME BUY ANYTHING!  After the show, Usha and I are going out for Indian food.  If you want to join us, just show up at the Handloom Batik booth a little before 5:00, when the show closes.
