I recently received notice that the classes for the Original Sewing & Quilt expo were posted for Worcester, MA 2010 on the www.sewingexpo.com website.
In 2000 I started me, myself & I. I spend time taking classes around the country trying to update myself in the latest sewing trends and equipment. It was time well spent. For many years I was an Ambassador (volunteer) for the expo. I would spend 4 days helping in the classroom as needed, and manning help desks and such. It was a great way to keep apprised of what was new and exciting in the sewing market. Because of my business and what life throws at you, I haven’t taken the time to check out Worcester in many years.
Yesterday I took the time to check out this year’s schedule. I will be attending this year, but it will be as a student. I look forward to filling 4 days from approximately 8:30AM to 8PM with back to sewing basics. I will be reviewing machine quilting, hand appliqué, home deco, hand embroidery and even be making a jacket. I have filled every hour with what I love to do best. Some classes have instructors that I took classes from when I first traveled. There are also instructors that are new to me.
If you love sewing, as I do, make the time to check out www.sewingexpo.com. Maybe we will end up in a class together.
Pre day class is Wednesday April 7. The expo is Thursday April 8-Sat April 10, 2010 with details on their website.
Be sure to sign up early – the classes fill fast!
