Oprah in the Spring...oh..I mean...Winter


It was a packed house...

14,400 women and 100 men!!

At least that's about all I saw for men.


Even the men's bathroom was taken over....

I like how the icon shows a man changing the baby!!


A man came in dazed because his bathroom was filled with women...

We said he could pee...we won't look..Promise!!

The urinals were open....


but in the end we let him go first in one of the stalls...

After all it was the MEN'S room!!!


It was a girl's night and unbelievable to be seeing her in Saskatoon

 when I tried for 25 years to go to Chicago.

Oprah talked about trusting your instincts.

Luck is nothing more than preparation meeting opportunity.

Follow that common thread that weaves through your life.

It won't steer you wrong!!

I came to the conclusion that I have been raised well by my parents and Oprah!!

While in Saskatoon,

we took the time to stop in at Periwinkle Quilt Store


This was Tracey's favorite quilt in Saltwater fabric.


There was lots of inspiration...


a baby corner...



I was even able to resist my weakness...

Laurel Birch anything!!



Saturday Sampler Blocks....


Then it was down to Moose Jaw where we stopped at the Stitcher's Nook.

Buttons galore!!


Vintage tattings of cats.....



and butterflies.



Over to the Quilter's Haven...

where there was a full wall of Quilt Shows to attend this summer!!



Heather's Quilting Palette.....


Oh...the imagination that Heather has....


Each piece was so lifelike....


Her rendition of wheat is incredible!!


The Quilter's Haven and Heather's Quilting Palette

will be two of the vendors at our Quilt Show on June 29 & 30th, 2013.

At The Quilt Patch.....


 we got a sneak peak of their second line of fabric that just arrived!!

Thanks to Oprah,Tracey and Maryann for a great experience!!
