I'm in Minneapolis, MN for The Creative Connection this week. What
an amazing crowd of bloggers and business women! All brought together
by Nancy Soriano, Jo Packham, and their fantastic friends and staff.
It
is an honor to be invited as a speaker and panelist. They have put
together a perfect schedule of business-fodder, food, and fun, along
with an impressive Handmade Market.
The event kicks off tomorrow
morning with a variety of classes for the attendees. At lunchtime, The
Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, will join in for some Q & A. Then MaryJane Butters and Amy Butler will speak at the kick-off
dinner. I have an autograph party tomorrow night and two panels on
Friday, centered on business development, with some meals and meetings
in there as well. Saturday morning I'm listening in on another panel,
then heading back home. It's a full schedule.
I can't wait.
(It looks like the bio and pig-tailed photo of me on the Creative Connection site
are both several years out-of-date. Oops. (No, I'm not introducing my
first line of fabric this year.) Here's a more up-to-date portrait courtesy of Charlotte.)

Love those lips!!!! 🙂
There is something about the eyes that seems right. Heehee. Very nice partarait and love how she has written into the dress. Cherrie
Oh my gosh, I wish I were there – I SO wanted to go to this event. If it goes well this year, I hope you’ll go again because I would love, love, love to meet you and talk sewing business :-). I’ve got some questions and topics I would love to discuss.
Have a great time – can’t wait to hear all about it!!

Awesome event! Great to run into you in the hallway. Really useful panel info too. Enjoy your day!
I went to TCC and I went to the panel you were on. I so wanted to tell you what an inspiration you are but I never managed to run into you. So here it is a few days late: you are an inspiration!
…such a highlight to have met you in person!
My daughter attended and she said she had a great time. Thank you!
It is interesting, I will go back to read them again.
Love is a smile drinking arsenic – know it toxic, but still fun.
Miss Charlotte can see the angels that surround you. 🙂 How lucky you are!!!
