American Sewing Guild-ASG Conference 2010


ASG Conference-2010

8 Days until the conference! We are so excited for our first year participating in the American Sewing Guild Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA. We usually do quilting shows or quilting/sewing shows but this will be our first time at an all sewing show! How fun! We are especially looking forward to this show because it is close to home being in Atlanta.

Here is a description from the conference brochure:

"...from August 4–9, 2010, Atlanta is the place where ASG members from across the nation
will convene for ASG Conference 2010. Come and learn the best, the newest, the fastest, the most
professional techniques for all things sewing from 40 instructors teaching more than 100 workshops, seminars, and lectures in two-day, all-day, halfday, two-hour, and 90-minute formats. And when you’re not learning about sewing, you can shop for all things sewing in the vendor packed exhibit hall. These things alone make Atlanta worth the trip. . . but there’s more! Special events include Thursday evening’s Exhibit Hall Preview Night, Friday evening’s Member/Instructor/Exhibitor Fashion Show, Saturday’s Wear Your ASG Patterns Day, and inspiring exhibits, including the Art Bra Exhibit from The Way to Women’s Wellness Foundation, the Designer’s Challenge from the Handweavers Guild of America, and a selection of Bernina Fashion Show garments created by ASG members..."

It looks like it's going to be a fantastic sewing week! We hope all of you will come visit us in Booth #417/419.

Happy Sewing,

Jenna

Creative Customers

We are always excited to get emails with the work that people have done with our fabric. It  makes me happy to see that people love our fabric as much as we do! Beth and I are working on a dress pattern using a tank top and some of our fabric, here is a look at our dress and one of our customers who took our design and made it her own! The result is beautiful!

Grand Bazaar Fabrics- Weddings

My sister Allison got married this summer in June and she used Grand Bazaar Fabrics in her decorations! Her colors were navy and violet. She decided to use some of our Michael Miller fabric for her table runners. My mom, Elizabeth, sewed them and it turned out magnificent! We loved being able to add something special to her wedding day! Congratulations Allison!
