Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF) 2009 is well underway and started already yesterday.I'll be there all day tomorrow assisting the conference official appraiser, Cindy Brick. I'm so excited to meet her as she is such an expert in crazy quilts, and historic quilts in general. It is very kind of her to take me as her assistant and I cannot wait to get more appraisal experience under my belt.
I used to HAVE to visit PIQF in order to see my friend Mariko at the Azabu-Ya booth, but she is no longer doing shows. I will miss her dearly, but will be on the look out for other cool shops this time around.
Pinwheels should be there, and there is always something good and taupe-y to see in their booth.
Oh, and my friend Rebecca has a quilt in the show this year (#1111) so be sure to check it out if you have the pleasure to attend.
So happy for you! This is going to be an excellent opportunity for you to take in the beautiful quilts and learn so much! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! What an experience, to be her assistant. And to see all of those lovely quilts, too. I hope you have lots of fun!
