Quilting…for the Rest of Us

In this episode, I talk about my adventures getting to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival and about the festival itself. I describe the lectures I attended and my purchases, and a visit with rocket scientists at NASA. A little bit of Sandy Update on the quilting front, and some listener feedback. Good times are had by all!
