The first trip is in the books, walking through those convention doors, the mass amount of space that was in front of me, the twisting aisles of fabric, quilts, notions, clothing, tools, designers, and industry professionals… Overwhelming. But exciting and inspiring at the same time.
Recipes: Food – Vegetarian Pasta Salad
This is a great pasta dish all year round, look for tomatoes at your local farmer's market.

I promise this will be a hit that everyone will continue to ask you to bring over to their potluck dinner!
