Yee-haw

Arizona neighbors! You will seriously miss out if you don't make your way to downtown Mesa, AZ this weekend for Blissfest 2009, presented by my ever-fabulous friends at Domestic Bliss, Kristin & Dan Alber. Stephanie Nielson and her husband, Christian, will be there. Tara Frey will be doing a book signing with her new book, Blogging for Bliss. Jaimee Rose is coming too. There will be music, dancing, dozens of artists' booths, a stagecoach -- I mean, come on, a stagecoach! 

I'll be at the Blogging Lounge on Saturday afternoon and the HB crew will be there too, with our own version of a general store: Trash Ties, fabric, felt, patterns, kits, chit chat, perhaps some chocolate to snack on. So, AZ folks, put your cotton-pickin' boots on and mosey on down to Friday night's 'Grand Fandango' and Saturday's Blissfest Market. Details on the flyer above or visit the Blissfest blog.

Happy Fall. I don't know about your neck of the woods, but, here, the weather is gorgeous. Finally.

See you there!

(Felt supply all fat & re-stocked by the way -- if you've been waiting.)

I can't make it Friday night, but will Stephanie Nielson be there Saturday as well? And is it only Friday that you're supposed to dress "western"? That sounds so fun! I wish I had heard about it earlier! I guess it's better today than hearing about it Sunday! :-)

Wish, wish, wish I could go. Indiana is not quite a neighbor of AZ.

Oh how I wish I could go. . .

I wish I could go. I wish I could meet Stephanie. I wish I could meet Heather. I live in Michigan though...{sad}

[heather hales]

will you have any of your fabulous felt at the event? I'm hoping to swing by for a bit and would love to grab some felt!

[Kathryn]

All these shows and fun things between your blogs and the clark/nielson blogs makes me want to move to your side of the country! I wish, SO WISH I could come. I hope you do really well, and please share pics from your display when you return!

Do you know I recently traveled over an hour to a quilt shop that I discovered carried your fabric lines...it was SO worth the trip! I even bought your Happy Stacker pattern too!

I'm from Tucson and it's just a hop, skip and a jump away. But I have a wedding to attend. Total bummer! Have fun :o)

I bit far away from Barcelona, Spain, but I would love to be there. And what's a fandango? In Spain is an antique popular dance, but it also can be a nasty way of referring to some part of a woman's body... ahem...

Hi Heather,

I live in CA, so will not be able to attend the Blissfest. Although, I am going to purchase the book. Will be great to read during Winter evenings with a cup of Hot Chocolate! Take Care! Franchelle

I even had my photo taken in front of some of your wonderful fabrics! Plese feel free to stop be and say hello!
