We got to work about 6 am and started filling helium balloons for the big bash.
Then all of the employees filled our entry way armed with silly string. Fourteen Quilters had been chosen for our ad campaign this coming year. They each wrote their quilting story and submitted it. They were chosen from all over the country and got an expense paid trip to a retreat at our studio.
It was pretty fun when they came in and each one got introduced. That was just the start of the fun.
Every hour or two they got a new gift from a vendor or Handi Quilter. They got fabric, rulers, magazines, batting, scissors, calendars and day planners.
All the Rulers was the one thing that really brought them to tears, but then they got "Go Baby's", which cut fabric in shapes. Anyway, they were all overwhelmed and really a great bunch of people. Now they will each be in quilting magazines all through the coming year.
This is just part of the "loot " they got one day!
The last day we had a class on how to quilt your quilt and each of them brought a quilt top. This was my favorite.
