Minneapolis Spring Quilt Market

Rhonda and I discovered this gem on Wednesday night.   I PROMISE YOU -- I did not spend the entire week at this fabulous restaurant...
But that might be nice, eh?
And, as it happens, we ate there the next night.  Thursday is a very special day at Quilt Market.  IT IS SCHOOLHOUSE DAY.  Marti Michell does a terrific job of lining up dozens (hundreds?) of classes that go for 15 minute (or 30 minute) intervals. This is a very unique event that is FAST-PACED and informative. We only have FIVE minutes between classes -- so it's RUN, RUN, RUN...
Mary was part of a Schoolhouse class with some other fabric designers (more about that later)...
Deanna Springer was substituting for Nancy Zieman, introducing several of her new sewing notions and books...(sorry -- I should have taken better pictures!)
Deanna and Mary had both worked so hard to get their Schoolhouse Sessions ready in time for Market. IT'S NERVE-WRACKING, people!!

Mary was introducing something a little different, and Deanna was nervous about presenting Nancy Zieman's new sewing notions (she is usually the behind-the-scenes girl).  At the end of the day, most of us have attended 12 or 13 sessions...so we were pretty burned out.

SO -- YES -- that's who we had dinner with on Thursday night. Altho, it was raining, so the roof wasn't open...
