Trying out this.... I am finally on....

Yeepie


Hi Shirley....
What's going on in VA>

DJ

hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Calico ( my locals ) just raised slipcover prices considerably. Check out your local Calico's.


What this means : stores here can no longer assume that the sewing is done by unskilled labor and perhaps labor of questionable status. The work was prices so low before it wouldn't pay minimum wage.

What this also means : you can ask for and receive ( demand, please ) individual consideration for your plan, when you buy. Ask for, and expect to be included in the planning. This new price covers the ability to ask for details personal to you, not just a cookie cutter slipcover. You will be paying for it, yes. Ask for the best, and the best is your plan, not someone else's.

Thank you to all....

Without you it would not have been possible................

Dede, Susan, Cat, Rose, Judith, Shirley, Donna, Alicia, and CJ.....

For those who didn't make it to Shirley's afterward the Tamales were great for the PJ Party. We were soooo tired we did not talk about washing fabrics that will be left for another time. Maybe the Summit....

So is everyone signed up for the Summit?????

Made it home safely! I love you guys! Kim - I can't wait to see you in Colorado! :) TAMALES RULE!!!

I'm going to bed now...

hello KIM, Dede is here !!

Hi Kim - it's me! :D :D :D

Hello Kim and anyone else reading....

We miss you all, and wish you were here in Baltimore.

Kim do you have the design for shirts so we can see it???

Let me know
K

we are all here, pictures coming soon. Our events are fun, supportive of all newcomers, fun, informational, fun, food filled, fun, and very informal. www.picturetrail.com/slipcoverlady soon.

TAMALES? YOU ARE HAVING TAMALES? That is almost enough to make me skip the graduation in San Diego... for that matter, my male child would ALSO rather be eating tamales than going through the graduation...

I love love love tamales...

But... I get to spend the whole day with my kid at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Saturday. How much better could it be?

Shirley: I'll call you tomorrow (Wednesday). My flight arrives 8:05am (Friday), so I'll be looking for a shuttle sometime after that.

Kim: We'll really miss you. :(

Kim, we will miss you too ( all the while eating our tamales, to sweat off at a later date ).

Dee, Karen wants to talk to you about the shuttle from the airport. Yellow bus, lower level, convention center transpo. Call me on the house phone I gave you.

I am so envious of everyone getting to hang out at Shirley's place... I'll be in San Diego for my son's college graduation. Hopefully sweating off the pounds.

Maybe next year....

It will be the Window Fashions show in Atlanta and Dee the shows are never the same. Similar but never the same....

Hopefully they will want us to exhibit again there.

Karen, is Atlanta next years' location for the same show? Or something else entirely?

Yes, I was in NH,,, for 5 days. It was a great experience and I meet a lot of wonderful people.

The booth in Baltimore is through the Slipcover Network. We pay for the booth by doing a class at the show. We meaning myself, and Alicia will be teaching a class to pay for the booth.

This give others an opportunity to learn about Slipcovers. Others meaning designers, decorators and other folks who are making slipcovers for a living or would like to add this onto what else they are already doing.

The Slipcover Network organizes the opportunity for other Slipcover pros to come and pass out business cards and talk about slipcovers. It also is a great networking time for all of us in the business.

Next year we are hoping to be in Atlanta 14,15,16 2005, if they ask us back.

Karen, before I get forget to ask (again)... Is our table at Baltimore sponsored by Slipcover America or Slipcover Network?

Karen, was that the Portsmouth, NH class? I would like to have come (I'm "only" two hours away), but you'll have to wait until Friday to see my lovely face... :D

No, I will not be attending the reception on Thursday night. Save me some punch, okay?

Wow I am ready for some time off from teaching folks about Slipcovers.

On my way home from New Hampshire. Meet a lot of really nice people and hope I enlightened them some.

It will be good to relax in Baltimore with friends and associates.

Who will be there Thursday night, we are invited to a reception?????

a week went by ( and it didn't fly ! )

embroidering slipcovers here in Baton Rouge.
