I wish i could have stayed for the whole day. for there was so many great people there. and they welcomed me with great welcoming. wow. next time I'll go alone. lol. and the scroll work was awsum. they are so talented there. there was some of Jeffs fret work patterns there. that was done in BB. wow not ply wood.. maybe i sneek a pictuer here. but there work was laying down and hard to get a pictuer of. the presadent was really talented. the next pic is of one of his patterns. the eagle. and they had books. and lots of wood to sell. I just could have taken it all home. some even from africa. wow. for such a small group. they sure had it going, their was folks from all over the globe. I could have stayed for much longer. but hubby and kids was outside tapping there foots . and i had to go. you can bet next year. I ll be going alone. lol. the one reason I wonted to go was to meet the scrollers. and I met a couple . that i made friends with. hope i don't get in troublale here. thier names are Doris an hubby Hauchen. Doris didn't talk much to me untill I said i was a quilter too. then they wouldn't let me go. lol. what nice folks. here is my pictures. hope i don't get in troubale. but they don't know to much of SSW. an wonted to learn.
