You guys, I am excited to say that in just a few hours, I’ll be heading to the airport and then to Portland, Oregon for the Summit of Awesome!
The Summit is a three day event of crafty panels, demonstrations, and activities where crafters can learn and network. The organizers at Hello Craft are some seriously amazing women, and I’m honored that they’re having me back to speak on a panel and do a Cup Glove demo!
Last week, I put together lots of info for the green crafting panel and assembled half-completed Cup Gloves for the demo. I realized that we won’t have access to any sewing machines, and we’ll have only limited numbers of irons and scissors, so for the sake of time I got the preliminary parts done. Here is the half-completed Cup Glove army:
The Summit runs Wednesday through Friday, and last I heard there were still one-, two-, and three-day passes available.
Where to Find Me
I’m participating in the green crafting panel on Wednesday at 3:30 along with Christine Claringbold of Eye Pop Art and Stephanie Weber from SCRAP. We’ve been working hard to make sure we cover a lot of ground, and I hope you can make it!
On Friday at 11am, you can hit up my Cup Glove workshop and learn how to turn that pile of fabric pictured above into reusable coffee sleeves!
On Saturday, they’re wrapping things up with a Show of Awesome at the Doug Fir Lounge from 10am to 3pm. I’ll be vending along with 40 crafters from across the country. There will also be a Make Something Awesome table, if you want to get your craft on! The show is free and open to the public, so if you can’t make it to the Summit, you can still come say hello at the show on Saturday!
I might be a little bit radio silent for the rest of this week, but I promise to take lots of pictures and do some sort of wrap up roundup situation once I get back home!
