Patti and Deb went to the show last weekend. Under 20 small quilts, but they were worth seeing. Also the gift shop was very nice. It's close to the Museum of Appalachia. Also close to Golden Girls and Harrisons - both good places to eat. They also have a quilt trail square on the side of the building! A nice 1/2 day outing!!!!

Do You Know What a Cane Sweater is?
They were invented by the Sacramento Project Linus coordinator. Here's more info from her about them:
Some of you might remember that I invented the "Cane Sweater" 2 years agowhen my dad needed to start using a cane. What started out as kind of afamily joke has turned into a wonderful venture! We have our own website(www.canesweaters.com) and all proceeds go to Project Linus! Well, lastyear, I entered it in the Michael's/Vanna's Choice contest and was just informed that I won 3rd prize! Wow! What an honor! I'm way down the pictures on their site, but we're there! Check outhttp://www.vannaschoice.com/ I wish they had put in the story of its creation to get more publicity for Project Linus, though!
