Linda and I have been friends for 26 yerars and business partners for nearly 20 years. Amazing, don't you think?
When I was in Grand Junction, we were asked by the fine folks at Handi Quilter if we would like to be featured in their upcoming ad campaign celebrating friendship and quilting. Of course we wanted to! Not only are we friend and quilters (see 1st paragraph) but we both love our Sweet Sixteens.
The photographer came (on my birthday) to Linda's house. Linda had set the stage, I got to tweak at the last minute. Here is my photo of the 'stage':
Here's the ad you will be seeing in many magazines:
And, even better, here is the truck you might see us on! I'm not showing the other side, but it's good too (however, we're not on it, sigh).
Does this not crack you up?! It does me. If you happen to see the Handi Quilter truck out and about and have time to take a photo, please do send it to me. I am imagining us looking good at 70 mph on the highway :-).
In all seriousness, I can say two things. Quilting does bring friends together and the Sweet Sixteen is an amazing machine.

Wow, Many marriages do not last that long. Best wishes. Hoping I see you on the highway.

I used to work in advertising, and I have to say, I think that is a really brilliant ad! Kudos to the creatives who came up with that idea.
It is a great photo of you both. And if people start looking for the truck as it tootles along the highways, so much the better! Good, dippy fun, lol!

I wonder if the truck will come this far east (upstate, NY) I carry my camera with me so I’ll definitely take a photo. Love the photo of you and Linda. Quilting does bring people together and is a great way to find friends wherever you go!!
26 years of friendship and partnership – not too shabby! May it continue at least another 26!
