I really thought I would have time in the evenings to share all the fun from convention. Was I wrong! The days were filled with classes and the evenings full of meetings. By the time we got to our room, we could only crash and get some sleep. It seemed the pattern all week.
On the way into Reno, Pat and I stopped in Elko Nevada - Just thought I would show you our bright, sunny reception to Nevada:
The very first dinner meeting, they surprised us all! We all expected to see the new Designer Diamond Deluxe, but we were not prepared to see how it arrived and who introduced it! What a surprise! First came the airplane....
Then the staff bringing all the machines....
THEN came Sue Hausmann! What a special treat! Nobody can introduce a new machine like Sue! She brings excitement and fun to every introduction she does!
The machine is pretty awesome, as all Husqvarna Vikings are! Many beautiful features and new improvements!
This is the official video that we watched during the introduction:
The tension unit was joined by a new unit called the thread portioning unit
The next evening (after a day full of meetings), right after dinner, the marketing forum. They normally have this meeting in another room, not just after dinner. So, we presented on stage, on the big screen to most of the attendees.....Guess who the 4th of 5 speakers was????? Melissa....
I am normally not a nervous wreck when I make a presentation, but Pat was right up front to take pictures and listen to every word I said. It's a little harder to BS when your spouse is right there.... I made it through the entire presentation, phewwww.
New embroidery collections contain lace and crochet by machine. Wonderful samples!
Other wonderful quilting in the hoop samples:
Cards in the hoop:
Fancy New monogramming for wonderful projects!
The last night at dinner, I finally had a chance to visit with friends and former colleagues.
