(Hee-Hee - Happy Halloween :)


thanks to Lois, at Bernina USA!! :)

I Love My MBT's!!! :)

As you all know, I have spent the weekend at Quilt Market in Houston. What an amazing (and yes... overwhelming at times!) experience!! I took two classes -- making a silk clutch purse using free-motion quilting (more on that in a later post!!) and a class on using Shiva Paintstiks (more on that later too!!) But the rest of the time was spent walking the floor of the huge vendor area, looking at (and buying, of course!) quilting fabric, dupioni silk, quilting threads, serger threads, embroidery threads, embellishments, quilting and sewing patterns and books, Horn cabinets... and on and on...

That's a LOT of time on your feet... on those awful concrete floors.... I left the hotel at 7:30 am, walked a couple of blocks to the convention center, and then spent all day until 7 or 8 pm on my feet most of the time... and then walked back to the hotel.... In the past, my feet and my legs and my lower back would have been screaming "just kill me now!!!".... and I would have been looking for my bottle of painkiller...

BUT... you know what?? My feet don't hurt... not at all.... my back doesn't hurt... my legs don't hurt.... and I don't wake up in the morning thinking "I can't move!!!"

I have loved my MBT's from the time I bought them, but I never REALLY put them to the test until this weekend... I brought my sandals (Kisumu) and some new oxfords (Beach)... and they were GREAT!!


And it just occurred to me..... Bernina and MBT are both made in Switzerland... how COOL is THAT??? :)

And yes... this is an unpaid testimonial!! :)
Now... if they'd just come out with a MaryJane style I'd be so very thankful!!
