I was there today too (and Wednesday and Thursday...) I ran into Pauline which was a very nice surprise.

The quilts were great. I even got in a little bit of shopping. Also took a class from Yoshiko Katagiri which was very nice.

Yes, it was a nice surprise to run into Marcella. I think I was on duty white gloving - or on my way to my post. I'm contemplating making a quick run down there in a few minutes. I "need" to make a couple of purchases! I've never gone on the weekend - I hope it's not too crowded!
