Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely 90+ weather. Ha!
Amy sent me a reminder that this weekend is the QU Show out at the Dulles Expo Center. If you have been and have any advice, please leave a comment.

You never know what might happen!
Here is a list of demonstrations straight from the QU website:

Speaking of the SLMQG, member Kati who blogs at From the Blue Chair just did a series on using color that is worth checking out!
