CGOA Saturday cont....

Saturday after I got done with my fabulous class with Lily I went to present my designs. I met with Bobbie Matela, Design Production Manager at Coats & Clark.  She looked over my designs and like a few of them.  I cannot say what until I know if she will actually purchase them or pass on them.  It is kind of a waiting game.  I then met with Carol Alexander, Executive Editor for Crochet! and Crochet World Magazines.  she also liked some of my designs and they will go for further review.  I presented 8 designs and currently have 1 sold and 7 still under review. Not bad for my first time out!!  I did not have the opportunity to talk at that time, but later I spoke with Cari Clement, director of fashion and design at Caron Yarn.


 After banquet was the fashion show. It was great to see some of the designs in person. Photos are wonderful but they often do not do a piece justice.

These are the last of my photos from the conference.
