2012 Sewing Summit
Hey WeAllSew fans! This is Amy Gutierrez, Director of Marketing for BERNINA, here to share with you my visit to this year’s Sewing Summit. Despite its sophomore year in existence, this was my first trip to the Sewing Summit and *knock on wood* it won’t be my last! The Sewing Summit is held at The Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah, where modern sewists connect with like-minded others in a fun and inspiring setting. The retreat attracts about 500 bloggers who come for hands-on workshops, networking events, inspiring speakers, and informative lectures to help advance their sewing and blogging skills. When I walked into the room, I could practically feel the creative energy as it was buzzing and humming all around me, and I thought, “These are definitely my peeps.”

It was wonderful to meet all of you ladies as well! I had a blast and can’t wait to sew/work together. I definitely felt right at home with all of the creative, crazy, multitasking, sewing moms that I met. 🙂
I keep thinking of the song from Grease “We Go Together”. LOL
Love you all! Olivia

I loved meeting you and Olivia in Rachel’s class, it was a treat for me to find out that you were in their with us. Speaking of which, might I say – you are Rach actually look like you could be sisters in that photo!!!
I know exactly what you are talking about when you say – I found my peeps. I felt the same way. That I was finally among a group of people that understood my interests, shared similar passions, and just got me. That people made great sacrifices to be there, all for the love of sewing. The connections that were made, the friendships that were forged, and the skills and knowledge that was learned are all things that I will take away with me and cherish.
