Framed religious word art.
I met David Carr at the trade show today. He showed me some beautifully framed word art that I just loved. He cuts the word art then glues it to a fabric covered canvas. The canvas is then framed for a beautiful effect. You can get creative with the choice of fabric for a personal touch.
Below are two pictures of David's work. I think you will agree that it presents the scroll work beautifully. Thanks David.

What a wonderful day. The Midwest Scroll Saw and Woodworking Trade Show started today. When to doors opened there were already many people in line. All the booths were staying quite busy.
I peaked into a couple of the class rooms and the attendance looked strong there also.
I was in the Seyco booth and we were very busy all day. It slowed down a little in the afternoon but just enough to catch your breath. I had the easy job. I just had to stand there and talk to everyone. And boy did I talk. I met so many interesting and nice people today that I didn't even stop for a break.
There were people from Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio and I lost count. I received so many complimentary remarks about my blog that it made my year. I just can't tell you how nice it is to meet the people who make what I do worth while. It is an amazing group of people.
I was so busy running my mouth that I actually did not attend even one booth. I did get a few minutes to walk around the brag tables and the contest tables. The video below shows just a few minutes of that walk around. I will do my absolute best to get much more of the show videoed tomorrow. My gimble broke so I will have to hand hold the camera tomorrow. That will make the videos a little shaky but I'll do my best to get some good shots for you guys. so we left a
After the show ended many of us met at a park on the river for a great picnic. The food was good the scenery was incredible and the company was even better. Patty and I were both pretty worn out so we left a little early and came back to the room.
I had just about as much fun today as I am capable of having. If tomorrow is half as good of a time that will make for a perfect weekend.

I am really sorry but I stayed so busy today that I shot very little video. Here are a few clips that show some of the projects on the contest tables and the brag table. There are also a few shots of the picnic.
