Valerie Schlake awarded "Innova-nator" of the Year!
During Saturday evening's Grand Celebration of the Art, Liz Torrence, one of The Longarm Network's Proud Innovians, stormed the stage to take control of the microphone.
Liz spoke about Birds, our supportive longarm community, our Network, and how much it all means to so many people.
Val was totally blown away when Liz then presented to her the first annual
Innovanator of the Year Award
in recognition of her many contributions to the longarm quilting community!
After recovering from her surprise, Val said she was honored by the thoughtfulness behind the gesture. She thanked all of the wonderful customers who together have made The Longarm Network a place of learning, encouragement, and friendship.
