If you aren't going, you can just visit his website.  Less dramatic music but lots and lots of goodies!

UPDATE:  Tony announced at Expo Night in New Orleans that he now has a 2017 calendar and notecards, all based on high quality photographs of his six international textile designs.  They are available for sale at Expo and also on his website.

UPDATE:  Folks says that Debbie posted the photo, and that Susan Newman was the winner.  Sorry!  I didn't understand the message obviously.  Also, the second link was correct but pointed to the Facebook page where this was mentioned.  I am not sure why when I changed the URL it still went to the previous URL.  I guess Blogger hated me yesterday.

UPDATE #2:  Here's something about Melita's ribbon and a lot of other winners, too.
