That’s the role we try to play.” The organizers said they made a list of all the categories that Winter Texans could use. Then they chose their favorite for each one. Most of these invited businesses have been operating in the RGV for years. However, one of them is extremely new. On Saturday, Cindy Biggerstaff will introduce Bigg Stitch, her new longarm quilting and embroidery business. “I’m retiring from my corporate job to go to work for myself,” she said. “The Expo seems like a good place to launch my new venture, to begin the next chapter of my life doing something I really love.” She said it’s exciting for her and she’s ready. Her Bigg Stitch business cards, her shirt (complete with her new business logo), her flyers, along with drawing gifts for Expo attendees have all arrived. Plus, she has samples of her longarm and embroidery work set to display. “I think of Bigg Stitch as art… as artwork,” she said. “From stitching quilt layers together with different patterns, to embroidering logos or names on quilts, Christmas stockings, hats, or t-shirts… I can do all of that.” As a side note, Cindy is not a novice at quilting or embroidering. They’ve been long-time hobbies for her. According to Barb, Cindy was invited to the Expo because “her work is exquisite,” and because her longarm work has been recommended by top quilters at Alamo Palms. “Choosing people like Cindy to attend is rewarding,” the co-organizer said. “I love that our Alamo Palms’ Expo is an event organized See EXPO pg. 24 Alamo Palms hosts Business and Health Expo One of 50 businesspeople and health experts, RGVgeek’s owner (Art) will be ready to diagnose Winter Texans laptop problems for free at Alamo Palms RV Resort on Sat., Jan. 27 from 10-1.
