Here are some pics of my stand at the AQM. I must have been busy as each day just flew past. What took hours to go up took just minutes to pull down.
I finally got the chance to meet Lyn from Moore Patchwork & Quilting.
A big thank you to Jan for all her assistance leading up to the weekend and over the weekend. It really does take two!
Sweet Heart Birdies, the pattern I taught at Mamre House, was released at the AQM.
Here it is in blue. I can't decide which I prefer. I guess it depends on my mood. The blue would make a perfect bridal gift. Stitch the bride & grooms names and wedding date on the back for a lovely keepsake.
The pattern for Pear Tree, a felt needlecase and pincushion was also finished for the AQM (also a Mamre House project).
It's always very encouraging and delightful to hear my designs inspire, but sometimes there is a downside, when a pattern is purchased and the concept used for teaching purposes. If you like a pattern, you are welcome to teach it, as long as each student has purchased a copy.
Hey Marg, the stand looked wonderful, so much gorgeous things to look at, fondle and I hope, puchase, LOL.
Hope it was a great show for you.
PS I must send the bracelet, sorry, keep forgeting it.
cheers
Roz

Congratulations on surviving AQM! I am sure you were a huge success. Your new patterns are lovely. I am particularly enamoured with Sweet Heart Birdies, especially with your idea of using it as a bridal gift. I am gaining a new sister-in-law very soon & it would be perfect. I am guessing you haven't had time to put the pattern up on your site yet. I will be watching for it! Do you have a supply of buttons, or do we need to get those from Barb? Sorry, I'm hardly giving you a chance to draw breath after a busy time away! But you will keep producing beautiful designs!! Best wishes, Ros.
