aqc wrap up

Finishing set up by 4.30 in the afternoon turned out to be very wishful thinking. 4.30 came and went and there was still a huge amount to do. We finally called it quits just after 7.00pm. It had taken us a little over 7 hours. There was a short break mid afternoon when everyone had to evacuate the building but that was the only break we had! It wasn't until we sat down for a meal at 8.30 we realised we hadn't eaten since 10.30 that morning. Now I'm a girl who's happiest drinking coffee and snacking all day so that says something.

It was a lot of fun and fantastic meeting so many lovely people who were very enthusiastic about the stand and my designs. I had such a good time I've decided to do it all again next year.

It would have been incredibly difficult to set up/pull down and manage the stand alone so a huge thank you to Jan, her assistance was invaluable.

AQC - almost

Yes the AQC is almost here. Hopefully this time tomorrow Jan and I are sitting back and relaxing, with the stand decorated and ready for the doors opening at 10.00am Thursday morning.

You'll find kits for these and lots more.

And don't forget the Make & Take project.

A pocket sized needle keep. As you can see I've already done some of the prep work for you! Bookings are essential at Stand 191.

See you there!

AQC stock has been delivered

The phone rang, just as I was heading out the door this afternoon. It was Dianne from Agility to say all my boxes for the AQC had arrived in Melbourne.  They went yesterday and I'm very relieved to hear they were delivered together and so quickly.

Jan helped finalise the packing and measuring of the boxes Wednesday afternoon. Who knew one of these things could be so tricky to use.

Just when I'd think I'd got the hang of it, the tape would stick to what it wasn't supposed to, double back on itself..... There was plenty of frustrated laughter!

Here's what was packed in some.  

AQC - preparations

Who knew getting ready for a show could be so much fun.  Not a day goes past when I don't get to play - cutting fabrics, bundling them together and mixing them with buttons and threads.  Selecting combinations that I know couldn't resist and wishing I could make one of everything!

AQC - progress of sorts

Only a month to go to the AQC. There I was thinking I had things pretty much under control and now I'm not so sure. I'm sure the last couple of weeks were short a few days. But some progress has been made.

The Make & Take kits are done.

And thanks to Jan, the pink bundles for 'Coconut Ice' are folded and ready to kit.

favourite fabrics - for this week

Yes, I do have to admit I am fickle when it comes to my favourite fabrics. Last week it was all about pink, and before that it was those gorgeous Urban Cowgirl fabrics in green and pink. Now it's these! 

I wonder if I will ever get tired of red!
