It has been such a whirlwind for the last 4 days......my feet have hardly touched the ground! On Wednesday morning we were up and on the road by 5.45am, stopping for breakfast at the Highway Lounge at the Caltex Werribee, battling western suburbs peak hour traffic and arriving at the Exhibition Buildings at about 9.30am. The ute was unloaded in no time at all and all of the boxes were stacked and ready for the big set up.
Last year it took me about 7 hours to set up my stand, but this year I was determined that it wasn't going to take that long......plus we wanted to visit little baby Georgia......a very good incentive to get it done!
It still took me about 5 hours.......but I was very happy with the way my stand looked.
I have lots of new projects designed, made and kitted up especially for AQC.
and a great selection of products from the shop
It is always hard to decide what to take as space is limited.
I have been very lucky that Russell was able to help me this year after Hannah wasn't able to due to her CPA exams next week. I think that he has enjoyed it despite having sore feet.
Thanks Jill for taking this cheeky photo of us on Thursday.
Tomorrow will be the final day of AQC. Come 4.30pm we will be packing it all up and making the trip home, and making plans for 2016!
We are about to get ready for the Gala Dinner this evening......putting on our glad rags to rub shoulders with Quilting Royalty. I'm looking forward to sitting down for a few hours and Russell is looking forward to the free drinks......it's going to be a fun night!
Linda :)
Where's the photo of Russell with his footy shorts on? LOL :) Enjoy the dinner ....and....Good Luck :)
