Quilt Market - Recap of Wednesday

The first photo I took... out my hotel window.

The convention center

My empty booth!!

40 minutes later it isn't so empty!!

Between getting up before 4am... and then the time change of adding 2 hours to our day... we quickly were beat.  We got some food & went back to the hotel to rest.

Later I did get to see Chopsticks hanging in Robert Kaufman's booth!


 It's 7:30am right now... and this is what my bed looks like.  One pile contains 14 quilts... made in 4 months... crazy!!  We are headed to the convention center to start hanging them up!

I might not get to blog again soon... but I'm taking lots of photos & will share them when I have time to post!!

    Cannot wait to see your booth Julie. I'm sure it will be fabulous! Love seeing Chopsticks at Robert Kaufman's booth. Congrats on that! LOVE that pattern. Just do not make me choose the #1 fav. Cannot do it. WAY too many of yours that I love.
