Ladies start your quilting engines.... the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair starts tomorrow morning at Darling Harbour at 9am sharp! (If you're early, they provide line dancing while you wait!)
We spent the day in our spunky orange safety vests setting up our booth all ready for the onslaught. We started with an empty shell and a tree.....
and worked hard all day, adding and adding and adding......
Until, after some coffees, a few moves of things and a bucket of hot chips for good measure, we were done. And we're all ready for you! We're pretty proud of the kits, don't they look nice this year?
So there you have it. Everything is boxed and pinned and priced and wrapped and stacked and prettied up. We've tucked it all up for the night so it gets a good night sleep ready for a huge day tomorrow. Curtains down on us too, we are TIRED and unless we get our beauty sleep, no-one will like what they see in that lovely booth tomorrow! That's all folks.....
love your space... i wanna come too.... have a great show.. margie

SPUNKY!! Now there's a word that takes me back! Should be used more often these days! Yes, very spunky orange vests. Have a fantastic time at the Fair. Love how the kits look. Only wish I could click my fingers & be there from 500 kilometres away! Best wishes, Ros.

Wow! All that hard work. I hope to check it out on Friday.
In the meantime, I found this slideshow on the Sydney Morning Herald website. It features the quilts at the Show made to honour Australia's war veterans - called 'Made with Love'
