i survived my 3 minutes on stage – and with some degree of success beyond survival, i might add. ^_^ even bobbie told me i had done well!
i did not get any bookings, however, there did seem to be several people interested – maybe some will even visit the webpage and order?? and maybe there will be an invitation to a new quilt show?? also, someone took information from each of us(our handouts) to take to the southern calif version of this same thing. there is always a table available for literature from teachers who cannot make it to the ‘on stage’ thing.
after the gig, we headed out for lunch!! much needed by moi – as usual i had not allowed time for eating before we left! we went to the same french rest. we had been to a couple of other times when in that area. i splurged – and it was even kinda healthy! broiled trout and lots of veggies/salad. yum! and a ‘typical; french dessert of fruits and cheese.
the drive home was safe and as quick as traffic would allow – it was almost 3:00 by the time we hit the freeway and that means the beginning of rush hour out here! not terrible, just quite heavy – couple of slow downs/stops, etc. home by about 5:00.
i did manage to get most of the kits folded – not all. must finish those today – plus a million other things! heading out at dawn for eureka! that means, besides all the final gathering and packing – it all must get moved to the rv. and i have to do laundry – or go buy more undies! geeezzz. so the washer is already doing its thing and once i have finished this, i will print covers for those kits! if i don’t have enough pattern copies, i am going to just pull some from the (packaged) patterns in the garage – then will do the office max run next week! i really do need to clone myself! way too many things to handle. ^_^
no pics today. will take the camera and see what i can take while gone. weather has really cooled here, so it won’t be the ‘relief’ i was looking forward to being close to the coast. still, the drive up 101 will be nice. should take about 6 hours from here. setup begins at noon. then, they have an evening ‘gala’ from 7-9. not looking so forward to that. those things never do so well for the vendors – truth is, everyone just wants to see their own quilt hanging – not shop. at least there will be free food. ^_^
ok, off to it
love and beauty
