With only four sleeps until I leave and a very long list of to dos still I shouldn’t be here, but yet again its been so long and just in case any of you are coming I wanted to let you know of some of my movements so we can say hi if its possible.
So, Spring Quilt market – the International Quilt trade show (trade customers only this time sorry) is on next week at the Salt Lake City Convention centre downtown SLC. Sue and I fly out Monday to start the long journey and then the long setup ready to open next Friday.
of course I have three schoolhouse sessions first on Thursday as follows:

Simple embroidery stitches are ever popular! Introduce them to your students and expand your range of embroidery skills and inventory with simple stitcheries, red work, and more. Make the first block in the Razz-a-Dazzle BOM quilt. (*; 6in embroidery hoop)

I will also be doing demos on demand in my booth daily showing the Easy English paper piecing method using iron on, leave in papers that is going crazy.And 4pm on Saturday I’ll be demoing and book signing on the Landauer Booth #1243 on my Gluestick applique method..
Phew, Im tired just thinking about this…
But wait! there’s more… This year a group of your favourite Aussie designers are grouping together to form the Aussie Aisle!
We’ll all be there in aisle #1800 – right inside the entrance doors next to the quilt exhibit! You’ll see our aussie bunting for sure… we have some exciting things in store for you….
Each designer will be doing their demos of what they do best!
We have a gorgeous Koala coming with us all the way from Australia – she is very excited, and also very friendly and would love to have her photo taken with you all. Then you can try and guess her name and go in a draw to win a fabulous basket of goodies from us all.AND
we are having free vegemite tastings too!
Come join all the action in aisle #1800 but before that join our new group – Aussie Designers on Facebook, you’ll see what each of us are doing now and into the future and have us on hand to answer questions etc ongoing.
of course, after market brings more excitement as I rush to the airport to travel to Minnesota to teach for the Hayward Quilt guild.. maybe I’ll see you there – there might be just 1 or 2 spots left if you are close by….
okay, back to my list now…
hugs for today
Helen
Have a safe trip and a blast over here. I've had no luck, apart from with my husband, with Vegemite. Everyone steers away from it.....but I have taught them all how to Tim Tam Slam! lol
