Next week I will teach at Road to California. This will be my first time at this event and I am thrilled! I have heard many wonderful things about this show and am excited to finally get to experience it myself!
I love teaching at quilt shows. It has to be one of the best jobs in the world. Other people notice how much fun it is and also think it is the most fun job in the world.
I taught nearly every week from March through Thanksgiving of 2013. I got home and immediately welcomed houseguests for Thanksgiving, houseguests for a baby shower for my soon-expected grandson, and houseguests for Christmas through the New Year. My kitchen and dining room were busy places.
As soon as the houseguests left, the dining room had a different purpose -- a staging area for class supplies for Road to California:
I pre-quilted all of the class kits so my students won't have to baste or mark their projects. I photocopied all of the class handouts. I counted and stacked and packed all of the other necessary supplies.
Today, finally, everything was ready. I packed several huge boxes, taped them, labeled them, loaded them all into my car, and they are now winging their way to the quilt show.
I HAVE A DINING ROOM AGAIN!!!! See for yourself:
Lest you think that means I get the rest of the week off, you are mistaken. I have many other projects and upcoming teaching jobs demanding my attention.
But at least I have a dining room...
Who will I see in California? Let's make plans!
