I'm sew excited...I am going to the AQS Quilt Week in Paducah with my friends from France...which I have dubbed the French Contingent of Quilters (FCQ). They have been planning this trip for some time and initially I thought I needed to stay in France until the end of April...but really...I don't need to stay. (It's amazing what a little sulking around the apartment did to spur my husband's initiative to send me on a trip...because as far as he knows...it was all his idea!)
We all meet in Atlanta where we will converge on our international hostess, my best friend, Sandy. It is a tight schedule of shopping, shopping....and more shopping. I absolutely cannot wait to go! I hope I also run into some of my U.S. quilting friends while I'm in Kentucky. The show is April 22-25.
Sew...in the meantime...I've started my shopping list.
I haven't sewn much in the last two days but here is where I ended up in my scrappy block project.
I have kept working away on my evening project, the princess stocking.
There are new stocking designs being released....this is why I never stop making these kits...sew adorable. I love the new line of Nordic designs...just look at this one!!!
Love it!
Back to "working" on my shopping list.
Oh yesss ! I think my little poor credit card is going to work a lot during this week !! :))))

lucky you! I really do not know if I am going -I had thought about it but never made any reservations and then with just having taken a trip I really shouldn't take another so soon - hubby is feeling neglected from the long trip I just got back from and I think the credit card needs a rest also.
ReplyDeleteOh you are going to have such a good time!! I haven't been for a couple of years but have seen the show about 10 times in my life. I'm sure that a stop at Hancock's of Paducah will be on the agenda... bring lots of money! LOL Also if you get a chance there is a great restaurant called Aunt Patti's/ Uncle Bill's - porkchops to die for and pie that is about 10" tall.. I kid you not! Call for a reservation. It is a bit out of Paducah but worth it. It is 2 restaurants but they are together... hard to explain... 2 different entrances & dining room. Sometimes it is easier to get a reservation on the Uncle Bill's side.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to go this year, but that is the same weekend as my son's wedding. Next year for sure I'll be there!
You're so lucky! I hope that you all have a marvelous time! I have never been but I can imagine that it is so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYes! FCQ !! love it!!! I am so happy and excited, like a little girl!
ReplyDeleteAren't we leaving the 24?
ReplyDeleteWe did only 12 km today.... Less than last time... We have to make up for it Monday but I really enjoy to have so much company for lunch :)
Hi Debbie! Bryan mentioned to me you did embroidery but I had no idea you were a quilter too! I used to quilt myself - just log cabin and trip around the world. I made a few but then couldn't do it anymore due to life circumstances. However, my dear friend is a quilter and we used to visit the quilt museum in Lowell, MA (been there twice) and she has mentioned meeting me in KY to go to a museum there. Anyway, love your work and looking forward to meeting you in Paris soon! Sheila
ReplyDeleteHope we get to see you in Paducah. Send me a text. I will PM you my number if you don't have it. I'm so looking forward to it too. Hugs Melody
