Quilt show’s over – what’s next?

Block Party Exhibit at the Georgia Celebrates Quilts (all made by K-12 students)

For a solid week, I ate, slept and breathed all things quilt show. It was a highly successful, well-attended event. I was able to see quilty friends I haven’t seen in months. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of the kids who’d entered blocks in the show. I also made some contacts that may very well lead to me teaching classes closer to home and helping establish a stitching hangout spot for folks in the Smyrna/Vinings/Mableton area.

Following the show, I have to ship the blocks and swag packets that didn’t get picked up at the close of the quilt show. I’ll launder the exhibit backdrop and pack it away for the next show. I’ll add more notes to the block party chair notebook that will be turned in at our show committee wrap-up meeting in late June.

Today (Sunday after the show), I am doing absolutely nothing. Sadie and I went to the local farmer’s market and took a leisurely ride by the river before returning home. This afternoon will involve a long nap, a good book and working on a cross-stitch project. Dinner will be a nod to my childhood – breakfast for Sunday night dinner. Whether it’s me cook or Waffle House remains to be seen.!
