Back from the AQS show.......


I am back from the AQS show in Lancaster, PA, and had a super-wonderful time. I will tell bits and pieces about the trip over the next few posts.....and will post some photos, too. I will just put one photo here today. Many of you will recognize this is Eleanor Burns (the Quilt in a Day maven). I attended her lecture and she was beyond funny. As she, herself, said afterwards when we spoke to her in the lobby, she is "out of control"......but in a good way, in the opinion of all of us who attended her lecture. (I am sure some in the audience were wishing they were wearing Depends during her talk as we laughed so hard our sides ached and tears were practically running down our cheeks!) This photo shows her a half hour before the lecture began....spending her brief dinner break (between lectures) talking to us and taking audience questions. If you ever get the chance to hear her speak, DO IT. You will not be disappointed. As for other "business", I may never catch up on your blogs after not having internet access for 3 days........so I'm sorry about that.....LOL And....if you have not yet taken part in the "Good Eggs Bunny Hop", please go back and read my March 24 post. This fun event ends tomorrow.

Welcome back. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures.

As for me, I haven't been a very good blogger the past few days, either. I'm too busy staying up all night and then trying to recover the next day. Good thing we're now on March break!

Eleanor is great. I sat in on a lecture a few years back......don't worry about catching up....Eleanor trumps blogging any day....LOL

I love Eleanor Burns. She is so funny and warm too. I had the privilage of dancing on the same dance floor with Eleanor and Orion....what a hoot. A wonderful memory.

Quilt In A Day sent some wonderful things to be given away in the 30 Days of Giveaways on my blog. Oh....those will be fun to post.

So glad you had fun Pat.

Smiles,
Kelly
