Quilt Market - set up day

The first day of set up is, more or less, organized chaos! When you see the blank canvas that everyone starts with, it's hard to believe that all the booths can be transformed into beautiful works of art. Here are Sue and Nancy working hard. Where's Anne? Hmmm.

Actually, we like her to stay away during set up. That way we can just do OUR jobs. Hers comes later when the shop owners all want to meet her. We then stay in the background and let her bask in her glory. But for now....SHE'S in the background. LOL

I only took a few pictures because I was working so hard...hear that Anne? She took alot, so head on over to her blog to see more.

Anyway, here are some "before" shots. I'll get the "after" shots for you tomorrow when all the booths are decorated and everyone is ready to go .

I have no idea what booth this is or what this is going to end up looking like. I'll be sure and get an "after" shot for you and maybe some info.

This is Dunroven's booth. Beautiful towels all lined up and color coordinated. Makes you want to buy some, huh?

Until tomorrow.....Anne

Leaving (oops, left) on a jet plane

I got up at O Dark Thirty this morning to catch my 6am flight out of Bend. Am now sitting in the San Francisco airport waiting for my connecting flight to Houston...in THREE hours! Just thought I'd chronicle my day for you. (since I have nothing else to do, LOL).

Beautiful flying weather...that's a good thing.

Do you see the temp for Houston? Now...tell me, how do you dress for 87 degrees when you've just left home with snow still on the ground. Layers, I guess.

Well, I'll keep you posted on the goings on at Quilt Market, but I bet Anne has a race to beat me to it. I can just see us now pushing each other out of the way when we see a "Kodak moment" just to get first blogging rights! Oh what we will do for our bloggy friends. LOL

Catch ya later!
