Paducah -- Ready or Not, Here I Come!

Toward the end of last year I thought I should go to Paducah.  Non-quilters first ask, "Where's that?" and then, "Why are you going to Kentucky?"  How does everyone not know that Paducah is the Mecca of the quilt world?  It is my turn to go on a pilgramage to Mecca. 

 

Planning the trip was a little more difficult than I thought.  First, in order to make the trip, my family needed to come.  (Can't be gone that long from tiny ones.)  So the first of the year my husband got the time off.  Then we found out that vendors aren't usually accepted the first year they ask because so many want to be vendors. 

My husband kept the dates open, but the trip was off.  Then there was a cancellation.  Yippee!!!  The trip was on again.  But with the trip off, lots of other stuff was happening.  Suddenly I am leaving tomorrow.  Ahhh!  Not ready.  Not ready.  Not ready. . . .

Quilts -- check.  Some aren't bound yet, but I thought you would like to see new ones anyway!

Signs -- check.  And they are cute.  Yeah!

Rubber bands -- check.  Why rubber bands?  It is just something that you always need for some reason, like pins and scissors.

Books -- check, almost.  Gotta get them packed still.

Clothes -- still in the closet.

Project A -- postponed.

Project B -- half done, postponed.

Project C -- crossing my fingers it doesn't need to be done yet.

House clean -- not gonna happen.

Sanity -- it's in Mecca.  I have faith I will find it there.

I know there are a few questions that need to be answered, so here are the answers.  I will leave the questions to you:

• We are driving.  Yes, the whole family. 
• Booth 4518 in the pavillion.  Please come and say hi!
• and last, but not least -- the post for block 5 was just scheduled, so it will appear as it should.  (I even scheduled it for 1:00 a.m. for you early birds or early time zoners.)
