I had a wonderful day at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair yesterday. Thankfully the stand light that was missing from the stand had been put up in the intervening time since I finished setting up.
The traffic was pretty good all day, and lots of people came to visit me. I had some lovely needleworky conversations. Many people took “Portuguese Whitework” home in their bags with them, and many more oohed and aahed at the display of the Portuguese whitework on the wall.
One of the things I love about shows is the people who tell me how much they appreciate my books. One lady called “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” “The Left-Handed Survival Guide”! Hearing people’s gratitude for my books makes it feel very worthwhile. And I do enjoy surprising people who haven’t seen me or my books before, when they realise that *I* wrote the six books displayed in front of them!
Thanks to the lovely ladies who read this blog who introduced themselves to me yesterday. It was great to put names with faces!
I had fun, and will be back again for more fun today.
