White Threads

getting ready for the craft and quilt fair

Thank you to all who have already signed up for The Embroiderer’s Companion Stitch Dictionary waitlist. There’s been a great response already, which is really encouraging. Please don’t forget to tell your friends about it so that they can also sign up!

For me, this week will be all about getting ready for next week’s Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. I’ve got to make sure that I have all the stock ready, doing last minute stock orders, chasing up back ordered stock, organising last minute printing, and generally collecting everything together in a way that I can get there next Tuesday and set up as quickly as possible.

In the midst of all that organisation, there are some fun things to do like making sure that the stand will look pretty, and be a fun environment to be in. If I could think of a way of having Portuguese custard tarts for every visitor to my stand, I would, but unfortunately there’s just one of me so I don’t think that will be possible! Instead you’ll just have to settle for drinking in the beauty of the Portuguese whitework on display. 🙂

The show will be on at the Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre from next Wednesday (13th June) until the Sunday (17th June). This is easily the best craft show in Sydney each year, with a great range of exhibitors, great workshops and classes, and of course, ME! So come along, and visit me and see all that lovely Portuguese whitework for yourself!

I’ll be waiting for you at the Vetty Creations stand, Stand L42, which is near the entrance to the quilt show, just a little further down the aisle towards the back of the exhibition hall.

    I will try to remember! I can only take photos of my own stand – anything else is forbidden by the show organisers.
