> We took in quilts from 9 till 3 and had 169 quilts. I entered all the

> couldn't remove the paperwork from the quilt. Got done entering all that

> I spent all day Sunday ( my birthday!) merging the information into a Word
> document, and cutting and pasting it into a Publisher document because
> that's what the printer people insist on.
> Had it to the printers by noon on Monday (that was the stress part). They
> finished the booklet at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon.
> Judging was on Thursday afternoon and Friday. I got to sit in and scribe

> We set up for the quilt show all day Friday - one of my favorite days of
> the year. I get to handle every quilt because I do the hang tags and
> insist on placing them myself.
> Our show started at 9 this morning and I was at the auditorium at 7. I
> finally left at 4. I found the show chair and said, "I'm tired and going
> home. I know everyone else is tired too, but my give-a-damner is broke,
> so I'm leaving."
> The show also runs tomorrow from 1 - 4, but there are plenty of people to
> help, so I won't be going in.
> We had a dozen vendors and I did my part to make sure they come back.
> Bought a couple of kits, some fabric from a woman who owns Nana's
> Pretties. She travels the quilt show circuit - she's from Oregon. We kept
> asking her via email when she said she'd like to come - you do know we are
> in Pittsburg KANSAS, right? People get confused. I bought one of those
> magnetic pincushions that somehow straightens all your pins so they lay
> across the little ditch and are easy to pick up. Bought a bunch of hand
> dyed fabric. Couple of books.
> Came home, ate, and slept for 3 hours. Waiting for my pills to kick in so
> I can go back to sleep and I am going to play all day tomorrow.
