What a great time we had....of course it was a working trip but we all get a long so well and laugh so much that we hurt sometimes.
Once the stand was ready and the show was under way we were all more relaxed. We had many International visitors to the APQS stand...Linzi, Ani, and I along with Lilly LaPink (our sidekick who is such a great help on the sales table and tea trolley that we just couldn't manage without her), and Ellen helped out too. We were kept very busy demonstrating the machines. We did a bit of 'Swanning off' every now and then to see who was milling around through in the main quilt show area. As usual we searched out the best food available in the area and had a 'Brummy Curry', visited the 'Middle of England' pub and had a Carvery on two evenings. Believe me we would never go hungry along with full english breakfasts at our hotel I have to say at times we were a little stuffed....
Our Quilt show entries were very well received, Linzi won 2 x 1st prizes and a Judges choice
My Inner Circle - Flower of Scotland won a Highly Commended, I think may be two HC's are awarded per category rather like an Honourable Mention.....
My little shelf is starting to groan with the weight of all the silverware and rosettes etc. It's time to box up the perpetual cup from the Scottish Quilt Championships 2012....I'm afraid it needs to go back to Grosvenor Shows so that they can have it engraved with my name before it goes off to the next lucky recipient in September. It's been a fun year.....I wonder what comes next?
