Disappointment for Me!!!!

What a disappointment! The Quilt Expo has been canceled. At least for me. My sister called and said she just couldn't afford to go. And here I sit with the tickets for the event, hotel room and the lecture tickets. I don't want to go alone, and I don't know of anyone else that would be interested. Hopefully I can get a refund for the tickets, and I already cancelled the hotel rooms.
I am so upset, and so sad. We go every year. But the ecomony effects us all I guess.

So now I have this free weekend in my future. Hmm, maybe it will be a sewing weekend for me. I have alot I need to get done before the end of October.
My daughter is having surgery at the end of October, and I will move in with them for a couple of months to help out with the recovery and her family.
So maybe having this weekend to sew sew sew is a blessing in disguise.

But I am still sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quilt Expo

Yes it is that time again!!!!!!!!!!! The Madison Quilt Expo. I got my tickets, I got my hotel room, and I got the time off of work. All set! And my sister is going with me for the weekend naturally!!
So excited to go and see all the vendors. I have scheduled myself for some lectures as well. Hoping to learn some new things. And I am sure I will probably be bringing home way too many items that I have to find room and the time for.
Still working on this t-shirt quilt, and so far no end in site. I spend a few minutes sometimes in the evening on it and should be devoting more time to it so it can get done.
My daughter has asked for three things to be sewed and that adds more to my to do list. I need to complete four jackets in time for christmas and now trying to put together another quilt quickly before christmas as well. Again, my mind says I can do it, but it's my time that seems to argue the point.
