Yes, I´m still on this earth. I´m sorry about the absence but I needed some down time after the whirlwind of quilt market. I have got lots of things to show you from the show so I think I might break it down into two posts.
I had great help setting up the booth, my parents were in town so my all star carpenter dad helped putting molding on the walls and he even built the fireplace in my booth for me!
Here are some pictures of the booth...my camera went dead after these were shot and no charger in the bag so I didn´t get any photo´s of other people´s booths!
On Thursday I had 2 Schoolhouse sessions and Thursday night was Sample Spree. I recruited my husband and son Atli to help out with both and of course I tried as hard as I could to embarrass my 17 year old. They were my quilt holders and had to walk the runway... (excuse the bad photos....they are priceless though!!)
And they had to wear Easter egg ornaments on their ears!!
Also some Christmas ornaments...walking the runway...
The grand finally was to wear the tree skirt as a cape!!
Kid embarassed??....Mission accomplished!! ....at least I thought so until he was bragging about his first quilt market encounter to his friends later...
More Quilt Market tomorrow!!
I just came here from Kate's blog. I love the stockings!!! and must get your book for a display we are working on with 12 Days of Christmas. The pics of your son are truly priceless. Today I have one of my son dancing with a bolt of fabric he was unloading. He will just die when he sees it on our blog. How great that we have these teens involved though. So nice to meet you

Thanks for all the pictures of your booth. It was very sweet. And all your projects showed off extremely well. Makes me antsy to get the book! You've got a lovely family. And how wonderful to have your parents there to help out. Had they ever been to a quilt market before? I'll bet they thought yours was the best!

Your son reminds me of mine, he would do that runway thing and love every minute of it.He would also charm all the ladies, just like yous did I'm sure. :^)

Þórir og Atli verða komnir í quilt jakka áður en þú veist af :-)
Gaman að sjá hversu vel þetta gengur hjá þér Guðrún mín og magnað að ná allri fjölskyldunni í þetta með þér. Þetta hefur verið alveg geggjaður bás hjá þér og flottir litir í verkefnunum þínum.
Bestu kveðjur frá frændfólkinu hér
