after and email from a city blog friend and a massive phone call to another I am all organised for a trip to the city in June for the quilt show............it's very exciting with all the talk of Paducah Quilt Show - bad luck about the flooding causing lots of changes for them..............
ANYWAY back to the story i'm going to the Sydney Craft and Quilt show at Darling Harbour.............when I live so far away I need to get organised.................survived the nightmare of trying to work out accommodation online and now it is booked...........already have tickets to a stage show while there for me and Fairy Girl and even though it is a little under 2 months away I am excited..............the calendar is pretty much booked up til then anyway........
.......Also I know you girls who live closer don't need to get organised quite so far out so some of you probably haven't even thought about it but what do you think.......
......are you going to go?????
.......want to meet up sometime?????
.......i'm hoping to get there for a couple of days but the plan at this stage is to be there all day Friday for sure..............anyone else going to the quilt show????
I know a few girls already i'll be meeting up with........
&&&
I have only been to a couple of different craft/quilt shows and I think this one is the best......
......for you regular quilt show girls do you know how far out it is they release the workshop details.................though I may like to try and do one.

have fun chooky...haven't been therefor years!!!
How exciting Chooky. It is a wonderful show and I plan to be there on Friday and would like to try and catch up.
Where are you staying?
I have worked in a stand at the last few quilt shows in Melbourne, I understand your excitement, I can't wait to go to the Perth show.
That will be so much fun. Glad you can get the time away. Stunning photo by the way. Shame about the dryness, but it does make for great photography. Take care.
Are you off to see Mary Poppins?y ten year old and I are seeing mary Poppins and the craft show. We've been planning it for months!
Ok, I should be able to come....just need to swap work dasy. Who else is going on the Friday?
Oh Chooky - that would be sew much fun to meet some of your bloggy friends. (Like the gum nutters did in Brisbane a while back) If you are interested in workshops I suggest you go to the website of the organisers and sign up for newsletters or whatever they offer - they usually send out booklets beforehand listing all the workshops etc and there are usually pages of vouchers from some of the retailers too. Last year at the Brisbane show the scissorman gave us a vocuher for 6 rotary cutting blades for $220.
Have a great time - how many sleeps???
OMG - I am actually in Sydney for the Australian sewing guild that saturday - what are the chances ???
What stage show?? Sounds like fun all around.
Lucky you. It should be a great day. I hope you can catch up with quite a few of the girls.
What fun!! I love to go to a good quilt show...the next one in these parts is in the summer...it's a small one, but a quilt show all the same! have a great time!!
What are the dates? We are talking of a trip to Sydney maybe I can combine the both???
have fun for those of us who cant go chooky
I think I am going with Lorraine from the shop.
I am going too, it is an annual event for my Mum and me...I have booked into the Motel, have tickets to see Mary Poppins AND Hairspray..I am excited too!
I have lived in Melbourne, Sydney and now Adelaide and I have to confess that the Sydney quilt show is definately the best! Mainly because it is so big, but there are draw backs, like queues, sore feet and a melted credit card, but I am sure you will tough it out! I use to often go back for a second day, just because I couldnt take ALL the quilts in in one day AND the shops. Happy planning, the anticipation is half the fun, Sue SA.
oh all you gals are gonna have so much fun!!
Hey Chooky...I am pretty sure that I can be there Friday...would love to catch up with you.
