It’s that time of the year again!Today we set up the stand at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham, UK . Festival of Quilts 2011 opens tomorrow at 10 am,  ready or not!

We loaded the van this morning and headed down the highway to set up the show. There are so many bits and pieces required to make sure everything looks as good as it possibly can.This is what we start with….

and after several hours of hard work and a bit of trial and error  about what should go where this is what it looks like.

The stand is almost  finished  just a few little touch ups in the morning and we will be ready to go.  While we working hard all day some were back at home taking it easy,  Linda’s cat Toby has mastered the art of relaxation!

talk to you after the show,  Catherine
