Amy's Coming and We've Got Tickets!
November 10, 2008
Amy Butler is coming to Australia, and yes, to Melbourne! We (being me, Rosie, Melly, Melinda, and Gail) are all just so excited and so filled with questions. Text messages have been flying through the air waves. Messages with questions like "Do I wear something I've designed using Amy's fabrics, like a bag?":
Do we wear clothes we've made using Amy's fabrics?"
"Is that tacky?"
Questions like "How much weight can I lose before Thursday?" Oh yes, we are one excited bunch of girls I can tell you. The babysitters are organsied and we are ready to go!
It's a good thing that I'm frantically getting ready for Australian Quilt Market and had fully intended a few nights working well into the wee hours this week - because I am so excited that I won't sleep anyway!

P.S. These two designs are from my 'Romancing The Road Trip' book. The wooden handled bag pattern is also free right here on my blog, just scroll down the left hand column to 'Free Pattern'.
have a great time out with the girls........

Have a great time and take lots of pictures. I think that it would be very nice to carry a bag made in her fabric. I am sure that she would love to see it.

Hey Leanne! How girly is that - and don't we all do it! Wedding to go to - what are you wearing?! Party to go to - what are you wearing?! Meeting the queen - what are you wearing?! The world is invaded by aliens - what are you wearing?! Tee! Hee! Hee! Whatever you wear, I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time - provided you can stay away after not sleeping for four days due to excitement! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS

Meeting Amy is exciting. I met her a couple of months ago. And YES, I designed and made a bag using her fabric to take with me. :o) She noticed it and loved it.

I have to agree with Jo in Tas. I would be that excited if I got to see any of you girls up here in Queensland. I would pay for tickets to that. But I am excited for you all too to be seeing Amy Butler, have a great time y'all. lol. D. :=)
