Inundated

I think that we (I) may have had a few mad moments as fabric keeps being delivered and an emergency trip was needed to Ikea to get another Billy bookcase to put it in - Joan rang me when she was in the shop on her own saying that boxes were being delivered and what were we going to do with it, also asking what had I ordered now!!  Oops

Just got the shop sorted when another delivery arrived on the Friday. I  came in on Saturday to find more fabric still wrapped in plastic, which there is no room for on the shelves, so we now have decorative groupings leaning against the shelf units. 

In March we have yet more fabric arriving in time for the Quilt show in Exeter so you may not be able to get in the shop towards the end of the month.

Sunday I went to the NEC for the trade show - unfortunately Joan could not go so I took my husband.  Last year Joan and I went and I managed to spend the first hour wandering round the show with the zip of my trousers undone (mortifying -  I wondered why people were looking at me when we were walking towards the hall after calling into the loo) and only realised when talking to a young lad who worked for Panduro, anyway that poor lad, and indeed Panduro were not at the show this year so he/they are probably still recovering.  This year I was happily looking around the show with my husband in tow who half way through the visit told me to stop putting my glasses on my head as I was showing my roots!!!   I still managed to spend some money, and ordered 17 rolls of shot fabric, and about 15 rolls of ribbon, and oh yes some red, white and blue buttons for the royal wedding (haven`t told Joan yet!) 

This morning as we turned up to work and a Fedex man was loitering at the shop door waiting to deliver the 17 rolls of fabric, plus another 17 rolls which I didn`t order.  Unfortunately Joan was there, she refused to go to her class until she had seen who the delivery was from, the 17 rolls were okay but the others had to go back!

Sorry once again we have no photographs, so our new resolution is to take more photographs - we promise!
