Future Fat Quarterly Friends, Lords and Ladies,
It is now less than a fortnight until we meet. I so look forward to the privilege of your acquaintance. It is my one true wish to learn the ingenious method of pyjama pants construction with Dame Kerry, the ins and outs of Touchdraw with Lady Lynne, how to turn my needle and applique with Madam Mandy and finally, porthole perfection with PottyMouth Lu.
I shall depart Tuesday next aboard the Commonwealth stalwart Air Canada. I shall dine on a gluten free supper, then recline behind my tana lawn sleeping mask so as to arrive well-rested and ready for adventure on the wild streets of London. My Lady-in-Waiting Leanne awaits (because that's what ladies in waiting do, right?) to guide me around the sights and tour me through the Liberty flagship, where I believe I may just acquire a crown jewel's worth of fabric.
Things will be busy at the Palace, wot with the imminent arrival of the latest royal. I shall instead retire to the Grange Strathmore and leave the diaper changes and midnight feedings to the experts in the Palace. I say, this weekend of sewing comradery couldn't come at a better time! I've even taken the rare opportunity to "shack up", as they say. Susan and I shall reminisce about old times; walking uphill to school in knee-deep snow both ways, slugging beer in gravel pits on Friday nights, cranking Gordon Lightfoot on our tape decks and smothering flapjacks with Maple Syrup. It shall be divine.
Until then, cheerio!

One will take great delight in making your aquaitnace in person next week, we shall partake in afternoon tea and petit fours as is my usual routine ;-)
This made me chuckle! I shall get to say "Hello YourMajesty" at the touchdraw class. How will that work for Ma'am? Does one have a footman to tap the iPad screen for you? Might need to borrow him as I' a touchdraw dunce!!

Hilarious! Have fun, post lots of pictures for us, and give Claudia (machenundtun) a big hug for me!
OMG girl you crack me up!! I just know you will have an awesome time "over there" and expect "over there" will never be quite the same after you have been.
Okay may have to write down the fat quarterly parody of "over there" that is running through my head now!!
You'll have a blast....that particular " lady in waiting" did a marvelous job of navigating me about Quilt Con as I have no sense of direction. Have fun.
Hey...you are looking a little like ME!! Too funny...Have fun!!

I am very proud to serve as your lady in waiting and will certainly await you. Perhaps we should visit your castle or the Tower of London?
LOLz. Love it.
Hahahaha! How I do wish we were there at the same time. Hoping one has oneself a most marvellous time xxx
