The 2nd day is completed at the (I am ready to go to bed after sending the follow-up emails). I am very happy to meet you (Sashiko) stitching friends, and reuniting stitching friends from my first Quiltcon. 2 years ago, I knew only a few people when I visited the QuiltCon. This year, many friends stopped by the room and shared their wonderful achievements (I can’t believe I forgot to take the photos with them. Well, I was in before/between the workshop… ). One picture with @benmillett , with the Jacket I couldn’t ask him to take a photo with. This year again! To be honest, I would never have imagined having many friends via stitching. I sincerely thank QuiltCon for making it happen.

One more day to go. Since my workshop is between 9am to 4:30, and I do not take lunch break, I have not been able to enjoy the QuiltShow itself. After clearing the workshop room, I do not have enough energy to walk around. I would like to try to be in the Exhibition tomorrow, 2/19 after the workshop, even a little bit. And then, on Sunday, again a little bit before my flight. It is a great honor to be here at QuiltCon, and I will spend another night preparing for the last workshop.

つーかーれーるー。目の下の窪みが物語っております。ワークショップ後はそれくらい精魂尽き果てるのです。それでも2回目のキルトコンへの参加。 1回目の2020年は、ほんの数人を除いて初めて出会う方ばかりで、また全てが初めての経験でした。前回ご縁を頂いた方々が、わざわざ会いにきてくれる。これほど嬉しいことはありません。僕はまだキルティングの人間ではないですが、こうやって徐々に居場所が作れたらなと思うのです。

日曜日の夜のお散歩（迷子）配信ですが、よく考えると時差が16時間あることに気がつきました。なので、できるだけ早く起きて、こちらの朝の6時半頃（日本時間の22時半頃）に誰もいない感じの街並みを歩けたらと思っています。疲れ具合によってはほんの少しになっちゃうかもだけど。残り1日。全てを出し切ってきます！

疲労感半端無いですね
お散歩配信楽しみにしています
I’ll need to sign up for a class with you next time!
😍
Oh Atsushi!!!!!! I am too much of a chicken 🐓 💩 to fly and I am missing it all. 😢 Next year(?)
Your class today was wonderful! Such a great teacher… and so patient…with a focus on learning rhythm and enjoying the process
Do try to see a little bit of the show. And please eat
Love your jacket!
When I did trade shows, I also was so drained from being in one place for so long, but the other exhibitors had very inspiring booth and product designs. So, I walked the floor before the public hours started. I hate to think of you losing out on seeing all the talent in the convention!
So glad that it’s going well! I hope you did get some rest and time to enjoy the show. And I hope you’ll be able to visit us in NYC again soon!
Most people don’t understand the energy it takes to teach full time at a show like Quiltcon! Thank you for sharing your expertise. Rest up!
