So I am Tacha (spelt and pronounced however you would like, I am really not that fussy!). I will likely be wearing jeans and a t-shirt as I am not as fashionable as the glamorous Katy. I will also be wearing glasses like Katy and Lynne, which are slightly broken but I never seem to get round to fixing them, much to my husband's dispair.
I'm 36 and have been sewing for a while now. Probably about 10 years. I really caught the quilting bug when I was living in North Carolina. I was studying in the university in the evenings so to fill up the days I sewed away to my heart's content. I didn't realise then how lucky I was to live nearby one of the largest fabric stores I have ever been in. I could rock up and pick up pretty much any colour print my heart desired. If only I had none how lucky I was - I'd have stuffed our shipping container to the brim with fabric. I'm coming over from Berlin to London so I was worried by how much I could bring with me. In the end I decided to bring my two girls and husband and drop them off at my parents house for the weekend. Now I get to use their baggage allowance too! Yay! Lots more room for quilts and fabric. I am sure they'll only need a toothbrush and change of knickers. My Mum does have a washing machine after all!
I will be sporting the fabulous name badge made by Di and bringing the badge I have made for my partner (so sorry it is late!). And I can't wait to sit down with a few of you for a bit of EPP. I've already packed my sewing bag and I'm ready to go! See you all soon!

Sadly I am not as tall skinny and fabulously glamorous as Katy but then I don't think most people are. Can't wait to meet you next weekend, I'm near hysterical with excitement about the whole thing now.

Look forward to seeing you there: although I may put a paper bag over my head so that you don't recognise me as the idiot with the supplies list!!

So looking forward to meeting you Tacha, and good thinking on the baggage allowance!

Looking forward to meeting you. And think it was a brilliant move on your part to bring the whole family to up the luggage allowance. Probably cheaper that way than paying excess charges!

shrewd move! Really looking forward to meeting the FQ team (I may make a fool of myself!)
