The VIP treatment

It's not every day one gets a tag that says "VIP", very important patchworker? The opening was a line up of the international guest artists and sponsors. The cameras flashed, video footage was taken and who knows how many social media sites were appeared on. It was paparazzi central, not seen in these photos as they were on the other side of the camera.

L-R Desiree Vaughn-USA, Misik Kim- S.Korea, Pat Gould-USA, Lin Hsin-Chen-Taiwan,

 Mary Pal-Canada, Sue Dennis-Australia, Rosie Chan-Singapore.

We were certainly not prepared for all the attention.

After the opening the aisles were packed with enthusiastic attendees.

Snapped again.
