October 20, 2012 summiting all over the place wow! sewing summit was insane. and lovely. and overwhelming. i met somewhere around a zillion awesome people, took some classes, ate a lot, talked about embroidery, listened to lectures, and even managed to fit in a little sleep. and wouldn't you know... i captured most of it on instagram (@imaginegnats). here are my recommendations for successful summiting... ack very late the night before you leave. shove everything handmade that you own in your suitcase, as well as lots of embroidery hoops. ok, the hoops are only necessary if your silly self volunteered  to teach two impromptu embroidery classes while summiting. (more on that soon) leave your house early enough in the morning that you can't even find coffee until you get to the airport, book a flight with a very long layover at an airport with questionable wifi, and when you can't stop sniffling (stupid allergies), buy extra tissues and remember that chocolate solves anything. what else? you might want to remember to take a pic of yourself with your BSF, Allegory of {sew} Allegorical ... you know, that person that kept you sane when all of the sewing and people and excitement got to be a bit much. and eventually you should troll the internet for pictures on others' summit posts that you want to steal reappropriate for your own use. Wow - what a fabulous time you have had. How wonderful to meet in person those you have cyber talked to. I'm sooo envious! Glad you managed to fit in some stitching, sewing and other crafty stuff.
