I’ve been on the road a lot recently. I started this journey with a guild outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in what I am doing I forget to take photos. That does not mean I did not have an excellent time while I was there. As a matter of fact, just the opposite. I loved working with Charlotte and Ona at the Cabarrus Quilt Guild. To find out more about the guild visit http://www.cabarrusquiltersguild.org/About_Us.html
Absolutely loved my time with these ladies.
Two ladies from the guild volunteered to drive me from their location to my next destination…Calla Lily Quilt Shop in Greensboro, North Carolina. The employees in the shop were awesome and a big help to me when setting up, etc.
While at the shop, Anne came by to share her in-progress “Circular Garden” quilt top. She started in my class this past summer. Looking good Anne.
I went home for a very short time….less than 24 hours…then drove to the Lebanon Quilters Guild in Lebanon, PA. To find out more about the guild visit their website http://lebanonquiltersguild.com/. If this guild was just a little closer to me I would definitely join this group.
While I was there, three different members shared projects. First was Myrna Todd. She took my Majestic Mosaic class this past summer and she beautifully hand quilted her piece.
Pauline shared her “Garden Medley” project which she very nicely hand quilted. Check out her ribbon!!
And then, Jolynn shared her “Ocean Sunrise” project which she had nicely machine quilted.
During my short time home…just 2 days….I was sick and in bed most of the time. Good thing I was mostly sick during my down days. Next up, we drove to Schenectady, New York. If you live in this area, you can obtain more information about the guild by visiting http://quiltschenectady.org/
The views were heavenly from the First Reformed Church of Scotia where they held their meeting.
It rained very hard all day, hence the rain drops on the windows. The sun came out and the views were fabulous early evening. How nice of the weather to cooperate while we had to unload the car to bring quilts and goodies into the guild meeting.
I’m off again this week to State College, Wind Gap and then Paducah. Maybe I will see you some place along the way.

BOOK REVIEW
I just finished reading “Find Her” by Lisa Gardner. I could not put this book down. I was sucked in from page one. This is, I think, the 8th in the series with Detective D. D. Warren as the lead character. You do not need to read the previous books to get into this one. The book starts with Flora, a fun loving college student who was on spring break, locked in a pine wood box. She explains how it feels to be left inside the box where she cannot move her arms over her head, bend her legs, how hard the wood is on the back of her head…..like the pine box was built just for her……. After 472 days Flora escapes. And the story begins. Do I have your attention?
