I’m home from my trip to Ohio for the SAQA Conference and the opening of Quilt National. It was a wonderful experience and I feel like I learned a lot and met lots of new people. First and foremost, Robin who took us up on the space that Del was unable to use this year. Robin was a great roommate and companion for the time in Athens and we found we had much in common.<\/p>\n

I drove the approximately 800 miles by myself but I had a great recorded book, “Sweetwater Creek” by Anne Rivers Siddons that I highly recommend. It had a good plot and enough suspense to keep me awake and interested which is more than I can say for “The Believer” by Nicholas Sparks that I tried to listen to on the way home. It had a predictable plot, characters and dialog – and I expect, ending, if I ever get that far. I had to go to PBS instead.<\/p>\n

The weather going, and throughout the conference was about as perfect as it could be. Some of the scenery was quite gorgeous, like these fields of dense yellow. Is it a crop or just weeds? I do not know but I can see it in a quilt for sure!

This is the early morning view from our hotel room; you’re just missing the lovely sound of the birds greeting the day. Of course they started greeting the day at 4:30 AM! Those “distant” trees are not so far away, that’s mist and fog creating a lovely atmosphere.

I came home to backed up orders that will go out today so if you are waiting, know that your patterns are on the way. Two quilts need to be packed and shipped and there is so much e-mail to catch up on. Perhaps I will tell you about the conference another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
