Today we are doing the last of the packing of my van for the drive to Pennsylvania. Kate will meet me Monday evening so we can vend at the brand new AQS Show in Lancaster. It is exciting and we like the area; Kate and I have a favorite shop or two, if I can remember how to get there. That is what the new GPS is for.
John leaves Tuesday for a guild show and class in Illinois. He is scheduled to lecture twice; we just helped him sort through his quilts and I can tell he is looking forward to it. When you think how much time goes in to selecting fabric, piecing and then quilting, it really is true that each quilt has a story. Hours and hours of a quilter's life are wrapped up in the quilts and I suppose that is why Show and Tell is so much fun for both the teller and for the listeners.
A lot of quilt activity went on last weekend; there were bits of thread all over the house by Sunday night! The Supernova wall hanging is a class sample for Illinois, bright and black, and not for beginners. We have had the Imperial Compass pieced and waiting to be quilted for at least a year so I am so happy John had time to quilt it for the show in Lancaster. We will hang it in the booth and the pre-cut kits are ready; I think this kit will be pretty popular.
Well, spring is always an adventure. When John had his construction business, March was just the most worrisome month. The crews were always itching to get to work, but there was ice and mud and bad weather and lots of nerves. Now we don't have equipment to dig out of the mud or forms ruined by ice and cold and it is great to be able to enjoy early spring with all its variations. I hope flooding rivers aren't part of your spring, though, wherever you are.
