On the road again . . .

I'm leaving the family behind and meeting up with some friends for a week of sewing, shopping and fun in California.  There should be a 50 degree difference in the temperature from where I live to where I'm going, that alone is worth the trip.

I've got my sewing machine all packed and ready to go.  



(for more information about this machine case click here)

While in California I also plan to attend the Road to California Quilt Show.

If you plan on attending the show, and are familiar with my blog, you may recognize a couple of quilts in the show; 


Lifetime Quilt Number 62



quilted by Judi Madsen, aka The Green Fairy.

and Lifetime Quilt Number 73, my Red and White Tribute Quilt



quilted by Connie Lancaster at Quilts Plus in Indiapolis, IN.

This is the end of the road as far as shows go for these quilts, once they're back home they'll be on a bed or on a quilt rack with the rest of my quilts. 

I'm as confused as most of you as to where to go next with my 100th quilt project, it's not shaping up at all like I thought, a break will do me good.

No blogging for me the rest of this week, but I'm sure I'll have a lot to talk about next week!
