Get yourself a "Quilter's travel companion". I got one last year before our road trip to the west coast and back. Be sure to visit Stichin Post in Sisters, OR. Too bad you won't be there in July when they have the Sisters Oudoor Quilt Show. We missed it last year on our trip, but it sounds great. We stopped along the way. Great things to see, all along the way. And the travelers companion will tell you names, addresses, phone #'s, quilt shows, all kinds of things. Hope you have a GPS. That helped us lots!! Have fun!
