Hopefully they won't get washed out! Have a great time! Hope to see you at our next NW gathering (whenever it is)!

I'm looking forward to seeing what is considered "outside the box" and "artsy" as that is what I find the most challenging. I hope to learn from Joen Wolfrom. Of course there is always
shopping!

Going to Quilting in the Desert in Phoenix this year - same time as Road. Enjoy!

Sparky, you are amazing at this type of work!

Don't miss anything. It is a wonderful experience and you will love it and plan to go again and again. I am going on the first day only. I go for all 3 days every other year.

I will be going either Saturday or Sunday!!

I will be going on Thursday, via a bus trip from Palm Desert. We will leave at 8 a.m. and return about 5:30 p.m. The bus trip included the entry to the show. We went this way because we are leaving on a trip to Fresno on Friday. Last year we went all three days. Next year, we will do the same, go for three days. There is usually 7 of us that go for 3 days every other year. I live close so I go for one day to make sure they all get their pin and yardage of the year.

Woohoo! You bet. Will be there Thursday 20th and Friday the 21st. I just hit the halls and look and shop. My wings are a bit clipped due to budget constrainst but even at shows there are good deals. We one time found Hoffman Batik FQs for $1 a piece and also quilt fabric $3-4 a yard. I get a lot of ideas and inspiration. It is an energizing and inspiring experience. This is either my 5 or 6 th time. Have fun!
