On Friday Mom, Linda (my SIL) and Johnna (my niece) are leaving for Minnesota to go visit Aunt Nancy! Can't wait to get there! We have changed our plans about a hundred times but hopefully we are set now. Hubby is staying home to hold down the fort (and take care of all of the fluffies) - he's not interested in our girl trip. I am hoping to stop at Country Threads on the way there. Linda is not a quilter but I have taught her to fondle fabric and I think she will like the setting of Country Threads with all the little buildings and animals. While we are in Minnesota I will be doing a trunk show for Aunt Nancy's quilt guild. I am having a heck of a time deciding what quilts to take. I am packing them in the biggest suitcase I have and it's not big enough! I need to get that figured out today. Aunt Nancy told me to shove them all in there and sit on it - and it seems that Callie is trying to help with that.
I better get busy - I have a million things to do before we leave, and when we get back I will be home for one day and will turn around and go to the rescheduled show in Galena! Don't forget - if you are in the area, please come! The dates are August 20th (our anniversary!) and 21st.
Have a great day!
Have fun!! A girl trip should be a good time.
ReplyDeleteHope you get all the quilts packed! Maybe with more help from Callie you'll be able to do that. Hope you have fun on your trip! Wish I was visiting Country Threads with you. I just ordered something from them and would love to see their shop! Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip. I know the guild will enjoy your trunk show.
ReplyDeleteI am happy today the weather is great and I was working in my garden. Enjoy your show and have fun, lots of good places for you to be at.
ReplyDeleteCountry Threads sounds like a really great place! Wish I was closer.
ReplyDeleteSomeday I hope you will post photos of the quilts that make up the trunk show you are doing. Maybe you have in the past, but I am relatively new to your blog.
Yay for a cool-off, Julie! You girls are going to hafe so much fun! I can't tell you how many pictures we have of Sophie sitting in our suitcase as we get ready to pack! I think they have a 6th sense about you leaving for sure!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Have a great trip, Julie!! Sounds like fun - always good to mix pleasure with business! Poor, poor, Callie....better double check that suitcase before you actually snap it shut! Safe travels! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteJulie, have a good time. I hope you find lots of goodies. I also hope Callie isn't too mean to Ozzie. LOL Actually, Ozzie looks like he can take care of himself. LOL Oh, I found the Frixion pens at Office Max. They were a brand new item for them to carry. I literally picked up a package as the girl was unpacking them. (grin) I haven't tried them, yet, though. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip! It sounds like so much fun. What is it with cats and suitcases? Ours do the same thing. ~Ann
ReplyDeleteTracel safe - hope you have much success at your shows.
