Grapevine, Texas - January 10, 2009

We left for Texas on January 6th in the middle of an ice storm. It was treacherous driving until we crossed the Ohio River and then it just rained the rest of the day. We enjoyed the rest of our trip and were so happy to see our Texas friends. One of our friends we were happiest to see was Stacy.

Stacy had fun doing our make and take at Grapevine.

Here's what Riley does all day long while we're busy at the shows. She is a great traveler and waits patiently for us to get back to her.

An Early Snowfall - October 28, 2008

What a beautiful surprise on our trip home! The snow covered the autumn colors and just looked amazing. Fortunately, the roads were clear so driving wasn't a problem.

Hampton, VA Show - October 26, 2008

Our last show of 2008 was in Hampton, VA.

Jennifer helped us again working at our make and take table.
Great job, Jennifer!

What a beautiful drive home through north-western Virginia and West Virginia!

Appomattox Court House - October 22, 2008

As we continued on Route 460 in Virginia we passed Appomattox Court House and stopped for a couple of hours. The weather was perfect.

National D-Day Memorial - October 21, 2008

We were traveling on Route 460 from Chattanooga to Hampton, VA and as we passed through Bedford, VA we saw the signs for the National D-Day Memorial. It is very impressive. If you ever get close to the memorial, be sure to stop and spend some time there.

Cleveland, OH Show - October 11, 2008

On October 11, we had a show in Cleveland, OH. Donna has helped us at the Akron and Cleveland shows for several years and we really appreciate her.

Donna was busy helping people with their make and take projects and answering questions.

Rhinebeck, NY and Westmister, MD - September 2008

I see I'm very far behind in posting to this blog again. We've had five shows in the last six weeks, so actually I'm pretty far behind in everything!

On September 20 and 21 we were in Rhinebeck, NY for a show at the fairgrounds. Suzie worked with us at our make and take table and we had a great time with our NY friends and customers.

Suzie was helping the stampers with their make and take projects.

We left Rhinebeck on Monday and traveled to Lancaster County, PA to spend a few days between the shows. I love Lancaster County and the:

Quilt Shops...

Awesome, beautiful quilts...

I love this heart rag quilt!

The covered bridges...

The Amish buggies...

Oh, yeah...did I mention the quilt shops?

This is my favorite fabric shop. It's very large with tons of fabric!

The Quilt & Fabric Shack in Bird-in-Hand, PA on Old Philadelphia Pike.

The train rides through the countryside are very relaxing.

After a few days of resting and shopping in the country, we headed down to Westminster, MD for our show on September 27 and 28.

JP did our make and take in Westminster.

After the show, we headed home. The leaves were just starting to turn in Southern Pennsylvania and were beautiful.
