Birmingham Bound!

map_of_england
As this posts my Quiltville travelers and I are flying in from all directions to meet up at JFK airport in New York to board our overnight flight to Birmingham, via Dublin!

I LOVE Ireland, and can�t wait to go back in 2020 (Such a long way off!) and I wish there was a long enough layover that we could go out of the airport and explore a bit, but there isn�t.

It will make me just long for June 2020 all the more.

Anyone want to go with me? Click the Ireland tab at the top of the blog for more info.

We are doing our England itinerary just a bit backwards from last time � where we first landed in London (Find it on the map in the southeast�) This time we are going straight to birmingham, somewhere toward the middle and closer to Wales. The Festival of Quilts awaits!

I�ll be joining up with Irene in Atlanta � we have the same flight to JFK from there. It�s going to be a freaking long day.

I just wanted to give a heads up on a couple of things as I head out of town. I haven�t had time to really schedule blog posts ahead of time.

Posts may be sporadic and at weird times due to the time change I�ll be in.

I also don�t know about hotel wifi and if it will be any good, so if we miss a few days, we will just play catch up when I get home.

Veterans Remembered, and Veterans Day Observed.

This is my lovely Grandmother - Mary Margaret Malcolmson Wilkinson Buckbee. While yesterday, November 11th, 2018 was the traditional day for Veterans Day, Veterans Day is observed as a state and federal holiday in 2018 TODAY Monday, Nov. 12th this year. A federal holiday means that local, county, state and federal offices and agencies are closed. Which includes the Post Office � but not Quiltville! Yesterday was a busy travel day for me, on the way to the Indianapolis airport by 7am, making my connection in Atlanta and home by early afternoon. It didn�t give me much chance to write a veteran�s memorial post the way I wanted to, so like the federal agencies mentioned above, I�m observing TODAY and keeping these folks in my thoughts. While not a typical veteran herself, my grandmother was raising small children while her husband, my grandfather was in the US Navy. This picture was taken in 1943 when grandpa was serving as a Naval Officer in the South Pacific. She occasionally earned m...

Indy Show & Share, and a String Frenzy Winner!

As seen in Houston!! An On Ringo Lake Mini! Made by Inna Rohrberg from Germany. This has me so blown away, and I want to thank those who have sent photos from Houston while I was in Indiana! It�s one thing to take the time to make a big quilt, but the painstaking business of redrafting that big quilt down to mini and piecing it? WOW! Inna, I love your quilt � it is perfect in every way!

A Box Kite Retreat Day to Play!

Image
So many Box Kite Blocks! The quilters started arriving early! By 7:30 am they were pulling in, anxious to set up their work stations and getting ready for our Box Kite workshop from the Addicted to Scraps book that would fill our afternoon with abundant scrappy fun! And if they happened to find there was not quite enough variety in the stash they brought, they could easily dive into this and come up with something interesting to add to their mix: Did You Click to Read the Whole Story?
