Where does time go? Today
is Wednesday and the show opens in a couple of hours. Let me catch you up on the last couple of
days.
Monday we traveled to Lancaster, with a stop in Chicago so
they could pick up an 18 wheeler laying across all the east bound lanes. Picking up the wreck turned the whole road in
to a parking lot for several hours.
Finally got to an exit and we detoured around the wreck. Downtown Gary, IN is not my favorite
place. Then it was off to Richmond IN to
visit with a vendor who supplies us with mat material.
We left home at 4:30 Am and it was now noon and it has not
stopped raining. In fact the entire
drive was in the rain. We should be
thankful that the weather was in the 50’s.
It could have all been snow. We accept
our blessings for the little things in life.
We finally arrive at midnight. Checked
in, and got a short 6 hours of sleep.
Set up went very smooth.
But as most of you already know, the Host Hotel is not available for us
for the next three years. In fact for
the next several year many of the hotels in Lancaster are tied up with events
not associated with quilting at the same time we will be here. So we are seeking a new home in
Lancaster. We believe we have found a
new location but we have not signed a contract, so it is not in the bag.
Met with some local leaders we will be working with next
year. We will be making an announcement
about that shortly. But today the show
opens. The quilts are great, the vendors
are ready and don’t forget Friday evening for our Gallery Tour with the
Curators.
