A big hi y’all from sunny Kentucky!
Wendy and I began our adventure this morning
and for the first time we traveled to Paducah via Chicago so we could make a stop at Troy Fabric’s Fabriganza. Troy is a fabric manufacturer and distributor and this weekend they were hosting a big warehouse sale. There were shelves and tables full of beautiful bolts of fabric.
Wendy shopped for the kits for her “Block of the Month” at Frank’s Sewing Center in Waukesha.
Then a nice man helped us load the bolts into an already full van.
As evening neared we knew we were getting close when we crossed over the river from Illinois to Kentucky via the “Flying Geese” bridges. Here we’re approaching them.
And here the geese are flying overhead.
Upon arrival we hoofed all our things up 25 stairs to our B&B above a Mexican Restaurant. We were then able to set up our studio in an area some people refer to as a kitchen 🙂
Tomorrow we’ll help hang the quilts in the 2013 American Quilter’s Society Quilt Show and Contest.
We are very excited to be here and we are also very excited to share that we have some updated information about our May 2014 Baltic Cruise.
We’ve finalized the cruise details: dates, inclusions (daily shore excursions and a pre-trip extra night in Copenhagen!) and prices. You can find all the information at www.chrisquilts.net/trips. We still don’t have pricing for the airfare, but we do want to be sure we get enough cabins reserved. This is your chance to visit the site and reserve your spot now!
Stay tuned! Next week we’ll have pictures from Quilt Week!

What Fun!! Two large boxes are nearly filled to send to Wisconsin tomorrow. I’m bringing a small suitcase (with my clothes) inside the larger suitcase, so I’ll have room for all the goodies I buy at Paducah. See you on Tuesday–Whooopee!

Looks like you guys will be having an awesome time. Love the kitchen/studio. We won’t be leaving for Paducah until early Tuesday morning and I hope I run into you somewhere along the way. I talked to Kristi at the first meeting of the Lakeshore Modern Quilt Guild and have sent in my deposit for a balcony room!
