Brrr! It's cold out there traveling from show to show....

Whimsy Lane in Shabby Chic Colors
We're out there in the middle of this storm everyone on the news 
is talking about...
traveling from show to show..

The above pic is from our Phoenix show.

Every show is set up differently...
I decided to hang my original
Meet Me In Paris
this time...

I managed to find a better way
to display my
Buttercream Summer
Mystery Block of the Month
while it is still in pieces...
And we hung the
Heart and Home quilt this time too...
After Phoenix
is when we were caught up in this storm...
We had to pull over in Albuquerqe
for the night...
and oh my...
I had to go to the spa....
(so rough)

then on to their Borders store in town...
Some of the books I perused....

The Guitar Man
worked on our 2011 Quilt Show Schedule...

and oh yeah...
I just have to show you this...

In all the bookstores I have been in...
never before have I seen
'Quilting'
as a title caption!

Albuquerqe you rock!

We then skedaddled out in 
the 15 degree weather
to Bravo's for an Italian dinner.

We had their Lobster Ravioli in Vodka Sauce
for an appetizer...
Ummm....Divine....
Antipasto Salads for our main course...
And I have to show you pics of
this place...
It's like ancient Roman Pillars in ruins...
have been placed as the center
focal point...
Bravos Italiana...
The bitter half...(whoops!)
I mean....better half...
left to hook up the trailer...
and told me we must get on the road...
NOW!
So off we go...
