Backwards in Time-to No.CA Quilt Council Meeting

Follow that truck!

I'm spinning back to just before LB... my good friend and fellow quilt artist, Cindy Rinne, take an annual trek to CA-No.Council of Quilt Guilds to present ourselves as teachers. We have a great time on this trip -hours&hours&hours of talking, catching up... we really look forward to it. This time around we made our normal stop for lunch in Livermore, CA and I got to introduce Cindy to my new friend BariJ (who I met in Sisters). Then we headed out in search of foam -- that is foam so I could try some experiments with some wool roving... what we found?!? Well, we did finally find some usable foam without pulling over the truck driver-- we also found some fun masks... perfect for craft night.
After a full day of travel we were ready for crafting-- and we both had big plans for our masks. Next day we were off to council-- where these photos were taken while the hoards of guild reps were held back -- after the doors opened there certainly was no time for picture taking.

We ended our time there with a great lunch with a huge group of teachers -- then we had to tear ourselves away for the hours, & hours of driving to get us home.

All in all another fabulous trip!!! Thank you Cindy, and everyone else along this little trail.
