I just finished up two days of the quilt run. This is a two weekend event covering quilt shops in the Southern California area. The idea is to travel to as many of the participating shops as you can where you will find prizes and goodies for all. The event ends with several drawings for grand prizes.
Laura and I, and the girls, have gone on the run for several years. The girls love it, as all the ladies make a big fuss over them. Laura and I love it, as we get to look at all the fun things to make!
This year we were driving the little economy car and just didn't have room for all four of the girls, so we decided to split up Kayla and Marissa. The first day Marissa went with us and the second day Kayla went.
Here is a look at the first day.
Just finished up at the first quilt store of the day, and ready to head for another one.
About the fourth store it was time to take a break! Quilt runs are hard work.
The girls thought this was a cute one!
We finally finished up for the day and stopped for some dinner well after dark. We thought the girls would fall asleep on the drive home but they were still chatting at 10:30 when we pulled into the driveway!
And the second day went something like this.
Heading into the first store, ready to go.
About five stores later, and rest time for this group!
Some interesting scenery along the way. The girls loved watching these. Katie thought the blades were scratching the sky because it was probably itchy!
Almost finished with the last quilt shop, and still smiling.
Well there you have the condensed version of our adventures. Did we get to all of the quilt stores? No. We only made it to about half of them. There were thirty some participating shops so I think we did pretty well.
Actually, Laura and Tara are going to continue the run tomorrow, but Katie will be staying home with her daddy, and I am staying home myself.
Maybe next year I'll get to all of them.
On another subject, just thought I would let everyone know that I fixed the comment settings, and leaving a comment should be easy now. Just leave it under anonymous and that should do it.
