Back to convention reporting!

Tuesday afternoon, the five of us went to Mammaw's Quilt Shop in Knoxville. There was lots of choices in fabric, but they were in the middle of rearranging the shop plus getting ready for the AQS show that will be in Knoxville in a week or so. Can't tell you how many people asked if we were coming back for the show. Since there will be an AQS show in Des Moines in October, my guess is that we will opt for that one. At least the driving distance won't be quite so far.

Early registration for the IDMA convention was Tuesday afternoon. Always good to get that out of the way before the workshops and meeting start on Wednesday. Tuesday evening we got to take a train ride with the evening meal included! It was fun and the food wonderful. Here are a few of the pictures I took on the ride.

The fourth picture is of a bird nest on the top of bridge. The bird builds a nest there each year, and each year it gets a little larger.



The first picture here is just now nice the bridges are, and the second is of the train station. Although the ride was at least and hour and a half, it was over too soon.

That's all for now. Watch for installment three!
