Ricky Tims Drive-By

Howdy!

First, thanks to Kathyl for telling about this opportunity for adventure!

That was fun!

or go to the Ricky Tims' FaceBook page and look for me & Summer Breeze. ;-D

He's doing this funny thing where he posts on FB & Twitter about where they will be on their road trips; then whoever reads and wants to play can make plans to rush to the highway and flap a quilt at Ricky & his driver. This time they were in the Metroplex, had lunch in Grapevine, were heading to Houston, along "my" route. That's only about 6 miles from here, a quick hop on Hwy 287 puts me there in 10 minutes. As the hwy shrinks to just

2 lanes there, I pulled into a little alcove just 60 seconds ahead of them. Phone call returned and here they came around the curve. They were able to stop next to me, off the hwy, and speak for a moment, while we exchanged camera-fire. (I actually let someone take my picture & post it online- I am feeling like me! ) And down the road they go. But first, they had to stop at the traffic light at the intersection, so I blew on past them, made a right turn w/ horn blaring, and we all laughed. What fun!

I'm not going to Houston this year; been there, not time to go back, yet. But our picture is, me and Summer Breeze. Quilt appropriately named, as it is quite warm today, & the wind blowing along the hwy is somethin' fierce!

Cheers!

Thanks, Kathyl!

How cool that they had time to stop and take pictures! You might be one of the first ones for that treat! The wind is supposed to start howling here tomorrow! K

Went to Facebook just to look. What a cute picture! You look like you were about to blow away. You needed a third hand to manage everything.

Love the idea of standing on the side of the road and waving a quilt. There have been times when traveling I just didn't have time to stop and meet my long distance quilting friends and would wave as we passed their interchange. What fun it would be to wave a quilt at someone as they drove passed. I would also love to have a large quilt in my front yard just to say "a quilter lives here". Will think about a display system this winter and might have one flapping by summer.
