Going Cross Country NOT OT

Mar 11, 2008 38 Replies

Lord willing, and the creek don't rise....Mr Joe and I are DRIVING cross country this Spring: AZ to IN and MI



IF any of you are interested---send me an email. We will go one way there and a diff way back. I have NO idea which States we will be going thru--but if you're between here and there..I'd LOVE to hear from you....maybe meet at Your LQS, if it isn't too far off the beaten path. I'd love to get a FQ from each State we go thru to put on the back of the cloth USA map I have---WUH size--thus the FQ. (Get your maps out--am I gonna be CLOSE to you? )



We will have a Laptop with us so we'd be able to contact you on our way. I've asked Karen, Queen of Squishes to be our go-between. If I don't answer you--she should know about where we are. I should have a traveling e-addy before we go.



I'm really excited cause I never dreamed this (traveling by car) would ever be possible for us again.



For now: Butterfly - Wings at cox dot com hi Star



FORGET the S T A S H R A I D cause DS will be here and HIS fabrics are mixed in with mine......And HE has claimed what I leave behind--except for his Sis's Stash.



Butterfly (no, we don't have exact dates yet)


Wow - sounds like a fantastic time Butterfly.

Oh! Oh! We have a LQS right on I-70! It's a main artery between the west and the east! You can meet me, Musicmaker, Grammy Kathy, and maybe some others that we quilt with! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

Karen, Queen of Squishies

Check out Coralville, Iowa right on Interstate 80! You might be going right through!

E me the info and we'll put it on our planning Map : ) WHHOOOOOOO HHHHHOOOOOOO

Butterfly

Gotcha written down

WWHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO HHHHHHOOOOOOO

Butterlfy (Why didn't I know about 'us' when we were traveling cross-country

4 diff times all those years ago---I know I know I know--RCTQ wasn't here, yet)

If these get posted more than once--my compie is saying they are NOT getting posted at all

I'm here in southern Minnesota if you get this far north.

Julia > Lord willing, and the creek don't rise....Mr Joe and I are DRIVING cross

Lansing--but who knows--we may end up as far as the Bridge: ) Been ages since we've been THAT far north

Butterfly (Depends on the time, $, how we're 'holding up' schedule)

That sounds like lots of fun Butterfly. Have fun planning!!

And there are a couple of us just to the west (Lisa Caryl and I), north of Des Moines.

Noted.

Butterfly (we may get thru more states than on what was an' average trip cross country when we HAD to move from A to B with NO stops in between--cause Boss-man wanted us there 'yesterday')

What is GOOD about this trip-we do have TIME TO PLAN :)

Butterfly (not counting the days ...yet)

I lived in Lansing a few years ago. You'll definitely want to check out Country Stitches, but you probably already know that! If you're only going as far north as the Bridge, you'll still be an hour and a half away from me. But if you decide to take a side trip to see the Pictured Rocks, I'd be happy to meet with you.

D> Lansing--but who knows--we may end up as far as the Bridge: ) Been ages

Well shoot. Too bad you are doing this in spring and not summer. We could have planned a meet up somewhere between CA and NM when I am stateside in July.

Shona, contemplating an Amtrak West Coast rail pass, in NZ

And what is the name of the state that lies between CA and NM???????? Kinda like the state that I presently live in-- (NO, not THAT kinda of state ). We could maybe have a meet-up of Pati, Carolyn in Old Pueblo, Jeanbaby, and anyone else that lives in AZ. I should be back long before July. Do you know about what dates?

Butterfly (So can we plan a meet-up)
