February 22, 2012: Kicking the tires, and a road test
Greetings,
Today the sun shines, and we race around to complete last minute packing. A weather report that I heard an hour or so ago predicted snow in the forecast. Sounds like a good time to leave!
I thought it would be wise to send out a last posting before we leave. For those who have indicated that they were signed up to receive the email notifications of new blog entries, this will be the “road test” mentioned above. I will confirm that I have posted this with ONE more email reminder. Please delete the upcoming email if you have already received the blog.
Sandy said a strange thing to me this morning. She commented that she is already missing her quilting! (I haven’t locked her out of her sewing room.) I could reminder her that we are heading toward Needles, CA…oh, and that major quilting warehouse in Portland. In any case, I will try to keep her in stitches.
Well, we will both have wonderful activities to look forward to when we return in mid-April: Sandy, with some new sewing projects, and me, with new sailing adventures – on Graystone, or with Nanaimo Yacht Charters, or with other friends.
Until we return, then, here begins the 2012 edition of Road Quill Road Notes.

I am wondering if Sandy knows there is a big sewing “convention” in Puyallup, WA (outside Seattle) sometime soon (March 1-4). A friend who is a seamstress is going with her mother who is a quilter. You will be far to the south by then, but keep it in mind for planning in the future.
Travel safely.

Hello you two – Glad for the last minute signup reminder. If Sandy’s longing for Quilting persists, you may have to upgrade your travel home space to something you pull as opposed to carry. Then again maybe absence make the creative quilting juice grow stronger ;>) Anyway, have a great and safe trip. Keep the rubber side down as they say and I will be watching for notes.

We actually talked about the silly possibility of pulling a trailer – with quilting tables, sewing machines, sergers…and a workshop full of table saws, jointers, planers etc. Well, actually, that was my whimsical suggestion until Sandy dismissively left the room.
