Early Wednesday morning, my friend Janna and I left Green Bay to meet our Arizona friend Mary at the Houston International Quilt Show. We spent 3 days viewing quilts, shopping the vendors, watching demos, shopping the vendors, eating and oh did I mention shopping the vendors. By the feel of my feet we must have walked 20 miles a day, but I'm gonna give myself credit for 3 miles per day. We traveled back to GB on Saturday in time for the boys and I to attend a UWGB basketball slaughter (we won 100, to 33). On Sunday, I resumed my neighborhood walking, putting in 3.4 miles before the Packer game. That gives me a total of 12.4 miles since my last post, and a trip total of 120.29 miles.

| Party in Houston! |
In Maryland, Janna, Mary and I walked to the outskirts of Bowie Maryland, where we set up our sewing machines in the clubhouse at the campground. We decided to make a simple friendship quilt out of squares and circles. We set up a design wall next to our machines and by the end of the day almost every woman in the campground had brought their lawnchairs to the clubhouse. The helped us cut, turn, iron and rearrange squares on the wall. Just like a good old fashioned quilting bee, we joined together to share our stories and create our legacies.
