San Diego Quilt Run March 7, 2009

Saturday I spend alot of the day going on the San Diego Quilt run. No, there are not quilts running down the road, as one of my friends described it to me. San Diego Cruisin’ Quilters is a time to visit the quilt shops. You can take 7 days to go to all the shops. Each shop has a gift for you and a chance to win a prize. I went to all the 7 shops in the south San Diego Area.
There was one shop in Chula Vista that was not on the list this year Quilters Choice.
Cathy the owner is great, and I forgot how much I like seeing her. I signed up for a class,
got some great ideas from her, of course bought some material, a magazine and I am going to back back on my next day off and get another book I saw there. She was a life saver to me, she had fresh coffee for the Cruising gals. If you do not remember I love coffee, especially in the late afternoon. We talked about our dogs, my cats, and her husband stopped in for a few minutes.
I really liked my visit there.
This afternoon I took my online final for a computer class I am taking at Cuyamaca college.
I just finished that and decided I better stop in for a minute to get caught up on my blogging.
I am not going to post a picture of the stash I got yesterday. I am trying to use up my stash, if only that is possible. I did start a new stash on the run, so many great deals!...
It is almost 6:00 pm and I have to finish one block to post to Bears in the Farmhouse.
I have to get that done tonight or else I will not be able to get the next step of instructions emailed to me . So with that in mind I have to hurry and get to my sewing machine. No TV for me tonight, Besides I also have to wash some cloths to wear to work tomorrow.

Guess what I just learned how to do the hyperlinks on the blog today, so that is why we finally have them here today. So enjoy the link, try to go visit the shops, stop at the ones you find that are not on the list. Just ask the shops you do go to if there are any other shops in the area that you might visit.... they know... and usually will tell you. You will find interesting places to go.

Remember to thank every shop for their gifts and time. Have a great Sunday.
Hope to hear from you soon
