Feb 21, 2011 Imperial County Desert Quilters guild


Sunday a.m. it is 5:03 am I am up and all ready to head over the mountain towards El Centro California, otherwise known as Imperial County in the California desert. The sunrise over the mountains was beautiful. When you live in the city and often do not get up early you forget what a beautiful sunrise looks like. The roads were iced and we were driving slow so we got to see things.
The sky out in the desert was so big, I could see forever.
We also wondered over to Calexico near El Centro and went to a swap meet. No one spoke English, all Spanish speakers..I stopped at a gas station and asked directions and even the gas station person did not speak English.... well that is life near a boarder town.

The Quilt show was nice with some very well done quilts. Not very big but fun to go to.
The best part is going for the drive down to El Centro and seeing what you can see.
Now it is Monday and I have to get back to the books. The house needs a little cleaning.
Have a great day.
