Road Trips and Quilting

I took a road trip yesterday with my good friend Jane and my brother. The fall colors were just starting to change. We took the back roads, saw deer, road kill and lots of great places for photo shoots that would be great quilts. Our first stop was at my Sister's house. Her 60th birthday is this week and I just could not let that one go. This fun event has been planned for over two years and I was so excited to do this I was up and ready to go. The bras (all 30) of them were strung onto the white light strand of lights the day before, all done with twist ties. Another brother met us there with an extension chord. We had a ladder, a role of tape for the garage sign and clips to hang up the strand of lights. Oh yes, we also had our camera. We waved to the neighbor who stood watching us the whole time. We pulled our cars down before the pictures were taken so there would be no evidence of who did this. We all laughed so hard like we had as teenagers. Our biggest hope was that it brought laughter to her for a while after a year in a half of sadness with the passing of my Dad. I hope she saves these bras and when the right opportunity poses itself she will use this idea again and have as much fun as we did. Happy Birthday Theresa. make it a great one with your 60 cup salute! After our jaunt we took a detour and found a quaint quilt shop called sawdust and stitches. My brother did not rush me, he did however point out all of the uneven borders on all of the quilts that were on display as well as the points not meeting. Funny Guy. We had a wonderful lunch, Thanks Jane. Back into the car. We raided the last of the vegetables from my brothers garden and still laughed all of the way home. What a great day. I did manage to spend about an hour in my quilt studio working on a project for the fair.

How do you top that day. My day ended with choir, where it was hard to hit those high notes because I was laughing so hard all day, but what a great day it was.
