    Why can't you go rapture? Just drive south to Paducah! Paducah is just over the border from Illinois - 15 minutes tops!

    When she comes out with new books on her website you can order ahead of time for a signed copy.
    I got the Victory Quilt book that way.
    No way I can get to Paducah.

    Oh u r too funny. I guess I really shouldn't blame him, he did say , I can' t see spending the money just for that, but if it's what u want....." Course then he reminded me that there would most likely be a line and since we were leaving for home in Early afternoon it would severely cut into our time to see the secondary quilt show at the Continental inn and all the other fabulous lqs's ... Opps! He had me there lol

    Or do we just let them think they do????
    I'm going to Paducah but just for one day. I'd love to go down and spend a couple of days there. Being half Kentuckian (on my momma's side) I love it down there. It's been 9 years since I've been down there for more than just a day. I went to the quilt show in Paducah last year and the year before a whole bunch of people from church went to the Creation Museum in St. Petersburg, Ky. Boy, that was a cool place to see. I especially loved the small part of the Ark that was built to scale.
    And the hands of Methuselah. They used a 90 some year old man as a hand model.

    Like the analogy that she is the Bob Ross of quilting.
    way. I never thought of it that way.

    Come to think of it, when I watch her show, as I did his, I do go away feeling better.

    I met Eleanor Burns at Madison, Wisconsin quilting expo in 2008, she was the nicest. Billie Lauder, Kaye Woods and several others were there also, all the ladies were the nicest people. This was also true when I was in Pigeon Forge one year. I love to go to the big shows they are so fantastic, wish I could go to Paducah some year.
