The sun is shining in Kent (the garden of England) and I hope it's shining on you too.

Are you planning to go to Washington D.C. or Washington State?

There is also a show at Hershey, PA (Home to Hershey Chocolates and Hershey Park) that takes place the end of July each year called Quilt Odyssey. It's not as huge as the Lancaster shows but the quality of the quilts is amazing.

Just to say a very big thank you to everyone who has given me so much information on which to plan our holiday to Washington DC. I can't wait. It's still a pity about the bus - just a romantic notion! I think I must start saving my money for all those fantastic quilt shops.....
