Innovations, the machine quilting conference in Tacoma, WA starts tomorrow. This is the third year I have attended and I’m looking forward to reuniting with some of the great friends I’ve met at the conference and hoping to bring back a new skill or two to practice.
I arrived in Tacoma late last night. Know what I did? I booked my flight Saturday, which was late in the game for booking a flight in the first place, and as I went to do my web pre-flight check in for my Monday morning flight, I got a notice that it was too soon to try to check in. What?? It was 9:00 pm and I was supposed to leave the next morning. I re-checked my ticket and sure enough...I had booked the flight for the PM not the AM flight! AARRGGHH!!
So, had to call my friend with whom I’m staying to tell her the bad news, as changing the flight would have cost $75, and I had used my miles to purchase the ticket. As always, she just shrugged it off and said "no problem". When she picked me up last night she said it was probably for the best anyway, as she had had a long night at work (she's a paramedic) in addition to the mandatory morning meeting she had attended, and was exhausted. So, other than not finishing my homework, it all worked out!
On Saturday, I will be at the Hyde Park Festival. I will be sharing a booth with a couple of other quilters and showing samples of my Bronco quilts and taking orders. Please stop by and say hello!

Shoot. Of all weekends for me to pick to go out of town. Sorry I won't get to meet you at the Hyde Park Fair.
