Two More Sleeps!

Two more days until I take off on my "40th Birthday Cruise/trip" with my high school friends!!!   On Saturday I flight to Winnipeg, meet my sister in law for lunch at the airport as she is flying in from Thunder Bay that morning too.  Great timing.  Then I catch a flight to Vancouver and spent the night with my sister.  I am taking her the "Lizard" quilt so she gets an early xmas gift ( and this makes sure I have room in my suitcase for any shopping I might do on this trip).  Sunday I meet my friends at the port and board the Golden Princess cruise ship for 3 days at sea.  We arrive in Long Beach, CA on Wednesday and spend the next 3 days in this area doing all those touristy things.  Then we are renting a car, driving to VEGAS and staying for 3 days!!  Did I mention that my friends are just a little bit crazy?   Oh I am so looking forward to this trip!

My husband had a great idea that I personalize my ever so common black suitcase with something 'quilty' so I can easily identify it at the airports.  (Not only is he smart but he's cute too!!)  So I made this little quilt block out of some dyed scraps and velcroed it around the handle.  I think that will work great.

So I won't have access to a computer for the next 12 days so my blog will be quiet for awhile.  I have a cupboard full of quilts awaiting my attention when I get back so I am looking forward to getting at those once I return.
