Cincinnati

We’re back from a whirlwind trip where we just ‘ran up’ to Cincy for a Reds game.  We drove up Tuesday morning for a Tuesday night game, and came back today.  My Beloved drove all 14 hours in 2 days, and I’m so proud of him.  I hate driving, so I really appreciate that he [...]

Been There, Done That

We’re thinking about taking a couple day road trip up to Cincinnati soon to catch a Reds game.  If anyone knows anything fun to do/see that we could catch on the way or way back to Memphis, please let me know.  We wouldn’t mind adding a day and taking a scenic detour for something fun to add to [...]

Last, and becoming least

Happy Friday the 13th!!!!!
On our last full day there, I got to see 3 more quilt shops, in the rain.  The first was…

You can tell it was raining.  But it was bright and colorful inside.  This was a good sized shop that had lots of really great stuff and a really good variety.  They had [...]

Day 4, Part 2

I was planning on seeing 2 quilt shops that day, but first we had to stop for lunch.  We found this great hole-in-the-wall place that you could tell was just for the locals.  I could have taken so many great pictures inside, but didn’t want to look like an obnoxious tourist.  There was a sign [...]

And then there was 4

By this time my legs were aching, and it was hard to face another day full of walking.  But then I remembered I was on vacation, and it became really easy.  We started this day at the Newport Aquarium.  I don’t have a lot of pictures of this because it’s so hard to take shots [...]

3 comes after 2

Can I just say that me and fusible web are broken up.  F.W. has caused me too much heartache over the last few days while I’m working on this applique quilt.  So it’s over.  Okay, back to the trip…
So by Day 3 we were exhausted, but still had a full day ahead.  First up, the [...]

Day 2

Day 2 has nothing crafty about it, so I apologize in advance.  Day 2 was all about baseball.  We were supposed to get up early and go to Finley Market, which is apparently this great farmers market/flea market/really great thing to see, but I just couldn’t get out of bed, as uncomfortable as it was.  [...]

But wait, there’s more…

After The Quilt Box, we went on to Cincinnati, and straight to the Art Museum.

They were having a quilt exhibit which I wasn’t able to take any photos of.  It was a decent exhibit, but having been to the actual Quilt Museum, I wasn’t too impressed.  After that it was on to Krohn Conservatory.

There were [...]

The Quilt Box

So on the way to Cincinnati, I got to stop at The Quilt Box.  It’s in Dry Ridge, KY, and about half an hour south of Cincy.  It was an amazing shop.  I had heard great things about it, and it still blew me away.  It’s on this little country road, and we actually had [...]

We’re back!

Wow, we had a great week in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky.  It’s nice to be home, but we sure were sad to leave.  Over the next few days I’ll post lots of pictures from our trip, including 5 amazing quilt shops I got to visit.  I was in heaven.  We only have 2 small shops around here, [...]
