As if that wasn't enough time on the road, I spent a lot of hours driving between quilt shops and picking up patterns as part of the Row by Row experience. On this trip I managed one shop in Reno and one in Cottonwood, Arizona. There were some others we passed, but either the timing wasn't right or I wasn't thrilled about the block, or I was really tired.
The row I really wanted to make sure to get was from the Durango Quilt Company. It's got the train on it! But we pulled into town just after they'd closed for the night and the train ride the next day returned to town just after they'd closed for the night. And then it was Sunday.
I'd planned a drive up into Washington State to get more rows, but my partner in crime is sick and it's a holiday weekend. So I think I'll leave my total at 33 shops. That's more than enough patterns for a quilt -- although I spent a lot of drive time thinking about the possibilities and I think it's going to be two. One with the really intricate blocks and another with the simpler ones.
I hate to see summer end, but I'm looking forward to Super Sock Scarefest over on Ravelry and Bag It, hosted by Elm Street Quilts.
