I know this photo is not the greatest - I took it with my iPhone and it was raining at the time. When I went yesterday to get my hair cut, I found a large-ish patch of snowdrops flowering at the back end of the parking lot behind the salon. Flowers in mid-February in eastern MD! I can only remember one other year since I've lived here (1978) that we've had flowers so early in the spring. :) I thought it was worth remembering.
I spent several hours today driving down to Gaithersburg to attend a meeting of the various shop owners in the Quilter's Quest at Capital Quilts. It's about an hour to hour-and-a-half drive from my house to CQ, depending on traffic. No idea how many miles it is (not nearly enough to account for the time spent in travel, I assure you!). I always enjoy these meetings - it's fun to see a set of my peers and we've been working together for a number of years.
I did get to meet one new owner today - Kelley Bova from The Scrappy Apple in Winchester, VA. :) I think some time later this spring or early summer I'm going to try to go on my own personal Quest and visit all the shops for myself. :) It's fun to get out and see how other people do things - and I don't get to be a 'private' quilt maker very often any more.
:) Linda
