This random wrap-up post is mostly for me.... just as a reminder of a few more QuiltCon moments that are worth reflecting back on.
First off, Rachel @snippetsofsweetness and I flew out of the new-to-us Paine Field Airport very near our homes. With just two gates, it was so much smaller and convenient than we were used to.
On Friday night, we had dinner at Cornish Pasty Co. with a delightful group. All invited by Yvonne @quiltingjetgirl and joined by her husband Michael @wabi_sabi_overland, Rebecca @rebeccalynn207, Krista @poppyprint and CJ @cj.molen, both long-time friends. It was too dark to get a photo of our pasties, but the company was excellent, and we enjoyed the evening.
Come Saturday, Rachel and I ventured off together after attending the Keynote with some guild members, and joining in the guild photo. We first headed back to Blanco Cocina so Rachel could enjoy it too. Oh how I wish Blanco had a restaurant near us back home!
Then we ubered over to Palabras Bilingual Bookstore, a shop Rachel was keen to see and experience.
It was an enjoyable outing! After, we ubered back to the convention center for one last round through the vendors and quilt exhibit, saying goodbye to QuiltCon. It was bittersweet for sure!
I looks like you had a fabulous time. I need to go to the Cornish Pasty. I love them, we had them in the upper penisula of michigan.
ReplyDeleteThe people are the best part of QuiltCon. Thank you for being a highlight of my time there this year. <3
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! That new, small(er) airport looks so pleasant. And an "uneventful flight" is even better. I can't describe my personal experience flying home, except to say that turbulence had me full of terror and desperately wanting off the plane. You might rightly guess that I'm fearful of flying, and flying alone makes it worse. And your dining out... looks fantastic! I ate only one meal in a restaurant, with Susan Braverman. I guess it makes a big difference traveling by oneself. I would have enjoyed sharing meals with others, but between a busy schedule, and weird times available to eat, I just didn't. Gosh, between all the walking at QC (more than six miles on two days!), and not eating much, I returned home four pounds lighter!
