Well, if I'm not ready by now I guess it's too late! LOL! One more day and it's "race day"! My Dad and brother got in safely last night and we went to pick up our race packets too! Breanna is even getting a little more excited as our race bags were packed full of goodies! I love going to these big races as they really load you up with things from sponsors! We got tee shirts, granola bars, energy bars, rice cakes and this year we even got Glad Plug - Ins! What, they think we stink afterwards or what?! LOL! Today we're off to see the Air Force Museum and I'm going to take them by our house to see the progress on it too! I'm a little excited to take them to the museum as I actually have a bit of history at the museum! When the Air Force celebrated it's 50th anniversary a group of ladies made a commemorative quilt. They asked for a block from each base symbolizing the mission of that particular base. We happened to live at Langley AFB in Virginia at the time and I was the quilting teacher there! I was chosen to make the block that eventually made it into this quilt! Now it's hanging in a museum! That's one of my little claims to fame! Here's a picture of me in front of the quilt that we took last year;
The block I made is on the second row, 4th from the left. It's easier to see if you click on the picture and have it enlarge! Oh that itty bitty person in front is me! That sort of gives you a better idea of how large this quilt really is too!
Well,
Until next time.....

Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog yesterday. The quilt is really fantastic. It must be amazing to be a part of something like that.
Now how cool is that to have a quilt square in a GORGEOUS commemorative AFB quilt? Can't remember you telling me about it when it happened, but i'm sure you did!?
Have fun tomorrow:-)
