Quilt Market - Arrived in Portland

Susan and I drove down from Seattle yesterday, but not before having a hearty breakfast with her sister.

A beautiful drive down the I-5, can't wait to tour that area next week with Andrew, found us hitting our home for the 5 days by noon. Three bedrooms, 4 designers, and 3 shop owners; let the laughs begin.

After dropping our luggage, we head to the convention center and hook up with Joanne from Fat Quarter Gypsy and Kris from Poorhouse Design to drop off a few boxes. We picked up Penni from Cabin in the Woods Quilters, Amy from Material Girls Quilt Boutique, and Phyllis from Quilting Adventures and head back to the house to drop off my luggage and find food.

AND...Find food we did.

We had a quick meal at a small Mexican restaurant and headed across the street to Blue Star Donuts.


I see another visit before we leave...
Because it's donuts for grownups...and yep...that's us.


TO DIE FOR.

We left our little house and drove out to Beaverton for a visit to Craft Poor House, which is owned by Violet Craft and her husband. Not being a big beer drinker, I can still usually find something that I like.



They had a full board to chose from, and I went with the Springdale Pearly Wit...it was light and refreshing, and I would order it again. Susan and I knew right away this would be a place that our beer loving husbands would love to come and hang out.

After lunch and beer tasting we knew that dinner was not in the cards, so we headed to the grocery store and loaded up on munchies for the house. 6 of the 7 of us at the house live on the east coast, so by 7:30 we were all toast but held on till 9:30 before heading to bed.

This morning we're all working out our schedules and trying to figure what schoolhouse sessions we need to attend to bring back the newest coolest items for our customers.

Until Next Time
Be Kind
