This weekend is the Vermont Quilt Festival in Essex Junction, Vermont. I have always wanted to go to this show but it is just far enough from where I live that an overnight stay would be necessary. Since I work on Saturdays and Sundays it is just not possible to make the trip. Rats. Ironically, the museum I work for has a table up at the event where they get to meet and greet show attendees all day. That might not be so much fun (it's actually pretty draining) but the opportunity to pop in and out of the show would make up for a lot!
There are some wonderful special exhibits which (by themselves) would make the trip a good idea. Add to that the superb quality and number of entered quilts, the merchant's mall, and the proximity to the Shelburne Museum in Burlington, Vermont, and you have yourself a five-star weekend. I encourage any and all of you who are in the vicinity to make the trip. You won't be disappointed.
Cinderella must stay home, mind the museum, and leave the fun to others. I guess I am ok with that, but it does make me wonder where the hell my Fairy Godmother has been lately.....
