I have locked my travel plans into place for the American Quilters Association (AQS) show in Lancaster, PA. http://bit.ly/138EvO0 where I will be making author appearances 13-15 March. (The show actually begins on the 12th.) I am excited on multiple levels because this will be my first show to do since publication of Small Town Lies and the recently released Small Town Haven (http://charliehudson.net/books.html), and we haven’t been to Lancaster in a long time. The idea of being surrounded by so many quilters and to put faces to names of several that I’ve spoken with or emailed is something that I am really looking forward to. As I have previously posted, when I began writing the Helen Crowder Adventure Series, I was fully embraced by every quilter that I have turned to for advice and I have come to have an even deeper appreciation for this craft than before.
If you haven’t been to either the charming area of Lancaster or to a quilting show, it’s something that you may want to consider. Granted, it might still be a bit nippy that time of year, but there could also be a milder stretch with blossoms beginning to appear. I’ll keep a close eye on the forecast when I start packing.
