Columbus Ohio quilt show

My wife and I are going to the NQA quilt show in Columbus, Ohio next
week. We will go from North Alabama through Nashville, TN and
Louisville KY to Columbus.

We avoid the interstate when we can get a better view of the country
side. Anyone have suggestions about things we should see and do
(especially quilt related).

We are looking forward to the trip even though gasoline prices may be
well over $3.00 a gallon.

Wow, Jerry, thanks for the heads-up! I'm actually planning make the
10-11 hour trip to Columbus that weekend to visit someone, so now I
know what else I will do when I'm there.

Can't offer any quilt-related tourist info, sorry. I lived in
Columbus in the 1990s but wasn't a quilter when I was there.

Hi Jerry,

I hate to be the one to bring the news but............gas here in Ohio
is $3.38 gal. It was up to $3.47 but is inching down ever so
slightly. It sure would be nice for it to be under $3.00 gal again.

Jerry, There are several quilt shops in the area. We have a great zoo, if
that's something you like. The Conservatory has a huge butterfly exhibit
going on. I'll be at the quilt show Thur. for sure. I have tickets for the
evening dinner.
Ami Sims is the speaker, she's hilarious, so I want to go listen to her.
I'll probably be there some on Friday, but not sure how much. I have
tickets to the noon luncheon on Sat. No classes this year (unless I change
my mind). A lot depends on how well my foot works being on it all day.
I'd love a meet up. Do you have a cell phone? Email me privately with the
number, so we can get in touch. Of course, if you want to save money, our
guest room is available. you're welcome to stay with us.
Who else is coming for the show?

In addition to all the mentioned ideas you might concider going up to
the Amish Country of Holmes county and trolling through the Quilt
shops in the Berlin area. It is about an hour and a half north west of
Columbus. I don't know if you want to drive that fgar but it is worth
it if you can find the time. I should be at the NQA show on Saturday.

That should read North East of Columbus. sorry for the sloppy fingers.

Howdy!

As backroads travelers we'd take the side trip to Paducah,
go to several shops, the AQS Museum, Kirchoff'd Bakery,
then back on the road to Louisville on to Columbus.

Safe travels, Jerry & your wife!
