Last week I worked for Sanford Sewing Machines at Maine Quilts in Augusta, ME. If you weren't there, you missed a great time!
What wasn't a great time was the drive. To get from New York to Maine, I drive through Waterbury CT, Hartford CT, around Boston MA, the road to Cape Cod, and through wicked Maine vacation traffic. Good times! Bumper to bumper cars EVERYWHERE!
I broke up the drive by stopping at a few quilt shops.
Sturbridge Quilting and Sewing:
Charlton Sewing Center:
As soon as I arrive at the hotel, my hotel room was transformed into a sewing room featuring my HQ Stitch 210 machine:
I finished two quilt tops.
Fenced In:
Squared Away:
And I started another Squared Away featuring Jillily's Coming Up Roses fabric:
The sewing wasn't limited to the hotel room. There was some stitching going on in the Handi Quilter booth:
I quilted a little bit, too.
A pygmy owl:
I stitched out some ribbon candy using the Pro-Stitcher. SWOON!
I got to experience a little rain in Maine. This is about six inches of water draining from the parking lot, right where my car was parked.
Good thing I can swim!
Maine has some food that isn't available in the rest of the country.
First I tried Moxie:
I enjoyed fresh Lobster Roll and a Whoopie Pie:
After the quilt show, I got to enjoy more wicked traffic:
I am going to Maine again on September 12-13 to teach at Sanford Sewing Machines. Will I see you there?

I brought home a few bottles of Moxie, in case you are desperate to try it.*

Your comments about Moxie were interesting. I've never tried it, but your reaction was a bit like mine the first (and only) time I tried Dr Pepper! Let's just say I didn't find it very palatable.
And did you try the lobstah chowdah? Wicked good!
