Day 1

Got up early this morning and was on the road by 3:30am Central time.  We had lunch in Cloverleaf, Indiana.  We enjoyed a wonderful hamburger and hand dipped onion rings.  The burger was open flamed grilled and so good.  Then drove to Indianapolis, Indiana at Quilt Plus and visited her.  This was a modern quilt store and she had some really cute things.  I purchased a pattern for little felt animals, some cork fabric to try to make a little bag and a license plate.  Indianapolis, IN is home to the Indy 500 race car track. So in honor of this her license plate is “Sew Fast’.  Finally stopped for the night at Richmond, IN.  We are just a few miles west of Ohio.  Tomorrow I will see what quilt stores are open and stop and visit.  We hope to get as far as Gettysburg, Pennsylvania tomorrow.  We will see.  .Sunrise west of St. Louis, Missouri, and the temp outside is 68 degrees.

St. Louis Arch.

This was so pretty the way the sun was shinning on it.  This is Effingham, Illinois..  Love the names of some of these towns.

So many quilt shops closed on Sunday and finding them closed even on Mondays.  Oh well this was a nice shop and the owner was so friendly.  Gave us some good advice on travels..  Stay tuned for tomorrow.
