50 States Finished


After countless walking and quilting show trips I (Mom/Barbara) have finally finished walking in all 50 states. Of the two adventures which one was more fun you may ask. I'll tell you. I'd say the anticipation of venturing into a new quilt show or shop tops the list by far. Walking becomes the secondary activity. But I must admit the last walk in Sisters, Oregon was probably the highlight of my walking adventures. As you can see by the pictures Oregon is a beautiful state. I'm glad I saved it for last.

AVA will present me with a pin, T-shirt and certificate. I started all this walking in 1991 and finished July 14, 2007. The most beautiful walk in the East is West Point and lower Manhattan, the Midwest can claim Chicago Lakefront, the south offers, Savannah, GA, Charleston, SC and of course the West can claim nearly all the walks in California and the Far West has spectacular Alaska and not to be forgotten the tropical Aloha state of Hawaii.

Will all this walking and quilting continue? Quilting, yes, walking, maybe.
