As you can see, there will be plenty to do in Carlsbad this weekend. This is an invitation to all who say there is nothing to do in our fair city. Come on, get off the couch and out of your house, and join us.

Yay, comments fixed! I was just gonna do some triage and see if I could help...
Oh, rub it in about Carlsbad. And a quilt show? I am a struggling student of this ancient art.
If you go, could you take some snap shots and post 'em, or do they let you do that?
CP - I will swing by on my way home from school tomorrow and snap a few quilt pics for you. I have one on the computer now that you might like. I did all the research and work on an article about the house in Carlsbad that has been occupied by the same family for the longest time. Then they decided they didnt want me to publish. RRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Anyway she is a quilter and she had this cool quilt made from ties. I'll email that pic to you.
