Driving School for Bad Girls

Dave did not get a ticket.
I did. It was in June and it was a speeding ticket, for doing 50mph in a 35mph zone. I decided to take the drivers class to keep the ticket off my record and insurance.
I must be there at 8 am or be locked out, and it is 7am now. Am I ready? No. Am I blogging instead...obviously.
There has been a lot of fabric dyeing going on around here and hence no art content. But I have plans and I will have a new piece this weekend. I promise.

But very good news for us here in the Midwest, and for those who like to visit us.
Next year, November 9-12, 2006, right after the big Houston International Quilt Festival, the Mancuso's are holding a big quilt show in Schaumburg IL, about 30 minutes from my house (even if I do the legal speed limit). Frieda and I are both going to teach there, yippee! At last I can say I am teaching in IL! This is going to be in a brandy-new-spankin' convention center and Renaissance Marriot Hotel. And it's all right next door to IKEA!!!

Off to the shower and driving school for me.

  1. You must bring a sketch book or a very inconspicuous mp3 player. You are in for a dull dull dull day. Ask me how I know.

  2. Bummer on the ticket, but Yay on the close-to-home teaching gig! I looked on the Mancuso site and didn't see the show listed yet....is it one of their World Quilt & Textile venues next year or a brand new thing they're just starting?

    Dave's new car is gorgeous. Looks like something that would get a speeding ticket sitting at the curb --- but gorgeous! :-)

  3. Can you knit during driving school? If it's a dedicated day of knitting, then that might not be so bad....

  4. Steve got a ticket while we were on vacation in May - going 85 in a 35 posted road in the desert of CA. We were almost on the interstate. It was 9 am on a Sunday morning. He did traffic school on the internet. Can you believe that? He got the ticket erased!

  5. Was it in the little red car? Tickets are the worst. We're overrun with speeding cameras here.
