Pittsburgh, are you ready?


Headed to Pittsburgh, PA for Quilt Market? Will I see you there?
I was "researching" the town a little (to find out how far I was from shopping if I were to be so inclined even though I usually am not but I will walk miles in the snow to get to a bookstore. I proved it in Salt Lake City. To be fair, I didn't know it would be miles or snowing and I did need a book. I pack more carefully now.) and I ran across sites with "pittsburghese" and now I am very interested to order a "Di-et Co-oke" somewhere just to see whether I'll be able to communicate at all. I'll let you know.
It's a pretty picture, right? I'd probably be all excited about going if I could drive there from here. I really dislike flying. As it is, I'll be excited once I get there. I think.

Hey Material Girl!
If you can get there at all, I bet you would TOTALLY love Manchester-Bidwell in Pittsburgh. They have quilts, photography, pottery that were created by students (some of whom are even older than me, I think).
I haven't been there, but I read about it and it sounds amazing.
Check out ManchesterBidwell.org and click on Manchester Craftsman's Guild.
Oh I hope you get to go there!
Have fun!
