I still
had the car – my plan was to keep it until I needed to be at the airport for my
flight this afternoon. I was over hotel breakfasts. Sure they are free, but
there is pretty much nothing that is not processed. You can smell the chemicals
as you walk by. So I ate at IHOP – it was as good as I remembered. I tried the
Country Fried steak with gravy. Mmmm.
At the
Quilting Museum I saw some amazing miniatures. The work of Diane Gaudynski was
amazing to see close up. I also saw a SAQA exhibition ‘Food for Thought’. The
other quilts were nice, but a tad on the boring side I have to say.
In a
side room was ‘quilt’ carved from wood by Fraser Smith. Photography was not
allowed anywhere in the museum, but there was a sample piece of his work that
you could handle and photograph.
I loved
the stained glass windows in the foyer area.
Paducah
also has a Quilt Trail, so of course I had to try to find some quilts on buildings.
Quite a
few were also on the Quilt in a Day warehouse building.
What a welcoming little area!
Relatively
new to the scene is this maker space called (surprise!) Make. I loved it!
Today
was sunny which changed my feelings about Paducah for the positive.
I left
Paducah on a 4pm flight, heading for Coumbus Ohio via Chicago. At Columbus I
picked up a car and drove to Athens. I should have gone south, but headed east
at first. I knew something was wrong when the road started getting narrower and
narrower and more suburban. Thank god for wireless and mobile phones. I checked
the map and got on track.
I
finally checked in at midnight. Even the longest day comes to an end.
