Gator Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 I will be heading up to Chantilly, VA (Washington DC) for the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo at the end of the month. Anyone else going to be there? Can't decide if I'll be there Friday or Sat yet (maybe both). I love the diversity of this show, a little bit of everything, sewing, embroidery, quilting.
Primitive1 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 I am planning on going up either on Thurs or Friday....not sure yet which day...Sat is way too busy and way too much traffic on 95...

You mean there is a time when there is less traffic :P:P. I wish I could sneak away and come down for a visit.
Primitive1 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Yes, between 9am and 1pm on weekdays only...but Thurs, and Fri afternoons it becomes a parking lot for people heading south, sat seems to be very heavy both ways and sun afternoon and eve becomes the parking lot again for those returning north...we do all we can to avoid it!
Quilting Heidi Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Mmmm looks like I need to leave my house around 2 or 3 am to hit there during the "good" time. I'll keep it in mind because there is nothing worse than hitting it at a bad time!
Gator Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Posted September 12, 2011 We go camping in Gettysburg several times a year (home). Pulling a 40FT RV is interesting on I-95/495 to say the least. We usually plan our trips so we hit DC around 3AM. However, trying to get through the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel is getting harder everyday, no matter the time. VDOT loves to shut things down at night to "work".
Primitive1 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 We've been saying for years that we need another highway running north and south, when there is an accident...(usually one per day), it becomes an even bigger problem and now with gps's all of the back roads are also backed up.....
Gator Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Posted September 26, 2011 I will be at the show on Friday.
Primitive1 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 Connie, I'll be there Friday too! I'll U2U my cell ph # to you and maybe you can join us for lunch....I am going up with 2 maybe 3 other ladies.... Vicki
Quilting Heidi Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 Oh I want to go! Can't get away though. Enjoy the show!
Primitive1 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Connie, It was nice to see you! Hope you made it home ok, it took us 2 hours to get back to F'bg and we left at 2:20....
