Route 66 Road Trip

So, I want to plan a road trip this summer with my friend. Has anyone ever done this before or know anything to recommend? I will take any and all recommendations. Places to see, places to stay, places to eat at. I want to map out my trip before I go. Please post a comment. Thanks

I Spy Fabric Swap

The Basics:

Mail 200 squares to me by February 28th. Get 200 squares back, all different, by St. Patty's Day.

The Details:

1. There is no size limit to this. If you would like to participate, please comment under this posting. This swap is for US residents only. Please mail your fabrics so I get them on time.

2. Cut 20 4" squares out of each of 10 different novelty print fabrics. A 1/4-yard cut or fat quarter will get you 20 4" squares, so you will be purchasing a total of about 2 1/2 yards of fabric. This is NOTHING when you think about all the different squares you will be getting back!

3. In order to avoid duplicates, everyone will need to search out unusual or obscure prints. Look for things that aren't available at chain stores. But, please pick FUN ones! If you love it, the other swappers will love it too!

4. Remember that we are looking for fabrics with objects on it, not printy-prints. (A fabric with FLOWERS on it is different from a FLORAL PRINT.)

5. No "licensed" prints: No Disney, Dora, Celtics, etc.

6. Remember seam allowances! Be sure you can tell what you are looking at within a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square. Nobody wants only half of an object in their square -- cut them well! (Depending on your fabric choice, you may need to buy more than 1/4 yard in order to get an object into each cut square.)
