If you are sitting at home reading this and looking for some saturday fun – the next session of the Brew Fest starts @ 5 PM.

Well I hopped in my gas guzzling machine and headed out to the quilt show at CCAC boyce. The Pittsburgh quilt is absolutely worth the trip. I am standing here looking at an amazing work of Pittsburgh. This quilt is made up of 33,000 square – signed by over 100,000 people. The story of the quilt is fascinating. The quilt was literally lost for the past 19 years. Members of the Quilt Company East started looking for it and they finally found it in the archives of the science center. Thia wonderful quilt quild has spent over 300 hours cleaning and restoring the quilt, which is massive in size, so that it could be displayed this weekend. They even have the origional brochures from the exhibit in 1989.
The quilt show runs until 5 today and from 10 – 3 tomorrow. Admission is $ 5. In addition to the Pittsburgh quilt there are tons of other amazing quilts to see here.
I will post some additional pictures to flickr. Click on the photo above to see more.

Way better than ice cream…

It would be easy to drive past this place unless you have tried frozen custard before you might think this is just another ice cream stand. Glen’s is a bit of a drive, but it is worth it. I really don’t know how frozen custard differs from ice cream, but it is amazing. They always have vanilla and chocolate and one other flavor – today it is banana. There is also a mini golf course right behind the shop. Just take Freeport road out to cheswick. Glen’s is right on Freeport road.
