The day is almost here!
Tomorrow I get on the plane to visit my mom and then off to an adventure of a lifetime with Amy Butler.
Back Story -
I met Amy and David Butler at Houston Fall Market in 2014.
I shared my book and quilts, we talked for a while.
I met up with her again that evening... Few of her pals were also there.
After a picture or two she said, "After meeting you we have been thinking all day of may be traveling to India."
To which I responded, "Seriously? Can I go with you?"
Amy asked, "Really? Would you consider coming with us? We'd love that!"
In my head of course I was saying, "This is not happening.. Someone please pinch me!"
Few days later, when I came home from Houston, I had a note from Amy in my inbox about planning our trip together. I knew she was as sincere to go on this trip as me wanting to visit my mom.
We have spent many months planing for upcoming two weeks in India. Two of us are traveling to Jaipur, Rajasthan and Kutch, Gujarat for an unforgettable experience. We will be exploring the palaces and markets, forts and mud huts, folk artists and museums, meet ralli quilters and embroidery artists, block printers to learn from the best. All to plan out a textile tour for early 2017.
Last year's visit to India is still fresh in my head. I am thrilled to be going home again.
Those of you who have been asking about a possible tour to India, Stay tuned!
Follow us if you will on this colorful journey. I will be posting pictures on this blog, on instagram @therootconnection and on fb www.facebook.com/TheRootConnection
