Ricky's Historic Route 66 Tour is just around the corner. They head out of Chicago on June 16th and finish up in Los Angeles on June 29th while passing through Missouri, Oklahoma, Santa Fe, and New Mexico. On the tour Ricky will be offering historical information and each day there will be a theme. If you'd like to learn more about the tour, click here.
Ricky, however, isn't the only one fascinated by this historic travel route. This year at Road to California they premiered the Route 66 Traveling Quilt Exhibit. The intent was to have a collection of quilts representing the eight states that create the route. We were lucky enough to have photo man, Gregory Case, at Road to California this year and he brought us back some great pictures of the exhibit.

The exhibit was curated by Patt Blair and Kelly Gallager-Abbott and sponsored by Ginger's Quilt Shoppe.
