TO READY TO SEW BERNINA
IN CEDAR PARK
Approximate driving time: 2hrs + a bit

This is our longest drive without a "quilt shop fix" so buckle up and get going. This will take you a little over 2 hours so we might need to make a few rest stops along the way. You should see some great bluebonnets and scenery along this route.

After pulling out of Cindy's parking area, go to the right... in the direction of the stoplight. Go thru the intersection and keep going until you have to turn... go to the Right. The street sign says Main Street, but it is also Hwy 290. You are now headed straight for Johnson City... it's about 30 miles.

Once you get into Johnson City, there is a great place to stop and have a bite to eat (great hamburgers)... it's the Silver K Cafe in the old lumberyard. As you go thru the "downtown" area of Johnson City, you will pass a light at Nugent Avenue. You will see the Silver K Cafe on your left just a block up. Highly recommend it if you are hungry!

As you continue on thru Johnson City , veer to your Left at the 281 Intersection. Then turn Left onto 281 North headed for Marble Falls... it's 23 miles. If you need gasoline or just a quick rest stop, there is Round Mountain about 13 miles up the road. They have a clean restroom and good coffee...

You are going to go all the way into Marble Falls, it's about 5 miles past the turn off for Hwy 71. If you are hungry and want some "home cooking", you might try the Bluebonnet Cafe--- nothing fancy but good food. Bluebonnet Cafe is on the right side shortly after you pass the bridge.

We are going to turn to the Right on 1431. There is a sign that points the way to Cedar Park and also a Texaco station on the right. Cedar Park is 38 miles. This is a Farm to Market road so it will test your driving skills. It's a two lane road in portions, but it's great for some really beautiful Hill Country scenery. Those of you who are City Slickers will get to cross a cattleguard on this road...so be sure to watch out for livestock and wildlife! The last part of this road becomes a 4 lane highway so forge ahead. You will definitely be able to tell when you reach civilization. It's only about 20 miles to Lago Vista so the twisting and turning portion of this drive isn't too long. Lago Vista is also a great spot to find lots of gas stations if it's time for that.

You're almost there...
You will keep driving on 1431 until you cross 183. You can't miss it... lots of signage and the Pedernales Electrical poles are on the right. Continue thru this intersection. You will go straight, passing under 183A Toll, about 3 miles until you see the Home Depot on your right.

• (Potential side trip for food--- If it is looking like it's time to get something to eat, Moonies has been highly recommended for some great burgers. You will turn Right on 183 and go less than 2 miles. Moonies will be on the left next to Sonic. (The actual address is 200 S. Bell, but it is actually 183.) Moonies has great sweet potato fries and even snowcones.)

Once you get to the Home Depot, continue just a bit further and turn in to the Right at the Whataburger. After you turn, you will see HEB in the shopping center to your Left. Ready to Sew Bernina is 3 doors from HEB.
