The weather condition hither inwards Hemet has been changeable as well as wetter than usual. Fortunately, it most frequently rains at nighttime as well as thence stays dry out during the daylight hours. It rained pretty difficult Wed nighttime into Th morning, but Th was dry out amongst bluish heaven as well as puffy white clouds. I worked on my embroidery inwards the morn as well as finished upwards the northwest corner.
Now I receive got but a footling chip left to produce inwards the southwest corner.
It's hooped upwards as well as laid for this morning's stitching. I dubiousness I'll complete it today, but you lot but never know.
So afterward that, I got out for a walk. I didn't quite brand my steps yesterday, but I got close. We had a appointment amongst our friends Lenelda as well as Bill at the Wilson Creek Winery. This 1 was but a footling ways downwards the route from the Chapin Family Winery nosotros visited concluding week.
This is 1 of the larger wineries, as well as the grounds in that place were lovely. They had grapevines stamped into their concrete sidewalks.
The buildings themselves wrapped all but about this courtyard where in that place were tables for sitting. There was also a creek amongst a yoke of bridges as well as this was a real prissy house to pass a sunny afternoon. To the correct inwards the paradigm below was the door to the restaurant, as well as nosotros headed in that place for some luncheon first.
Certainly 1 cannot receive got luncheon at a winery without enjoying a drinking glass of wine, as well as thence nosotros imbibed.
After that, nosotros headed to the tasting room. We had two-for-one coupons, available on the website. Regular cost was 5 tastings for $20, but at 2 for one, it was $10 per caput for us. Mike as well as Lenelda had a alternative of reds. Bill as well as I enjoyed their sparkling wines. The tasting fee also includes the glass. Mike as well as I receive got all 4 of our glasses. We're belongings the spectacles hostage until Bill as well as Lenelda come upwards to pay us a watch at the Three Cats Ranch B & B inwards Oregon. Actually, Bill as well as Lenelda are flight dorsum to their dwelling household inwards Texas, as well as thence you lot mightiness tell nosotros receive got the spectacles inwards protective custody. I similar the hostage consider better.
After all that wine, nosotros took a brusk walk upwards into the vineyards. There, this poster was sort of interesting.
It was a pretty day...on the coolish side...but withal prissy plenty to endure out. The heaven was pretty amongst those puffy white clouds.
Up the hill, they were setting upwards for a wedding. The employee in that place told us they tin concur equally many equally 5-6 weddings inwards a calendar week in that place at the winery. It would endure a prissy venue, as well as in that place were other marriage ceremony venues correct hither at this same winery.
After that, nosotros made some other trip to Temecula Quilt Co. I visited hither concluding week, but Lenelda hadn't been before. Heck, I'm ever upwards for a watch to whatever quilt shop, whatever time.
You mightiness hollo back this paradigm from the post nigh my concluding visit.
I didn't discovery this on my commencement visit, but those blocks are all signature blocks. I wondered how they were collected. H5N1 asking on the Temecula Quilt Co. blog, perhaps? Many are from Temecula, but in that place were plenty from out of field equally well.
Also, I noticed this quilt folded as well as lying on a shelf nether the cutting table. The store employee told me it was made past times the owner's grandmother. Hexie yo-yos! These were nigh the size of a quarter.
My ain grandmother made a yo-yo quilt too. Hers was made from half-dollar sized yo-yo's, as well as it's pictured inwards the paradigm below. I can't fifty-fifty imagine the patience it must receive got to brand something similar this.
Don't hold off for anything similar this to come upwards out of my sewing room.
Oh yes, as well as I must receive got had my eyes shut when I passed past times the ruler boxes concluding trip because in that place they were, correct at oculus level.
They came inwards several sizes. I tin exclusively tell I must receive got been blinded past times fabric.
I came away amongst this one. I move out on a footling box of tools...scissors, tweezers, stylus, as well as seam ripper (not that I receive got a ask for a seam ripper, or anything). I've been using an ugly metallic box that came amongst something else. This 1 volition endure a prissy souvenir.
So that was our day, as well as nosotros enjoyed it. Good food, expert wine, expert friends...can't vanquish that. The quilt store was the icing on the cake.
Today volition endure a less fun day...grocery shopping...and you lot know how I experience nigh that. For now, I'll produce some stitching. That ever gets the twenty-four hours off to a expert start no affair what's on the agenda.
