Yesterday I got to operate on the terminal row of blocks for the Shop Hop quilt. Smitty is distressing to reckon this come upward to an end. He loves reminiscing well-nigh our travels finally year.

I sampled the grass at all of these places.


The start block is the contrary colors of approximately other stuff I picked upward inward South Carolina. There, I considered it a "palmetto" fabric. In California, it was a appointment palm. It was difficult to uncovering a regional impress at this shop. Here's a link to the spider web log post I wrote. It was fairly newly opened, too at that spot wasn't a lot to select from. We were staying at the Golden Village Palms RV commons inward Hemet, too thus it worked. I wondered if the store was all the same open, too thus I checked...it appears it is. You tin uncovering the spider web presence for Susan's Quilt Paradise right here.


This side past times side 1 is from 1 of iii stops nosotros made on a rainy twenty-four lx minutes menstruation inward Harrisonburg, Virginia. We were seeing a lot of autumn leaves on this part of our trip, too thus it was slow to select this fabric. Ragtime Fabrics was a large store alongside fabrics too supplies for all kinds of sewing. You tin read my spider web log transportation well-nigh it right here. It was rather disorganized too crowded inward there, but at that spot was a lot to expression at. It appears to all the same last open. You tin uncovering the website right here.


This side past times side store was a sort of a surprise. We'd driven from 1 side of Great Smoky Mountain National Park (in North Carolina) to the other side of the commons (in Tennessee). We had tiffin at a lilliputian eating theater inward Gatlinburg. While nosotros were eating, I inquired of The Google if at that spot was a quilt store nearby. As it turns out...there was! It was located inward a arts and crafts mall non also far away, too thus nosotros stopped in. You tin read my spider web log transportation well-nigh it right here.

I had an stance this was "Susan's" long-arm draw organisation alongside an associated stuff shop. It was a modest shop, but they'd utilized their infinite good too crammed inward a whole lotta merchandise. We'd seen a acquit inward the commons that day, which was quite a thrill, too thus this stuff seemed the perfect choice. Susan's hubby was minding the store piece I was there, too he was somewhat uncomfortable inward his role. He did a expert labor though, too I enjoyed the lilliputian chat I had alongside him. It appears the store is all the same opened upward for business. You tin uncovering its web presence correct here.


This side past times side 1 was a cracking shop. We visited a pair of expert quilt shops during out remain inward Fredericksburg, Texas. As it thus happens, this was the start house where I got a expert expression at the Texas longhorns,


 and thus it was slow to select this fabric. You tin read my spider web log transportation well-nigh One Quilt Place right here.


With several large quilt shops inward the area, Fredericksburg is a quilting community, too thus it doesn't surprise me at all to uncovering the store opened upward for business. You tin uncovering its spider web presence right here.

We spent the Thanksgiving vacation inward Wilmington, North Carolina, too thus it was only a lilliputian chip of a surprise to uncovering this store opened upward on the twenty-four lx minutes menstruation later Thanksgiving. I guess it is Black Friday, but quilt shops don't e'er follow the rules. You tin read my spider web log transportation well-nigh it right here. We'd been eating bluish crab all upward too downwardly the Atlantic coast, too thus it made feel to select this stuff alongside bluish crabs. This store was close Carolina Beach, North Carolina. You tin uncovering its spider web presence right here. We actually enjoyed our take in to this cute lilliputian town.


So I quit when I got that far. I was sort of tired of sewing past times then. There are all the same iii blocks to complete upward too and thus I'll run upward the terminal row onto the residual of the quilt for a finished flimsy.

My shadow self was getting restless, too thus I took her out for approximately other walk. It was all the same quite windy at the go past times of our hill, too thus nosotros drove downwardly into the valley for our walk. This is the path Sue too I take, but nosotros stayed on the apartment part for the day.


Everything is really light-green correct now.


All the fields are freshly planted. It's e'er fun to guess what the farmers induce got planted for the season. Usually it's wheat or oats, but sometimes it's pretty reddish clover.


Here's my favorite barn. It e'er looks dissimilar no thing how many times I reckon it.


There's something well-nigh the parallel furrows of a freshly planted champaign that is really pleasing to my eye.


Nothing is blooming correct now, but at that spot are lots of weed seed heads glinting inward the sunshine.


Also, I saw these friendly cows.


When Sue too I walk, she e'er talks to the lilliputian kids nosotros come across along the way. Me...I verbalise to the animals. This 1 acted every bit if she mightiness approach the fence, but when I paused to beckon her, she stopped. I tin entirely guess what she's thinking well-nigh this stranger standing at her debate talking moo-cow trash to her.


I loved how these white trees looked against the bluish sky. The Luna on the correct was only a bonus.


The orangish pyracantha berries are all the same around, but they aren't every bit bright inward color every bit when they start made an appearance.


Mt. Hood was showing itself across the miles.


And that was my walk. I've been pretty expert well-nigh getting inward my 10k steps, too I'm scoping out how many steps 1 gets inward diverse walks inward the area. Still, I'm looking frontward to leap when the wild flowers volition last inward bloom too I tin demonstrate yous every blooming thing.

Today I demand to become into town too drib off approximately things at the transportation office. As long every bit I'm there, I'll brand a quick trip to the grocery store. That won't accept long, too I'll induce got nutrient to accept us into side past times side week. After that, I'm hoping to complete off the Shop Hop quilt. If there's time, I'll brand the dorsum for it too.

It looks every bit if our string of sunny days is coming to an end, although I don't remember we're expecting pelting to resume until tomorrow.
