What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends, and yahoo!!! Yesterday I added a new state to the side of the RV. It's been months since I added anything to the map. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay? Please hold your applause for a bit. 

It was an easy drive from Mt. Pleasant, Texas, to Hot Springs, Arkansas. This was our view for most of the day. We are still surprised at how green it is in this part of Texas. I might have thought we were driving in Michigan or Minnesota.

Good morning, my friends. It was a short drive with plenty going on yesterday. We find ourselves in Fort Stockton, Texas, for three nights (two now).

The landscape on TX-17 looks similar to what we saw when we visited Chiricahua National Monument.

Topping a rise, we came upon this escarpment. I tried to identify it with what the Google could tell me about Texas ...

 Good morning, my friends, and Happy Easter to all who celebrate. 

I'll admit that Easter is kind of a non-event around here, except that Matthew has a birthday coming up on April 2nd. He'll hit the big 4-0 this year. Every year since his birth, I've checked to see if Easter would fall on his birthday. So far, it hasn't. And since Easter baskets are no longer a part of our lives, Easter gets short shrift. Nevertheless, I remember attending Easter sunrise services with my mom, especially when my dad was deployed to Vietnam. She often ...

I am hand finishing the binding on one of the quilts I’m currently working on, so it went along on the trip to the ranch Thursday so I could stitch during the drive. It’s a commission for a dear friend, pieced from her late father’s shirts, and a neutral fabric I purchased for the sashing.… Continue reading Memorial Quilt in the Wild

Good morning, my friends. We had a fabulous day yesterday. The weather was dry and relatively warm. We even had some sun breaks for our day at the outskirts of San Francisco. The lighthouse didn't open until 12:30 pm, and so we had a leisurely morning. I started some chili in the slow cooker, and then I baked this scaled-down recipe of Debi's Skillet Cornbread to make it a "for two" recipe. It worked out great.

Good afternoon, my friends. Sheesh. What a day! It isn't that we drove so far, but the weather was just terrible on our way to Petaluma. Now we're here, and our new Starlink system has some kind of problem. The resident engineer is working on it now. Thankfully, I have a good cell signal at the moment, and so I can check in with you via my personal hotspot until he figures out what's wrong with it. He thinks "something has died." If that's the case, I'm not sure how we'll deal with it ...

Good evening, my friends. It's been a long day, made longer by the crappy weather we've seen so far on this trip. Thank goodness we've had some sun breaks, but mostly we've had drenching rain. Fortunately, the wind has died down from the first night of our trip. We had a quieter and better night of sleep last night.

Even though I'm calling it a long day, it was a relatively short day mileage-wise. When I planned this trip, I gave us much shorter driving days than we've done in the past. We decided ...

Good afternoon, my friends. Well, a lot has changed since I wrote last time. I believe I told you we'd changed our plans after learning about a big Snowpocalypse headed toward the Siskiyou Summit. Well, we've changed our plans again. After watching the weather forecast for the local area last night, we realized snow would be dumping into literally all the mountain ranges surrounding us. We had to leave home this morning or risk having problems getting over the coastal mountains. We went into panic packing mode, and we drove away from the Three Cats Ranch this morning ...

Good morning, my friends. I'll admit I had my doubts about connectivity here in tiny Mt. Vernon, Oregon, but we have five bars on our cell phones and the signal is booming in. Today will be the last leg of our journey. When I write to you after today, we'll be home at the Three Cats Ranch.

When we left Winnemucca yesterday, it was more straight-as-an-arrow roadways. It makes sense when you consider the "Great Basin" encompasses the entire state of Nevada. It's a series of smaller basins with straight road from one ridge to the next ...
