What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

There was plenty to do yesterday with Mike home from work, but there was also plenty of time for sewing. First on my list of priorities was to finish up the Bag Ladies flimsy, and...Ta-Da!

How's your Pinterest? I've been struggling to get on the computer at all. I've been busy cleaning the studio (YAY!) and doing some sewing (happy dance!) 

All that translates to I haven't been pinning. 

But other people have. So let's take a look at their work, shall we? Let's start with some artwork from James McNichols' "Paintings" board.

When we first learned of the existence of the National Ranching Heritage Museum, it seemed moderately interesting. For sure it was something to do. Admission is free, so what the heck?

Our drive from Austin to Fredericksburg was just over an hour. Along the way we saw a lot of ranches. As we got closer to Fredericksburg, we started seeing vineyards and wineries. The terrain changed from mostly flat to hilly, and we realized we'd driven into Texas "hill country."

We passed by the Lyndon Baines Johnson National Historical Park as well as the Texas Rangers Heritage Center. These aren't the kinds of things that interest us, in general, but we may go back and see them if we have time. There wasn't much to see along the ...

Did you ever buy hot lunch at school? My mother hated making brown-bag lunches, and so I always had a hot lunch. I even had a little pouch for my lunch money known as a "money mouse." Just now I checked with my friend Google to see if a tutorial for a money mouse existed, and it does not. I guess the internet isn't the answer for all things, after all.

It's probably lost its functionality by now, but here's how the money mouse worked. It was made from three pieces of felt. Here's a very ...

It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday. We took advantage of the weather and got out for some hiking and general exploration of the areas around the state park. When we left the kitties, they were in their morning nap modes. They were enjoying the sunshine too. Smitty had taken up residence on the back of one of the chairs.

I haven't been posting as often as I'd like, but this upset in my already-crazy life has left me rather crumpled. We're all beginning to put things right in the sense that we're finding our places in this new order. More on our recovery from the fire at our son's home later. Let's enjoy a few pins and forget my insane world.

We had another beautiful day of weather yesterday. We were both out without jackets for the first time in quite a while. It was a long drive from the east side of the park to the west side, and then another long drive south to Cades Cove. We hadn't been on the road for very long when we noticed dozens of cars pulled off on both sides of the road and people running in all directions...in both lanes of traffic, on the narrow park road. It appeared to be either mass hysteria or mass suicidality. This can ever ...

Hey there! Surprisingly, I'm back! We've been on the road for a couple of days, and last night, we left the Blue Ridge Parkway in search of a nearby KOA. The KOA was supposed to be open until the 15th, but it was closed for the season when we arrived. No problem. I checked one of my apps and found a nearby RV park in Hillsville, Virginia, that claimed to be open all year. It was about ten miles down the road, and we found the gates closed when we arrived, along with a sign instructing us to ...

If you thought you were going to get a break from me, then you thought wrong. Here I am...still in Internet Land...still yammering away with my tippy-typing. Geez. I'm here in Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort in Luray, Virginia. And if you think I'm kidding with that name, don't. There's an actual statue of Yogi Bear at the entrance to the park. If I'd been thinking, I'd have taken a picture...and I will, just to prove a point. But that will have to wait until later today. So here's ...
