My 4th ... read more
We're less than a week from heading home now. Yesterday we spent some time talking about whether to head straight home or make a stop off in Death Valley along the way. The campgrounds in Death Valley were closed when we started our trip, and so we didn't get to make our annual stop at our favorite national park. It seems like a good place to stop for a day or two before we begin the trek home, although nothing has been decided yet. Monday, Mike and I will be eligible for our vaccines in Oregon. I'm ...

read moreIt was a grocery day today, and so we were up and out early. Now, just after 11:00 a.m., we're good to go for at least another week. I'm hoping we can avoid grocery shopping again before we get home, but that's probably overly optimistic. It's another two weeks, I'm guessing, before we're back at the Three Cats Ranch.
Yesterday was a leisurely morning. We had lunch planned, but we weren't meeting up with our friends until 1:00 p.m. It meant a slow morning. I stitched yesterday's inchy ...

This week's block is one of my favorites—mainly because it has the cast-on stitch as the center focal point. The cast-on stitch can be a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you can do so many things with it ...

We had a nice lunch with our friends yesterday afternoon. It's always good to get together and catch up. Mike's sister will be visiting today, and we'll be heading out to the Oceanside Pier with her. We have meets with friends set up for Thursday, Friday, and Monday as well, so we've turned into social butterflies. It was the point of coming here. We're being very careful in our meet-ups, maintaining distance and wearing masks when we can't. Several of our friends have already been vaccinated, and so the risk is somewhat less. We ...

Yippee! My Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs quilt has made it to the finish line. It has been a lovely quilt to work on and I am now looking forward to catching up with Anni Downs next design.
Quilting done and binding finished.

Lots of fun, quirky blocks in this quilt. They are all entertaining but here are a couple of favourites.


I think a quirky quilt needs a fun backing as well, so I chose these bicycles.

And to finish it off I used a blue batik for the binding, similar in colour to some of the wool used ...

There was no sewing yesterday, although I did start the day by stitching my inchy. This was another devoted to fly stitch.
