What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It was kind of a nasty day weather-wise. We had some dry spells, but we also had some real downpours of rain while we were out and about yesterday. We're hoping for better weather today. We have a plan to take a walk in historic downtown Bowling Green. We'll see how the morning plays out. The forecast isn't looking promising. In any case, we're having lunch at a nearby brewery in hopes of scoring another beer t-shirt for Erik.

Good morning, my friends. It's a good thing I have lots of pictures for you today. We can both just sit back and relax. I did almost nothing yesterday. The day off was very nice, and I'm happy to report my pain level is back to pretty much zero. (At my age, we're not ever quite at zero.) 

The only thing I accomplished yesterday was getting Smitty out for some more Cattucky grass.

The people with the big woofies moved on and so the space beside us was empty. I've realized if I carry him around ...

This morning, I was able to sleep a little longer. Then I got everything ready for my embroidery meeting. 

I was out the door early, hoping to stop at Colleen's, but she didn't answer my text till I was already halfway to embroidery.  So, I stopped and got tea at McD's. Then headed over to the grange. There was 4 of us. 

I forgot my goldwork at home. After I even put the wire in there to make sure I could work on it. So, I pulled out my butterfly and worked on it instead. After about ...

Good morning, my friends. We've moved on down the road this morning. We're in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, which is just about 20 miles from Bardstown, Kentucky. This is where Mike gets to check a few things off his bucket list, starting with the bourbon distilleries. So, I'll tell you about our plans for the area in a bit, but let's go back to where yesterday started. 

We were in no hurry to leave the previous spot, and that gave me plenty of time to work on my slow-stitching yesterday morning. I filled my hoop.

Today I was up with Patrick. He headed to golfing and I wanted on Gerilyn to pick me up. We had our embroidery meeting today. 

We arrived on time with Sandy and Cindy there. Sandy 2 from Ocean Shores came today as well. It was so good to see everyone! We sat and chatted. Then mom called and asked if she could visit, told her I was at the grange and she could come over. She did. 

I worked on my goldwork. I'm so close to finishing this now! 

Good morning, my friends. We had a day of running around Branson yesterday. There were four items on our to-do list, and we accomplished all four. 

The morning started with me taking the first stitches on the third block for Grandpa's Bridges. Somehow it seems like the right trip to have started these embroidered quilt blocks.

On our way to the quilt shop, we spotted this guy. Yeah...I don't know.

Good morning, my friends. What a fun day of sight-seeing we had yesterday. I’m here to tell you all about it. As usual, I took too many pictures. I’ve tried to winnow them down, but not very successfully. Since I can’t figure out what parts to leave out, I’m going to break this into two posts again. 

Before getting on our way, I had some time to press the newest Kittens block. This is the 9th of 12 blocks.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to the "Show Me" state. Just now I had to inquire of The Google to ask why Missouri is the "Show Me" state. I found a couple of answers right here.

Looking out Mike's window, it looks like this:

The Arkansas River is the same river we saw when we visited the Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City ...

Good afternoon, my friends. We've had a good day here at the state park. I'll tell you about this morning's hike in tomorrow's post. For now, I want to back up and tell you about the quilt shop. We needed to kill some time between checking out of the Hot Springs KOA and checking in at the state park. A quilt shop seems to me to be the perfect way to kill some time. I selected this one for its proximity and for its large parking lot. Since we'd checked out of the RV park ...
