What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends! It's the last time I'll be writing to you from Idaho. This morning we'll head out for the Montana state line, stopping next in Dillon, Montana. We'll be there to see Bannack State Park, one of Montana's ghost towns. I don't know about you, but I loves me a good ghost town. Just now, I looked to see if there are any quilt shops there, and there are! I have a feeling I'm going to like this place.

We're off...like a dirty shirt! (That's a Mike-ism. His family made that up. Nobody said they were comedians.) As I'm writing this, we're spending our first night of the trip at our old standby RV park in La Grande, Oregon, Grand Hot Springs RV Resort. We've stayed here often enough that I've lost count. It seems as if it's under new management and with a new name every time we check in. The quality is always the same, however. Nice level spots, and a good day's drive from home. This is ...

Only a fool would try to catch up just now. There is so much to do to get ready for our upcoming big trip it's hard to hold it in my head all at once. Mike really has the lion's share of the work, making sure the RV is ship shape. "Ship shape" seems the wrong term for this..."road worthy" might be better. He noticed a strange wear pattern on one of the tires recently. He thought it was a problem with the trailer suspension, but then realized there was a broken spring. He insists it will ...

It was a lazy morning for me yesterday. After breakfast, I spent some time on my slow-stitching. Sometimes, it makes me sleepy in the way reading a book can cause me to nod off. Eventually, I slid down on the couch for a morning nap. It was late by the time I woke up, and I briefly considered not doing my workout. When I get into arguments with myself about whether or not to exercise, I realize I'm on a slippery slope to quitting altogether, and so I forced myself to do it. It meant I didn't get ...

It was an early start yesterday morning. My friend Sue and I were scheduled to meet up for a walk at Chehalem Ridge Nature Park. I'd read about it only just recently, and wanted to check it out. GPS got me only part of the way there, but the numbers on the addresses were going in the right direction, and so I just kept driving. Eventually the road turned to dirt, which was a little scary. Just a little further on, I came to this sign:

It took me a long time to get going yesterday morning. The gray and rainy weather kills motivation. Even though I was slow getting started, I managed to get most things done that I wanted to. It was time to take the first stitches on my newest embroidery project: A Joyful Journey. I'm barely started with January's block.

The day started out wet, gray, and dark yesterday, but then turned fairly nice in the afternoon. It was even a little bit warm. It didn't really matter to me. I'd already set my sites on sewing, and I was ready to finish off the last fringe on the tablecloth for the Taco block. The first step was to sew on the borders.

Each day, my activity level increases a little bit. It was good to take a couple of lazy days. I spent some time on my slow-stitching in the morning, and stitched what I could of the first pitcher. It's nice using some different colors again.

May 1st was the day I set for myself to get some kind of exercise into my routine once again. Ever since breaking my shoulder in December of 2020, I've been pretty sedentary. For a while it was okay to blame my broken shoulder, but those days have passed. The shoulder is about ...
