What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It was a good day to explore Denali National Park and Preserve yesterday. We waited for the skies to clear. By the time we'd driven the 26 miles to the north, the sun was shining and the sky was blue. I snapped this picture at the park entrance. These days, I can't capture a sign at a national park without a bunch of photobombers in the way.

Good morning, my friends. It's our last morning in Fairbanks. We'll be heading to Cantwell, Alaska, next, where we're told we'll have the best views of Denali. The weather is looking a little iffy over the three days we'll be in the area. Also, smoke from Canada's wildfires (I'm so sorry, Canada) has drifted to our part of the world. I guess we'll see what we'll see and be happy to have seen it.

For now, let's talk about the wildlife sanctuary visit from yesterday. It was a peaceful and ...

Good afternoon, my friends. I'm writing to you from Fairbanks, Alaska, this afternoon. I'll tell you about today's drive in tomorrow's post. For now, I want to tell you about the quilt shop in Delta Junction. I was surprised to find a quilt shop in such a small town. Apparently the long dark and cold winters encourage quilting. 

It was a long, narrow store, and small in size ...

Good morning, my friends. We hit the end of the road today...not the end of the trip. We reached the end of the Alcan Highway. Like I said, there was a place for an obligatory selfie. Happily, the marker is located at the Visitor Center in Delta Junction. A very nice man greeted us there and offered to take our picture.

But let's just back up to the beginning of our day. Of course, we enjoyed more stunning views of the mountains. The scenery never gets old.

Good morning, my friends! We find ourselves in Whitehorse this morning. Yesterday turned into a banner day. It started with a short and scenic day of driving, followed by a visit to a quilt shop, followed by trip to Miles Canyon, which has been called the Grand Canyon of the Yukon. I'll save the quilt shop and Miles Canyon for separate posts. (I have too many pictures.) This morning I'll tell you about the day's drive.

First, from the list of Random Things I Noticed, the bread clips in Canada are made of cardboard. With the overabundance ...

Good morning, my friends! This morning we find ourselves at Teslin Lake Campground, a Yukon Government campground. It is lovely here. And it completed a day of mountain views. 

Right away after leaving Watson Lake, the mountains began to appear.

And we're told it will be even more beautiful when we reach Alaska.

This next one had less snow than the others, but still a frosting at the top.

Lovely. It was a beautiful drive all the way.

We ran into the first hint of bad ...

 Okay, so I mentioned we'd visited a quilt shop in my previous post. Now I'm back to tell you all about it. Here's how it looked from the front.

The woman working there told me they had a presence on Facebook.

In their display window, they had a few vintage sewing machines.

And a spinning wheel. As long as I live, I'll be grateful I was born after the time when I had to spin my own thread.

Good morning, my friends. We'll be heading out again this morning. Before I talk about our next stop, let's back up to yesterday's activities. We had a day of rest and took care of a few "life" things. There's a pretty nice laundry at this park where we're staying, and so it seemed like a good idea to wash a load of socks and underwear. We're five days into the trip in which we each packed enough socks and underwear to get us through a week. Right now, the biggest challenge with laundry is ...

Good morning, my friends. Well, we've made it to the first sight-seeing stop of our trip. Dawson Creek is the beginning of the Alcan Highway. Now that we're here, it occurs to me that we're really doing two trips this time around. We're touring Alaska, but we're also making something of a pilgrimage by traveling the entire length of this historic highway. You can read more about it at that link I've given you. Here's a little image of the route we'll be taking between Dawson Creek and Delta Junction.
