I'm PUZZLED!!!!
from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!
Creative block!!! Where do I start this morning?
Just kidding! All I need to do is write one word, and then the rest just follows. I have more to write about The Artist's Way, but I'm leaving that until tomorrow.
Lots of things happened yesterday, and they were very exciting. Let's take a look. I recently went through my pending folder, which was exploding, and I did quite a bit of checking things off the list yesterday morning. So that was a positive way to get some paperwork done. There are a few more papers on the ...

Out and About
from Humble Quilts
This was so charming! Seen in an antique store.
While Christy was navigating she saw on the map Daniel Boones boyhood home. (At least where he was born) It wasn't far off the route at all.
The day was beautiful and because the museum was closed we were the only ones walking aruond!

The Daniel Boone Homestead, the birthplace of American frontiersman Daniel Boone, is a museum and historic house that is administered by the Friends of the Daniel Boone Homestead near Birdsboro in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
I couldn't help but start singing this old song!

Historical Friday
from Humble Quilts
Last week a friend and I made a trip to PA. But first we stayed downtown in the historic area in Philadelphia. I love history! (Scroll to the end to see a little quilt related post)
Philadelphia, founded in 1682 by William Penn, played a pivotal role in American history, serving as the nation's temporary capital and the site of crucial events like the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the drafting of the Constitution.
Philadelphia was the temporary capital of the United States after the Revolutionary War.
Corn Exchange Bank? lol
Independence Hall (above and below) in ...

Ah, September!
from From the Strawberry Patch...
The weather, at long last, has cooled off a bit! Brisk mornings and clear blue-sky afternoons with a slight breeze have been the norm around here this past week; it's a welcome relief~ I'm SO ready! The Dahlias are putting on a colorful show right now. We made another trip north to New England a week ago, a quick back and forth to avoid Labor Day traffic, it's all good. My mother had been

Here to There and Back Again
from From the Strawberry Patch...
We've been on a road trip to the Lakes Region of NH. Spent time with Mom and Dad for both Father's Day and my mother's birthday this past Tuesday. This photo is from five years ago. There have been a lot of changes since 2019. Mom can't physically navigate much anymore, she's a good deal weaker than I've ever seen; it's so hard to watch this happen. But, on the bright side, at 91 and 96 they're

Paducah and Beyond
from Humble Quilts
I loved this exhibit of the US Presidents!
This quilt "spoke" volumes!
Then we hit the road and stopped to see random and not so random things!

We went up up and away in the arch! That was fun!
The view from the other side of the Missouri River
Quick! What's the capital of Missouri?
We stopped at a few of the recommended quilt shops and antique stores.

We like to get off the beaten path sometimes.
I love seeing new areas that I haven't been before! I've covered quite a bit of ground lately!

♫On A Country Road ♪ ♫ In Pennsylvania
from Humble Quilts
My driving host was Maenad.
She picked me up and dropped me off at the Philly airport. (1 1/2-2 hours each way!)
As if that wasn't enough she offered to take me to some quilt shops in Amish country. That was a lot of fun!
The blog title is country roads.... that's no joke!

Our first stop, formally known as Weavers, now Lancaster Home and fabric.
We aren't in Oregon anymore!
She never minded stopping and letting me snap photos!

These look pretty easy to make, but no thank you.
The hat wasn't quite right ...

Road Trip.... Paducah or Bust
from Humble Quilts
First stop, Nashville!
We got in last so had a good night rest before exploring.
We opted for the hop-on, hop-off bus.
So interesting to see this in Nashville!
The Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nashville, Tennessee, United States, is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It was designed by architect William Crawford Smith and built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.
Cumberland River. (Now I want a selvage that says Cumberland!)
The Pickers Nashville antique store.
Marathon Auto Works is a large cool building that houses many little shops and antique displays.

A road trip
from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!
I'm going back to QUILTsocial for a minute. In addition to searching for articles about the machine, the links at the top provide free projects, tutorials, etc.
However, you can also search. The search button is on the extreme right at the top, and you can type in topics. Let's say you want to know about blog posts I've written on piping. Search for piping and add my name, Elaine Theriault, and posts will come up!
The amount of information in those posts will blow you away. I would love to have a website that cross-references my ...

Another Photo Heavy Post!
from Humble Quilts
I'd like to share a few quilt shops we went to on our Midwest road trip. And a few other random photos! In no particular order on my blog:
This first one was jammed packed. It is called The Quilted Moose in Gretna, NE
Since nobody is paying me for reviews, I'll just say this was the least friendly quilt store that we shopped.
Loved Country Sampler in Omaha.
Laurie and I had a conversation about what the Midwest is known for other than corn. She convinced me it was pork! I thought if it was true this ...

Ohio's Miami Valley Quilts in the Museum (Photo heavy!)
from Humble Quilts
Because I made this quilt in 2016 I was really looking forward to seeing the exhibit of Ohio's Miami Valley quilts at the International Quilt Museum!
Here is my finished quilt:
Karen Beigh and I did this one together and she was instrumental in designing our quilts!
These were the books we used.
Sue Cummings book does not have patterns but inspiration.
Anita Shackelford does have patterns in her booklet.
I don't have much to say about these quilts so I'll let you enjoy! They were really incredible!
Loved the quilting!
So doggone cute!
My favorite of ...

Quiet Time
from From the Strawberry Patch...
So, this is a post about Quiet Time. As you can tell from this photo, there's lots of resting and quiet time going on here. This was taken at my parents' home in New Hampshire last week. It was Augie's first road trip and he did extremely well in the car; you would have thought that he was a seasoned road-tripper! He rested nicely on his back seat platform and did what he was supposed to do
