Hello again.

It is so good to be home, the USA is beautiful but there really is no place like home.We were gone for a month, had a really nice trip. No vehicle trouble, for which I am so very thankful.We were in 21 states,drove almost 8000 miles. Saw some beautiful country. Went to at least 10 quilt shops. ( Pictures soon, I hope), Of course, I spent wayyyyyyyyy too much money, but hey, a girl has to have her stash, Right....*VBG* I took a lot of pictures, just learning to use my new camera. Hubby said I took about 1500, glad its a digital,otherwise couldn't afford to have them developed.Will sort through them soon, but I HAVE BEEN PIECING A QUILT.I haven't sewed in about 10 weeks, that has been way too long. Started this quilt for my new nephew, but do not
like the way it is turning out. The fabrics just seem as though they are for an older child. Yes, I know he is going to get older, but I want him to have a "baby" quilt. So next week will start another one. I sure do have enough fabric...*VBS*****, but tomorrow I intend to put the last border on the top and then will wait to quilt it until after I get the "baby" quilt finished.
I could write a lot more, we had some wonderful times on this trip,including our 50th. anniversary. Will tell you about that in my next post. Take care everyone and keep quilting memories..Later...

Glad you are back. Can't wait to hear and see more of your trip. Aren't digital cameras great? You can take pictures with wild abandon not to worry about wasting film.

Ohh lucky you, a road adventure with plenty of quilt shops thrown in. I'm really looking forward to more pictures.
