Hello from Vancouver, Washington. Took a little side trip yesterday to Multanomah Falls, OR. It was a beautiful sunny day and the only one predicted this week so I took advantage. Did a little hike and some scenic driving including crossing the Bridge of the Gods which crosses the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. Lovely day topped off by homemade Chicken Pot Pie.
What little I have to share, I will linkup with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.
Under the Needle Last Week
As I am traveling since Thursday last week until either Saturday or Sunday this week, not a lot to share but I do have a few things.
- I finally cut and trimed the rail fence blocks for my Sharks colored quilt for my son Steven,
- While I was at it, I pulled two more strip sets to sew when I get home,
- As well as cutting the December Monthly Color Challenge blocks. The color is gold.
So not much to report but something. I did bring an EPP project, but so far have not had any time to work on it.
