Tomorrow morning we leave on our trip to Oregon. We'll be gone about 5 weeks, spending time with our DS & family, BIL, Arches National Park, Yellowstone National Park, etc. Today we load the camper.
Liri at Liriopia's Legacy sent me this Texas stitchery when she sent my blocks for the block swap and I wanted to make it into a little wall hanging. I came across some scraps of Texas fabric (which I had looked for and couldn't find), so I decided to make it up. I quilted right across the embroidery and it turned out OK! I'm going to hang it in the camper!
Western fabric on the back.
Well, I better get busy packing. I'll try to post some pictures along the way! Remembering our veterans and service members over the weekend too.
Happy trails!!
ReplyDeleteI hope we get the opportunity to meet up!!
Isn't Liri a sweetheart?! Such a darling piece, and you finished it off perfectly, (love those fabrics), just in time for your trip so everywhere you go, people will know you are a proud Texan! *grin* Sounds like a wonderful trip you have planned!
ReplyDeleteI hung my American flag on the front porch this morning, and will be remembering your son who serves, as well as all the others serving around the world. My thanks goes out to all those who have served in the past also, so that we might still be free!
Have a safe trip! ---"Love"
Your work is really beautiful, and you do such great work. Have a fun and safe trip, my friend. Happy Quilting!
