I have a couple photos to share from our trip to Oregon where we are visiting our son and family.

| We camped at the County Fairgrounds in Burns, OR. The full moon was shining and we were the only ones camping there. When I went to the house of the manager to see if we could stay there, he opened the door in his long johns! |
I went to another quilt shop with the Quilting Babcia. This one is going out of business and everything is on sale. When my GD found out, she wanted to go too, so I went again the next day and bought more fabric, but didn't take a picture of all of it.
I have been doing some piecing this week. Below, I'm piecing 9-patches with the leftover blue fabric from my basket BOM. I don't have my May baskets all appliqued yet, but they are pinned on and ready to go. I think I finished 4 of the 12 and this week, I'll get the June fabric! I also have been piecing some sawtooth stars that finish at 4". I plan to make pillowcases for our bed with the stars in the border.
My GD turns 21 on Thursday and wants to spend her birthday sewing with me. I have done some of the piecing on her Bricks & Stepping Stones quilt and she wants to have all the bricks out of different fabrics (she needs 180). She has gone through all my fabrics that I have with me and also purchased a lot. I told her I would quilt it when she finishes it.
Thanks for visiting!
This brings back a lot of good memories. Many years ago we stayed in a cottage on the Metolious river, I could sit out on the little porch and watch hubby fly fish while was doing handiwork. no tv, no phones. One of our best vacations. To grocery shop I had to go into Sisters. In early 2000s, we went to the Sisters quilt show. Enjoy.
