A PARADE, RODEO AND LITTLE QUILTS

Over the weekend we went to visit DH's brother and our DIL in central Oregon.  There was a parade and a rodeo, not to mention a quilt show!  On the way there we stopped in Sisters and I went into The Stitchin' Post.  Didn't buy anything, but it was fun to look around to see what they have.  I also didn't take any pictures in the quilt show.  Bad me.

The parade was on Saturday morning and we saw lots of Rodeo Princesses from different counties.




I didn't take any pictures at the rodeo - or I should say that the ones I took didn't turn out because we were in the last row of the stands, way up high.  But on the way home, we stopped to take a picture of Mount Washington.

 Last week I was reading Kathie's blog (Inspired by Antique Quilts) and she asked if she had inspired anybody to make a postage stamp quilt.  I have a small basket overflowing with 1 1/2" strips and squares, so I got it out and decided to make some 4-patches.  I set them on point for either small doll quilts - or I might make them to hang on the back of some chairs.  Be sure to check out Kathie's June 24 post about the postage stamp quilt she is making.



What will I work on this week?  Maybe I'll make a couple more doll quilts or I could work on my Dear Jane blocks.  Wednesday is the inspection of the house we are buying.  I can't wait to see it again!
