Back to Square one- Clue #7

Between my dad being in the hospital at the beginning of the month and then being on vacation in Oregon for 11 days, I did not get this clue done. 

However here is a picture of the cut out pieces and the three completed Log Cabin blocks. 

Will complete them as soon as possible and then go on to Clue#8

Craft Stuff bought on Vacation

No vacation is complete without stopping at Quilt Shops!

First stop -> Stitchin Post in Sisters, Oregon
Found some fabrics, a fun pattern and a bag from their annual quilt show

Second Stop-> Joy of Quilting in Florence, Oregon
Found some good fabrics for Quilt of Valor quilts, a fabric for a baby quilt and a fun Christmas wall hanging pattern

Third Stop-> Wenz-daze Quilter's Emporium in Florence, Oregon
Found a couple of fun fabrics and a wonderful pin cushion with a sewing machine button!

Finally I bought a couple of cross stitch kits and another set of postcard quilt blocks

 

So after 11 days with almost no sewing (I did do about three hours of cross stitch one night) I now have more things to do than when I left!!!!

 

 

Vacation Stuff #6

Last post for this vacation :(

We saw a whale yesterday by Depoe Bay, OR

Pictures on regular camera so will add them when get home

Off to the airport today after a stop at a cheese factory

Vacation Stuff #5

Finished book number 3 last night!!  I picked up this book because it is related to Pride and Prejudice but it had some occult aspects to the story. Not what I would expect from an Austen story. 

Vacation Stuff #4

Crater Lake National Park is gorgeous!!! Ron and I rode the boat out to Wizard Island yesterday and hiked to the top

Actually Wizard Island is a volcano cone with a caldera at the top and it is an island in a lake that is within a volcanic caldera. Pretty neat geology stuff 

Vacation Stuff #3

Finished my second book on Tuesday night but did not get a chance to post until now

Liked this book because it has a Christian influence and talk about trusting Gods plan for your life!!
