It was another road trip weekend, and I got a lot of hand sewing done in the car. This is the start of a collaborative quilt with my sister-in-law, Bonnie. The pattern is in Applique Outside the Lines by Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins.
Some girl friends and I went to Walla Walla, which is in the Southeastern part of Washington. The countryside is beautiful. You can see for miles and miles.
Can you believe how my friend, Joan, matches the scenery? She says she didn't plan it that way.
Here's some jelly bean art from the candy store.
I did find the fabric shop. They also sell hot tubs there.
Two of my favorite things, all in one place!
Going away, you think about your life from a new perspective. And this block pretty much sums it up.

I like your new handwork project and the newest word of virtues project!
I have to admit, I have never seen a quilt shop selling hot tubs.

That is one of my most favorite quilts! I loved making it and the applique goes fast. I am anxious to see how your turns out!
The country around Walla Walla is very beautiful. Your photos are great. Only in Walla Walla would one find a store that sells spas and fabric. What a hoot!
I like the quilt you're working on -- and for a second, i thought the photo right below it was a quilt, too!
Your applique project looks great! Quilts & spas... ahhh! Sounds like a great weekend and such perfect weather for a road trip!
I'm chuckling over Joan and the scenery, you couldn't have planned that, lol. Love, love the collaborative quilt, wish I had a lot more hours.
Your photos are always fantastic and I love your new quilt.
For the CONTENTMENT....I think that is an important part for a serene life but often there isn't.

Lovely trip, and the blocks are looking great!
Your applique looks so tempting. I've had applique burnout from too many fancy designs, but this one looks fresh and fun. Your photos are lovely, too.
