road trip !!!!


a couple of the scrapping diva's and I road tripped it to the Mall of America to see the Diana exhibit.  it was pretty fabulous.  the WEDDING dress was on display (behind glass and a security system including the tiara) ... it was the story of her life from childhood to her death ... another gallery held selected garments.  as a sewer (seamstress) i was fascinated by the tailoring and details of the clothes -- they were pretty fantastic -- no camera's allowed ... except here at the end with the replicated wedding cake

it was lightly raining when we left and 15 miles up the road we ended up pulling over and waiting for the rain to subside .... water everywhere .... it's an hour trek to the MOA and it took 2 hours in the rain and ugly traffic.  it was good to be a passenger!

finish from a couple of weeks ago

#1 from the previous post

Dad was mushroom hunting --morels, and he found whoppers! 


corn is up!!!! 

one shouldn't be pix taking while driving ... ya never know what you'll get ... I'm sure pix taking is on that warning plaque somewhere.

more rain on the way -- 5 inches so far this week .. starting to feel like a duck.

More quilts!
Do you design on paper or just lay out?
Either way it can help if you look obliquely across and along the design- then you can see if anything will stand out as looking wrong before you start!

That is one field of mud. Hope it looks better soon
