Multifarious Friday!

 I've got a little of this and that today!

Remember that adorable turtle fabric I showed you from the quilt shop in Hawaii? Well because of a generous friend and blog reader, I now own a piece of it! We both chuckled that turtle fabric can be so pretty! Thank you Janet!! She is super talented, please check out her blog HERE.

Another talented and generous quilter is Gay at Sentimental Stitches. The next Poppy's Polka Dot Garden blocks are HERE.

Thank you Gay!

We were walking down the street in Lander and looked up to see this sign! What?! Seems it used to be a quilt shop with fabric, etc, now the owner makes quilts to sell. 

Along with other Wyoming goods. They were closed when we strolled by, but I'll have to check it out next time.

I don't get to see my daughter enough and after the year she's had as a hairdresser during covid I try and make a point to see her when I can. 

We had a lovely leisurely 3 hour lunch at Salty's on the Columbia River. 

These little guys seem to be everywhere! At first we thought there was only one, but I'm pretty sure there is more. As if the deer eating my plants isn't enough? LOL

Love you all! Thank you for all your kind comments and support!

Have a great weekend,

Readers Show and Tell

Janny shared with me her finished quilt "Abundance" that was a Humble Quilts quiltalong in 2013. I can see the quilted fans and love it!

I shared this quilt recently as it was part of the sapphire special exhibit in Houston. It is just a basic 25 patch block on point. A friend and I made this to commemorate our trip to Paducah Quilt Show. 

Mona was inspired to make her own using the grunge line. 

So pretty!

 

And Gay @ Sentimental Stitches is at it again. 2 more blocks are available HERE for this amazing quilt she is calling Polly's Polka Dot. 

Thank you for all your wonderful comments on my newest quilt! Many of you were "no-reply" commenters so I have no way to respond to you. Just know I appreciate every single comment. 

Well, The first week of the new year has not been a good one in general. Let's hope it can only get better from here. Much love always.

My out and about this week.....

 We took my son out for his birthday and I said we must go see some fall color before dinner! 

We found it!

I had to go into Portland for business and spend a little time with my daughter and had to enjoy this different scenery on my over the mountain. 

Can you tell this is the wet side of the mountain?

If you want to add your 50 Shades of Brown to the linky on Monday but can't figure it out, feel free to send me a photo and I'll add it.  There will be a random drawing from everyone who adds their quilt!

Have an amazing weekend!
