What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Since we took advantage of yesterday's nice weather for our hike on the Cape Flattery Trail, we had nothing on the day's agenda. That meant a day of relaxation. We're not sure if Sadie was happy for us to hang around or not. She was doing her Greta Garbo routine: "I vant to be alone." She took her morning nap inside the cubby over our bed, dedicated to the use of the kitties when we're in the camper.

Good morning, my friends. We had a beautiful day of weather for our drive north to Neah Bay yesterday. We drove just a few miles out of Forks before turning onto state highway 113 heading north. Eventually we turned onto state highway 112 heading west, and then drove along the northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula for the remainder of our journey. The bays we passed by were beautiful.

Good morning, my friends. It was a cloudy and cool day for our hike of the Hall of Mosses Trail. It was nice having it a little cooler for the humid environment, and the sun broke through a little in the afternoon. All-in-all, a good day of weather. The road to the trailhead was winding, and although it was only about 30 miles, it was about an hour-long drive.

After turning off onto Upper Hoh Road, we paralleled the Hoh River. We couldn’t see it most of the time, but we could occasionally catch a glimpse through a break ...

Good morning, my friends. Alternative titles for this post might have been "Construction Zone Ahead," or "Red Light District," but I'll stick by my old standby of telling you where we are when we reach a new destination. I'll say more about the road construction in a minute. 

We arrived in Forks, Washington, yesterday afternoon. As we drove out of Olympia, we saw a couple of barns.

Surprisingly, we saw these cooling towers for a nuclear power plant near Elma, Washington. They were easily visible from the highway as we drove by. We wondered aloud whether there were ...

Good morning, my friends. We've made good use of our time here in Olympia, Washington, and we'll be moving on to our next stop in Forks today. We'll have four days in Forks, and we have a lot of sight-seeing on the agenda. If the forecast is to be believed, we should have good weather while we're there.

Backing up to yesterday, we checked off the first item on our sight-seeing list with our walk on the Nisqually Estuary Boardwalk and Twin Barns Loop. Both hikes can be found at the Billy Frank, Jr., Nisqually National ...

Good morning, my friends. When I left you yesterday, I was thinking I'd wait until after our hike to blog again. But then we had so much going on yesterday, and I managed to take dozens of pictures again. Since I know I'll take bazillions of pictures on our hike today, it seemed like a good idea to cut down on the volume for my next post. We're planning to do our hike in a couple of hours...and bonus! It rained last night, but the forecast is for dry weather for the hike. Yay!

Okay, so ...

Good afternoon, my friends. We find ourselves in Olympia, Washington, this afternoon. It was a relatively short day of driving to get here. It began with some last-minute packing and preparation, and then, we were on our way. We spotted some fall color as we drove away from our home. I expect we'll a lot more of this as we make our way through Washington.

This has to be my second favorite weekend of the year behind Thanksgiving!! Autumn is on the way, football season has started and the Mountain State Fair is in full swing! I get to bring out the fall quilts, change the wall hangings and get ready for the next three months of cooler weather, wearing sweaters, and seeing the leaves change to glorious color. Settle in with a cuppa for a long and picture heavy post! I hung the Welcome Pumpkin on the wall near the front door to start the change of seasons in decorating. I like these flat ...

Good morning, my friends. It's been a couple of days of this's and thats's. I've been keeping up with my slow-stitching each day. On Tuesday, I stitched far enough to decide to move my hoop up.

For Tuesday's trip into town everything took longer than I thought it would. Happily, I was there early for my haircut and color, and ...

Good morning, my friends. We had another day of rain yesterday. Not as much as on Thursday, but still…a good amount. We had grocery shopping to do, but I wasn’t going anywhere until I had my slow-stitching session. I stitched up what I could in my hoop…
