One of my sisters bought TONS of selvage from some fabric mill. And look what she makes out of it - rugs! With a jumbo crochet hook. They are so super soft and cushy. I just HAD to take some photos to share!

Only 1 stratta left to go! My BIG field of colorful flowers quilt for Little Boy. Each time I put it down on the floor - I lay it out differently - so there really is no "plan".

Flowers are for picking!

Little Boy picks flowers for me. I'm a lucky Momma!

Flying Truck & Tractors

As usual, I found the driving part of the trip long (the Canada/Cape Cod route), but we did see some interesting things along the way! The flying truck & tractors is on Route 9 in Maine - near the Calais end (Route 9 can seem endless, but is beautiful with lots of hills, rocks, mountain views, old farmhouses, etc.). The farmers are burning the fields and you can see the smoke in the tractor photo. A good portion of the fields are already done but we saw some good fires as we drove by.

So - now onward to the unpacking and getting re-organized after being gone for the past few weeks! More photos and news to come.
