Made it Home

Well instead of a short drive towards home on Saturday we decided to do the all day drive and got home in the early evening hours.  Exhausted!! But I slept 10 hours last night and was full of energy today.  We have the motorhome basically unpacked – stuff sitting all over the house to be put away but that is how it always happens.  I’m in the middle of doing laundry and making a grocery list.  Mike has the yard mostly mowed – more left to do but will finish that up later.  I need to go through all the quilting goodies that I accumulated on the trip and get those organized and put away.  I also need to look over and take photo’s of the quilt top that my aunt gave me and the quilt – both items that my grandmother made in the 1930’s.  Mike will continue going through our photo’s that he took of our trip and edit them down to the best and I will try to remember to post a few more here and there.

Here is one photo of a quilt that I am designing and making as I think of ideas for it.  The center is miniature double wedding rings that I hand pieced, the next areas of squares are machine pieced and then the flower applique is what I worked on while on the road this trip.  I had glue basted all of it in place and appliqued while traveling:

I’m really not sure how big this one will end up getting or what the next borders around it will be, it has already grown larger than I had thought it would
