I told you all I was going to bring a quilt along all ready to hand piece and I did. The quilt is “So Charming” photo’s are on older post from last week. 35 blocks with a 5 inch square in the middle with a black trim around them. Here is what I have so far.

Six hand pieced blocks

the hand pieced back of one one of them so you can see I really do handpiece them the focus is a little off and not clear but I think you can see the stitches.

my little pressing and squaring up corner of the camper - you can make due with small areas if you try.

another view of those six blocks

I do not know if I will like all of the blocks when I get done with them, some are bigger designs than I normally use and so we will see on those, I might want to replace them. The one with the leaves is one that I am talking of and I have several more in the stack. We will see what they all look like when I get them done.

No more post now for 4 or 5 days most likely unless we are having horrible weather and decide to find a coffee shop that is on line or a library or whatever.

Two days on the road – we are now in South East Colorado camping at a KOA in the small town of La Junta. We thought we would make sure to camp at a place that had wireless tonight as we will not have it for the next 4 days.

We started in central Arkansas and within an hour and a half we were in Oklahoma. You really do not travel far in Oklahoma before the scenery really starts to change and you realize you are in one of the central plains state. The main thing I do not like about travel in Oklahoma is the interstate – I-40 in this state really needs work. It is one of the bumpiest areas to go through. We drove all day and camped at a nice campground about an hour and a half north and slightly west of Oklahoma City. The campground is called Sandy Cove and it is by Canton Lake. Here are some photo’s of the campground and lake.
