I have started a new project–something just for fun–and something that is getting the creative juices flowing again. I am making wonky log cabin blocks.
I am thinking of putting a wide sashing between the blocks with wonky cornerstones. I am also thinking of putting on an extra wide border and doing a bit of applique. ….a sort of maverick meets tradition sort of thing. I am not sure how large this piece will be when I am finished. For now, I am just enjoying the process.
I finished the remaining 8 redwork hearts in Alex Anderson’s 12 Days of Redwork series.
These hearts have been the perfect portable “take along” project while traveling on my recent holiday. 
I found this fabric on Friday while I was out shopping. I am thinking that this will work for a border on my project.This is Rambo.
Rambo does not belong to our family, but he seems to have adopted us. Rambo often hangs out in our yard and visits through the glass with our cat, Joey.
Rambo is very focused on something or someone in our yard….
Could this be the illusive Easter Bunny?I headed out from home on my winter holiday on February 9. I am headed to what I hope is sunnier and warmer weather in the south–Texas and Louisiana.
The first stop on my vacation was my Aunt’s house in Saskatchewan. I am travelling with my parents. The rest of the family are holding down the fort at home. We were two days in Saskatchewan before the tour bus picked us up on February 11.
Day 1: We headed south for the Saskatchewan / North Dakota border. Our destination for our first night was Minot, ND.
The first night of our tour we had an opportunity to meet other travellers on our bus during a social time. Here we are in the hotel in Minot having our “Town Hall Meeting”.
Day 2: Our first stop on day two was Jamestown, North Dakota for coffee.
Coffee was at Burger King. As you can see, we didn’t sit outside on the patio for coffee. LOL
There was a lot of snow in Jamestown–much more than we had experienced in Saskatchewan.
Afternoon coffee was in Watertown, South Dakota.
Although the sun came out, the temperatures remained cold!
The closer we got to our evening stop in Souix Falls, South Dakota, the denser the fog became. This is our tour bus in the parking lot of the hotel in Souix Falls.
This little snowman was too cute to ignore–I just had to take his picture!
Day 3: The trees were covered with frost when we woke up in the morning on day 3.
Our evening stop on day 3 was Kansas City, Missouri. By the time we got to Kansas City we had very little snow–thankfully.
Today, the Olympic Torch made its way through our little community.
The torch only paused here, and then it was on its way again.
