If you wondered what happened with
The Sewist last week the photo mostly tells it all. I was in the trees, in the clouds, out of town and in my mind. Sometimes you just have to step back and re-center. I did, a bit. We visited Gettysburg, again. I am drawn to the area, the battle fields, the stories. How did this area of our country manage to preserve the history? Every field and knoll is dotted with memorials and standards. There are cannons everywhere and many dedicated people who work every day to preserve and maintain the artifacts.
I swear Mondo knows the way to our favorite campground. Right now there is a large detour nearby because a culvert bridge is being rebuilt. It was old, very narrow and a bit scary. Not so convenient for a large motor home. Hopefully, the replacement will be wider!
The campground is decorated for the season with pumpkins and mums. It is lovely.
The leaves were just barely starting to turn when we traveled. Just barely.
The first times traveling Rt 30 in Eastern Pa, in the motor home, these steep inclines and declines, the curves and twists in these mountains gave me pause. I must say. One big yellow arrow means slow down Nellie, two means you should have back-up underwear handy. Just so you know.
That said, I did manage to stop at two favorite quilt shops. Right now I am collecting blues and neutrals. I have a project in mind but I am not married to it. I will share the fabrics soon. It is hard to narrow choices when confronted with fabrics that are not common to my area quilt shops. While each shop has its personality, we all have favorites, don't we?
I cannot believe our RV season is over almost before it started. I swear that next year will be different. Many stars need to align for that to happen but I am firm in this.
- It has been very warm here, 80's, unusual for October. It is supposed to change to cooler this week. I am confused.
- I still have some garden work to get to this week, the deer have been busy.
- The studio is a mess. I need to put things back in their places, I didn't have time before we left.
- MIL needed new sleepwear. She insisted on getting ones that I knew, knew, knew were too big. When she was standing in the kitchen and it all fell off we all had a little chuckle. I will still be grinning this week as I spend hours taking them apart, cutting them to size and putting them back together. Just saying... I'm glad I didn't place a cash bet a finishing date for the Christmas Quilt!
- This week I have a sewing event scheduled. Sew, serge, embroider and quilt. The Meadows Racetrack and Casino is an amazing venue. Happy Dance!
