Some other views on the way home.

On the Way Home

We accidentally got to see part of the Kinetic Sculpture Race as we passed through Ferndale on the way home Memorial Day.

Uncle Red

While in Ft. Bragg we visited with my uncle, Red Burke, who enjoys restoring old cars, scooters, and anything else mechanical that he takes a liking to. He is in his 90's now and still working each day at his home shop.

Ft. Bragg Quilt Show

Memorial Day weekend we traveled to Ft. Bragg, California, in Mendocino County, to a quilt show. It was held in three different buildings downtown and we met some very nice people during out stay there.

The quilt on the left is Linda's sample quilt and the one on the right is Kristen's.

Linda Ballard Retreat

The first week of April, my daughter, Kristen, flew up from Los Angeles and we attended a Linda Ballard quilting retreat here in Weaverville. I decided I would pick my fabrics from my "stash" which was great, but I didn't have enough. Thank goodness for e-bay! I found more of the fabric I needed there and was able to make my blocks at the retreat. Unfortunately, after I had all of my blocks made I decided to double the size of the quilt I was making so I had to double the number of blocks. Needless to say, the blocks aren't done yet. Yes, one more half done project waiting to be completed.

Roseburg Quilt Show

On April 17, 18, & 19 we (my husband the fish man and I) traveled to my hometown, Roseburg, Oregon for the lovely quilt show they had there at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. We were impressed by the quilts on display and enjoyed visiting with the lovely ladies putting on the show and the other vendors. The weather was quite exciting. . . we had sunshine, rain, hail and snow during our stay. Allen would go check the weather every hour just to see what was happening at that particular moment.
