Monday Runaway

We are back from meeting Naomi. 

She is a sweetheart.  

I crocheted this dress for her as we traveled.

930 miles on the Rental car, lol.

Waiting to leave on one of our flights home.

We sat almost an hour on the Runway.

Barely got on the last flight to get our car 

and drive home.

Gray hair - don't care!

Quilty panels on the walls at the Hotel

I need to sew more hexies.

Catch ya later guys, I'm running away again

No WiFi for 3 days.

It was a Friyay!

Thursday DH drove to Missouri Star 

Quilt Company in Hamilton, MO 

Mandatory selfie by the wall.

I went into the Machine Shed.

There was more than machines in there.

I got a new Tucker Trimmer ruler.

A selfie with Cardboard Misty and Natalie. 

This was in the Fabric Market

Cuts by the 1/4 # for $12

This is an iconic wall for a picture. 

Shorty me for scale.

I collected a few more Ducks for my collection. 

Cute ones from the Stitchen Stampede

at the Birthday Bash.

I got some Kona White for Lynn.

The other fabric wasn't in any of their stores.

It's a Robert Kaufman  from the

 Windowsill Garden line.

Item called Pond

On the way out we went to Jamesport for lunch.

Then we went to Adam-ondi-Aman.

Nice Panoramic view.

 We drove up to the Tower Hill.

Lastly we went to Liberty to find 

Quilting is my Therapy. 

This Fat Quarter bundle is for the Sew along later.

Dinner with Jeff, Chey and Naomi at Culvers!

So good!

We could have gone there today.

Chappel  Roan is doing a concert in Liberty tonight.

Traffic would have been crazy!

One more sleep, we fly home tomorrow morning. 

Wow-Wednesday Nebraska and Iowa

My how things have changed since we served our Mission at the Mormon Trail Center 

and Kanesville Tabernacle.

New signs.

Moved the Pioneer statue.

I got to Visit my Quilts!

This one I made while there.

A replica of one worn this above the beds 

in the cabin

This one I finished at home with my Sister.

I wondered where it was.

It was under the other one. Yea!

We met the new FM's

This one is on top now for those who visit.

.

This is the Cradle Quilt and pillow I made.

I was able to see where they put the BIG picture 

that we moved out of the Tabernacle. 

And the Piano...

I am relieved they are still there.

I forgot to take a picture of Star and Bright.

So good to walk again where my Pioneers walked.

I left a part of My heart there. 

Got my Christy Creme too!

Flavor of the day - Orange!

Whacha doing Wednesday??

Monday, Monday...

It's a Chili Sauce Monday. 

I got up early to get the Tomatoes, Onions, Peppers and Apples peeled and ready for making my Grandma's Chili Sauce.

It's the secret ingredients in my soups and stews.

Anything that needs Ketchup it tastes good with.

One lone Gladilola this week. 

Beautiful 😍 

The paving is happening by my Chiropractors office on Howard. Yahoo!

We met up with Janessa and Dan to watch KD in the Alice in Wonderland Jr.

Fun to see her doing something she loves.

One of the fun things that happened after - the concert director got proposed to.

 Dan proposed to Janessa at the Sunflower Festival. 

It was a good day for proposals!

This was my Saturday Project  

It has sat in the Fabric tote for 10 months.
