So cute, all of them! Did you name her yet? She is being carried around a lot, right? The stacks of fabric are so beautiful, I think either combination would be wonderful. I have a feeling you will find at least a little time to spend in your sewing room before Thanksgiving :)<br /><br />-SomaSoma @ inkTorrents.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820728287018415555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-31628487762021631952017-11-20T12:27:32.077-08:002017-11-20T12:27:32.077-08:00Such a fun trip--we like driving back roads, too, ...Such a fun trip--we like driving back roads, too, until we realize we Need To Get Somewhere Fast, and then it's back on the freeways we go.

The last I heard parts of it are in very bad repair and that has been some time ago. It's sad to hear. I'm in Albuquerque with grandboys while parents with about 50 people to Italy. I had the better trip. I return home tomorrow. I love to hear of your excursion. I love the fabrics for your mystery quilt. I actually prefer the first pull but it's only personal preference. They are each outstanding. Inspired by you, I've been collecting fabrics for a temperature quilt for my son and his girlfriend. I've considered several different block designs and keep coming back to the flying geese for the ease of the representation of the temperatures for a day. They have a California king bed. So, I'm going to have to do some figuring to decide about what size blocks and borders, etc to see if it's feasible to make it look ok. I'm looking at grays, blues, and yellows and my son does not like red very well. I think red would have been fabulous in a temperature quilt when we live in Oklahoma where we have hot summers. I'm trying to accomodate his likes. His girlfriend's favorite color is purple. I'm trying to knit her a lavender scarf for Christmas. I literally started over 6 times and was making ok progress and made a silly mistake from which I couldln't recover and it was a difficult pattern for me, so I've started a different pattern. It's a synthetic yarn, very soft yarn so it may be an Eastern present. Thanks for your inspirations. I'm excited about the new addition to the family. I want to get a service dog for my PTSD. I need to get my backyard grass in better shape first. The dog is adorable and loved as should be.
