I just love these dried up old buildings

When we pulled down the driveway the flowerbeds were putting on a show:

Calla Lilies... in the front yard

The last of the Rhodies...

Rhodie Bud.....just beginning to bloom

Now that we are home.....the work begins!

Lots of travel gear to unload and put away....you know the routine.

But it was worth it.....what a great trip....good times and lots of inspiration!

Next week friends are joining me here for a

Landscape Painting Workshop.

When my hands aren't full of paint, I will try and take a few photos to share with you.

Saturday we spent the day in Virginia City

I made a new friend.....Bernadine

Bernadine is a BLM Donkey

She spends her days entertaining tourists with this Miner

She is well cared for and loved.

I would love to bring her home to keep Freckles company

The scenery has been gorgeous on this trip...
We are making time to stop at quilt shops, antique stores, garage sales & thrift stores along the way.
I have lots of goodies and treasures that I can incorporate into my fiber art when I return home.

Nothing like a change of scenery to inspire the artist in all of us...

Ponderosa Pines...

Ponderosa Pines

I am drawn to the amazing bark on these pine trees.

Paul Harvey is really getting around on this trip!


I have more images to add to this post, but for some reason I am unable to add anymore. I will try again later.
Posting to the blog is a bit more challenging on the road than it is at home...

Smokey The Bear...

The landscape is incredibly green for this time of year!
Oregon is not the only state that has had lots of wet weather.

Horses always seem to gather around a building...

No matter what state it happens to be in!

This baby could go at any moment...


Leaving Nevada today and heading back into California.

The change of scenery is just what we needed.
I am inspired by our travels and anxious to get some cloth under the needle soon!

More tomorrow...

Paul Harvey in California & Nevada...

California Ponies

I threw Paul Harvey over the rail fence to take a photo...and it scared the ponies. The poor babies jumped up and ran away!
Once I walked away to get back and take the photo, they realized there was no danger, and were rather interested in the quilt.
Made for a pretty picture...

Applecore.....Take-a-Long Quilt

CLICK HERE for Apple Core Tutorial

I never leave home without a hand project.
I have made several queen size quilts over the years by hand sewing them while we travel along at 55 mpg

I have lots of images to share with you.....60 bottles of fabric paint at a garage sale today, fabric that looks like barb wire, a foam stamp shaped like a dog, lots of great treasures.

The problem is the wi-fi on the road is not so dependable....it cuts you off right in the middle of an image download.....which can be a bit irritating.

We are on the road for a few more days, I will try and stay in touch and keep you posted on our travels.

Paul Harvey at Mt Shasta...

Mt. Shasta

I never leave home without my favorite quilt
"Paul Harvey"
It goes everywhere I go.

I just sleep better when we are on the road if I have Paul Harvey with me.

We are on our way to Lake Tahoe

Rooster
We pulled into fuel up and this handsome guy greeted us with a nod of his beak.

I think he was expecting a treat...
Like the gas station attendant he said,
"Fill 'er Up"


I have visited a quilt shop or two since leaving Oregon as well as several thrift stores and found a few treasures.

More Tomorrow....

I picked botanicals and pressed them in a phone book.

The next day we had an all-day textile arts workshop:

Paul Harvey with the students at the workshop

10 days on the road and we pulled down our driveway at 5pm tonight. It is good to be home. Once the bags are unpacked and the mail is sorted I will put together a slideshow of our wonderful workshop. The students created some incredible textile art. I will share it with you soon!
