Home from vacation

Whew! Just home from vacation - 2012 driven miles - can you guess where I was? among other places? Yeppers, Winterset, Iowa, home of Fons and Porter. Naturally, I had to leave some cash in their shop. BTW this is a small shop and I had been told about it before visiting. It is not large at all. Winterset,Iowa is also John Wayne birthplace and also home of many covered bridges, and was featured in "Bridges of Madison County." It's a lovely small town, filled with interesting shops. I only stopped at the quilt shop.

I won't bore you (now) with my photos, but will post them soon, as I'm TIRED! Drove east across all of Nebraska, all of Iowa, across the Mississippi River into Illinois and up through Wisconsin, and back again. It was a good and safe trip, but we're glad to be home.

My poor hostas were NOT so lucky during a recent rain/hail storm. Honestly, I don't know why I even try, as they get hit every year!

I wasn't home 2 hours, until I was sewing on my strings. Also, family members gave/asked me for 3 more quilts. I'd better get busy!
