Welcome to Midweek Makers!
Last week, hubby and I concluded a road trip north, with a stop in Portland along the way. We checked out the Columbia River Gorge Discovery Center in The Dalles, OR, just up the road from The Dalles Dam which submerged the Celilo Falls. There were plenty of pictures of the falls in the Discovery Center, so it was nice to put my Celilo quilt in perspective with the landscape.
Then we spent the Fourth of July weekend with friends in Seattle. I was excited to learn that our friend, Nancy Klimp, has published two books,
full of beautiful poetry and original artwork by self-taught artist, Jared Noury. Check out their website, Nature Speaks to Us, to see and read a few samples or order your own copy.
On the way back home, with the heat wave passed, we visited a couple national parks to hike amongst big trees and waterfalls.
Now on to some features from last week, specifically blocks.
From Alycia Quilts, this Flock of Geese block which she shows in different settings,
from Quilting by Dawn, a couple of star blocks,
and from Dreamworthy Quilts, some Feathered Goose blocks.
Now it's your turn to share what you're working on!

ReplyDeleteI finished my drunkard's path top the other day thought I would share that with you. sounds like a nice trip!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a great trip. The books look interesting. That seal really draws in the viewer. We have a hybrid also. We visited a grocery store we hadn't been to in years and surprise, surprise -- there were 2 free charging stations we could plug into while we shopped. Thanks, we think we will. Unfortunately we had a small list so didn't add all that much power. But it was very nice to see it.
