First of all, don't worry when you don't see a post from me on Monday (and possibly on Wednesday as well). We're taking a couple days to visit our #1 son and his family in their new town and I won't have internet access. Please feel free to chat amongst yourselves.
**************
After a couple false starts on the border for the latest landscape, I think it's now done....(UPDATED TO ADD: After peering at the black outside border once again, I've decided that it's too stark so it's coming off in favour of either a brown or a green, most likely brown.
NOT FOR SALE
- Those of you who like hexxies might find THIS little project fun to do.
- If my grandsons were a little younger I'd love to make them one of THESE.
Today's quote is from Morgan Freeman..."Maybe if we underpaid politicians and overpaid teachers, there would be smarter people and less stupid laws"
Enjoy your trip. Are they nearer now?
ReplyDeleteActually they're over an hour further away so it's not a trip we'll be making often. #2 son and his family still live in BC so I think our days of flying out there are pretty much over. A four hour road trip to see our #1 son is even stretching the limit now, particularly when I'm now the only driver.
DeleteYour landscape is just lovely!!:))) Amazing details on this one!
ReplyDeleteWe are headed for another few days of hot weather here--these past 2 days of cool and dry weather were such a relief. Now we need a lot of rain--lots!! Hugs, Julierose
Thank you - I hope the client likes it! It's changed somewhat since I took this photo so I will show it after we return from our road trip. Hot weather supposed to be happening here too.
DeleteEnjoy your time, dear friend. So sweet of you ❤️ to let us know.
ReplyDeleteWe aren't big travelers so it will be interesting. I'm a little worried because I've always been the navigator and now that I'm the only driver I have to rely on DH who isn't all that good at it (mostly because he's never had to do it before).
DeleteMA, do you have a mobile phone - if so try Google maps, with directions, then key in the destination. Keep your phone plugged in while driving then you won't lose power, but you can buy phone holders to sit on the dashboard, this may help. I must admit, I have been doing this for our last few long journeys - so much easier!
DeleteI love your landscape, MA, beautiful. xx
I do have a cell phone but it's not hooked up to the internet. I did download the Google maps directions and have them printed out but sadly the RC announces 'turn here' two seconds before the corner and doesn't give me time to get in the right lane much less get my turn signal on. We also have a plug-in GPS unit we can use but it's the same. He just has to learn how to keep on top of where we are...something he's never had to do in 47 years of marriage.
DeleteYour landscape is marvellous, Mary Anne! There's an amazing amount of beautiful stitching detail. How fabulous you're going to visit your family. Have a fabulous time. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim! The landscape doesn't look the same now because I took off that offensive black and have replaced it.
DeleteWhat a marvelous creation. Enjoy your little break.
ReplyDeleteThank you - on both fronts!
DeleteEnjoy your visit with your son. I love the landscape, but I agree that a different colour edging (brown) would suit much better.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you! Actually the final border didn't end up being brown either....you'll have to wait til next week to see what I ended up with.
DeleteAnother lovely finish…I really like the quilting in the sky. Have a safe journey and enjoy yourselves.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jocelyn. We're looking forward to seeing our family.
DeleteOh my! That's stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt looks better now that I've replaced the outer border!
Deletei hope that you have an outstanding visit!!!
ReplyDeleteWe did, thank you.
DeleteStunning creation. Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteWe did enjoy our trip. It was short but filled with family and that's the important thing.
DeleteMA: Love the quilt, thank-you for the fun links.
ReplyDeleteCatherine
