miles and miles

We weren't gone very long but did travel miles and miles. My daughter traveled here from Massachusetts and then we went to Virginia to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my mother and brother.

This is the first block of a small quilt I started so that I would have something to work on in the car, but instead of sewing, I mostly looked out of the window.

While in Roanoke I did go to the market but had to go on Friday since we had to return home on Saturday. Disappointing since I was hoping to see Cheryl.

Hello again! Well, starting is great..and so is looking out the window, right! I get car sick, so the thought of working on anything is nearly impossible for me to fathom!

thanks for coming by to see me!
have a great night!

Hi Deborah, Pretty skies and nice countryside views. It's so great that you got to visit with your daughter and family.

Such a pretty blue block---love that circle fabric, too.

Has the Christmas bug bitten and chased you into your sewing room yet?
I'm making some angel goodies.

Daggone it..I would have loved to have seen your smiling face at my booth! I have only been going on Saturdays since the market is all torn up now while the market building is being renovated. I also had company over Thanksgiving and really could only be there on Saturday. I'll be there a lot this winter so maybe you'll get back again soon. Thanks so much for the link back too~ Your quilt square is lovely. I can't work while riding in a car and I'll bet you can't for long either.

beautiful photos. I always take things to work on in the car and always end up just looking out the window. Cute little block.
