Well, let me reintroduce myself…
as I seem to have gone missing for 11 months!
Christa Marcotte...quilter...farmer...explorer!
I am actually still alive..
I can honestly say I’ve been everywhere man!
We got in the car in June
and
headed to Minnesota to see a dear friend, Charlotte
Colinda’s guest bed had sheets from heaven on them!
From there we scooted over to Toronto to see our friends, Bill and Terry
On our way home we stopped at Big Springs, Mn
Kitch-iti-kipi
This is a natural spring where the waters are emerald green
You load this raft and pull yourself across
You can see the bottom and all kinds of fish
BUT
My ALL TIME FAVORITE shop stop
was
Cherrywood Fabrics
My entries for their challenge have been chosen to travel 6 years in a row
My Monarch which will debut at Houston Quilt Festival…
but that’s another post!
I loved this color wheel quilt.
I HAD to check out this store!
It was like a quilters crayon box!
The Colors were incredible!
All hand dyed solids with a suede like finish
Who could chose just one!
It was such a fabulous surprise to walk through those doors!
This one is on my long arm! I need to finish it!
It was two weeks of amazing adventure
We got home in time to celebrate Arnold’s moms birthday in Oungre,Sk
with a reunion to boot!
We hurried up and made hay!
We were off again
We camped at Mouse River, North Dakota for a week with a bunch of friends
Lots of games, singalongs and a visit from a local state trooper
as
she was friends with my friends after a 'routine' speeding ticket!
Hearing her stories made us realize what a sheltered life we lead!
From there, we headed to Vermillion,Alberta
Myrna and Jim hosted a weekend
with
people from our street in Yuma.
Don’t you love Jim’s movable fire pit!
then Calgary to visit my sisters
My niece, Breanna was getting married in Calgary
She was a beautiful bride!
My sister, Larissa with her grandkids…
We stopped by Crazy Horse to check it out
Spent fun filled day’s checking out Old Faithful and the painted pots
Little Yellowstone
The waterfalls and rock formations are so intriguing
Have camper…will travel…that's my new motto!
