Windless Wednesday?

If you haven’t already done so, hurry over to Sentimental Stitches to download Block 6 of the Beyond the Cherry Trees Quilt.  It’s a beauty!!

This quilt is a remarkable remake of an actual antique quilt.  For one month only they are offering each block for FREE!!  This month it is block 6!!  Love it!

Tuesday’s Happenings~

It was a horribly windy day at our RV park which usually means a day spent sewing…but my husband had cabin trailer fever …so we loaded the dogs in the truck…and headed west on the I-10 freeway...with no destination in mind..just get out of the wind!  There would be NO SEWING for me!

Before we knew it we were zooming by Los Angeles…

And ended up here…the beaches of Santa Monica.  The wind was howling here too but somehow it didn’t feel quite so bad…the scenery was spectacular!!

We found this park overlooking the beach so we were able to give the dogs a good run.

Here is the pier at Santa Monica…isn’t this the fair that was filmed in the Pelican Brief with Julia Roberts?? I know it’s in a lot of movies…just can’t remember which ones..

We also saw this street sign…THE infamous Bundy Drive…YIKES!P1060802

Time to get out of Dodge…

Have a windless Wednesday and Happy Quilting!

  1. It may be windy, but at least the sun is shining. It's slushing here in N.Van!!! [That's rain with intermittent snowflakes, for all your hot-weather readers.]

  2. Sure is pretty Paulette - why is Bundy Dr. infamous? I've never heard of it.

  5. I know I'm showing my ignorance, but why is Bundy Drive (in)famous?

    Santa Monica look lovely and the wind didn't mess my hair up at all!
