This is the correct lay out for the blocks…I still need to do blocks three, eight and nine…and then the borders…

BUT…I now have to stand on a foot stool to get the whole quilt in frame when I take a picture!!  SEW exciting!!

We arrived in Pismo Beach yesterday afternoon and it’s as beautiful as I remember it!  The dogs are LOVING it even more than me! Here we are running on the beach…yes that’s us…not ants!

Nothing like spending time at the beach after a day of driving!  We are going to stay at Pismo Beach for a few days before we continue our trek home!

Hope you are having a Woolie Wednesday too…and Happy Quilting!~P

  2. You are getting through that very fast! A co-worker of mine is moving to Pismo Beach. I guess her husbands family is living there and she will be working at a place called Maggies Place...a nail salon I think. Looks beautiful.

    You going to stop in Oregon on your way home? If you are....Hollyhill has changed their hours...are only open Thurs/Fri/Sat until May and then will add Sunday to the mix.

    Enjoy the sunny weather while we have more rain in Portland.

  6. You really are moving along with that piece. I need to get to work on mine, just as soon as I finish the punch. My machine is getting fixed, so sewing for me, sure miss it.

  18. Paulette,
    On your way home, take a detour to downtown Livermore, CA and stop at In Between Stitches quilt shop. You will be delighted that you did! There is lots of parking in the back for your traveling cottage. In fact, you may just want to camp out there for a few days so you can shop! Lynn
