Home again, home again…jiggety-jog.
But ohhhhhhh—
…the winding highway we cruise-controlled…
…the quaint cottages we coveted…I mean, wished we lived in…wait…is that the same thing? Oh, whatever…
…the silky fibers I couldn’t keep my hands off of…stopped trying, actually…
…the amazing baby versions of the ABC song we sang…
…the basket full of prizes we get to keep…hee hee hee…don’t worry, I’m not trying to rhyme…
…the hollyhocks we sniffed–that is, until a bumblebee the size of a seagull showed up…
…the “finger-dancing” we did to all the 70’s music we could stand…
…the peaceful river we rested by…being careful not to disturb the residents…
…the fabulous old, old stuff that I sincerely tried to keep my hands off of…alas, in vain…
…the pretty porches we got to play on…I’m having one of those someday–I tell you…
…the 300-ish miles of people-less land we drove through…I mean, around…
…the millions of quilt-y things we took pictures of–for inspiration—which by-the-way, still look really hard to make…
…all to end up here—at this most beloved and sought after door…
…to turn in this card filled with a million stamps proving that we have driven around the world 3 times in the last couple of days…and now…
…will be resting these for a while as we dream of all the stuff we will most certainly win…
that…and about getting a touch up on the Iced Cranberry polish.
It’s time.
American Quilting is one of my favorite shops. That is where I got the fabric for Piper’s quilt.
Wow! I don’t remember any of the Wasatch front being that lush and green. That looks like an awesome trip. I’m not into quilting either but your pictures look so peaceful and quaint. I wish I could do the shop hop too.
That really was so much fun… even if it resulted in me sleeping longer last night than I have in a long time. It was worth the fun of it!
And Summer, everything along the way was VERY green. This rainy June has been good to this place! It definitely doesn’t look like Utah… or at least not anything I’ve seen in a couple decades.
Looks like a lot of fun. I want to go next time. And I don’t even quilt. I’d rather it be to antique stores or thrift stores though. Now that would be fun.
Several of the places did have antiques in the store or a thift store near by. They seem to gather in groups so you would definitely love the trip 🙂
What an adventure!!! I really am a fan of this kind of thing! I love the babies singing and dancing! Hopefully we can raise a new generation of Road Trippers! 😉 Good job getting all the stamps in your quilting passport!
Oh, Kim–I’m with you! The antiques stores are my favorite thing!
