My friend Mary and I took a trip to Pennsylvania to see the other person who ignited my quilting fire and then to Canada to visit with my cousin and his wife who have a place on the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario. Our friend lives in Doylestown Pa. and we had to visit a quilt shop but it was in New Jersey. It was Pennington Fabric Works and they had lovely fabrics but more expensive than here. However they were not as expensive as the quilt shop in Kingston Canada. The fabrics there were 16 and 19 dollars a meter. Ouch. We had a great trip except for the drive from here on Sunday 19th when we could not see more than the flashers from the car in front because of the heavy downpour for about an hour and a half and could not travel more than 20 mph, the drive from Canada to Pennsylvania was delayed by road work in up state New York and the flood in Roanoke Rapids on Saturday caused traffic to back up for hours in both directions. When we finally got to our destinations we had a lovely time.
Sunset from my cousin's floating dock( he has to pull it out each fall when he leaves because the bay freezes)
Picnic lunch outside one of the MANY small local winerys we visited
Taking it easy on the dock, enjoying the view and breeze. Wednesday morning was so calm Art took us in his boat around the bay to see some beautiful houses and the harbor of Picton.
Spider web found in the back yard this morning. So pretty in the morning light.
Now to get to quilting..
Happy quilting
