Quilts finished

It looks like we will be late for Thanksgiving this year. If we are able to pickup the rig on Friday, we will need to return to Port Susan to put all our stuff back into the basement storage. Then we're into the weekend and will probably wait until Monday to avoid traffic. Then cutting over to the coast will make the trip home a few days longer.

Oregon law, require all vehicles to carry snow chains after the first of November whether they're needed or not when traveling on highways that go over mountain passes. We decided to cut over to the coast to stay law abiding and still avoid the hassle of buying and carrying chains. There are a couple of highways to the coast that don't have chain requirement and the one out of Salem, OR is where we plan to turn west .

On our walk last night Ty decided to jump up on top of a three foot tall tree stump. I guess predicaments like this is where the saying "Look before you leap" may come from.

Ouch!

This is the Garden Gate quilt Debbie has been working on for a while. The gate design is from a photo of the gated entrance to the apartments in Florence, Italy where Blake stayed during his three month study abroad program. This is the second one after a practice. It has taken a while because of the amount of hand work required.

I didn't think it had been raining this much but Debbie also finished this quilt. I'm glad we have dual pane windows so condensation hasn't been a problem.
