We went to Drumheller yesterday with my son and his three boys. That is dinosaur country. The kids had a blast. I love the badlands. It is so amazing how the countryside changes so quickly. We have the Rocky Mountains about three hours to the west. Drumheller is about 2 hours to the east of us and then we are into the hoo doos. They have a terrific museum there. Then we went to eat at Bernie and the Boys which was featured on the food network show You Gotta Eat Here. That's the Canuck version of Diners Drive Ins and Dives. What a great day we had.
Anael, I know I'm late, but those pictures of your family were just awesome. It brought back memories of when our twins came home and their big brother's interest in them. Nice wall hanging, love the feature fabric.
Mirabelle, my heart goes out to you in regards to Sammy. it is so hard. We want to do the best for them and do not want to see them suffer, but yet we don't want to say good bye. I am a terrible softy about animals. Hugs to you.
Jeanie and QNS, I love that block. How clever of you , QNS, to send the Californian some snow!
Honchey I am such a curiosity junkie. Can't wait to see who I make and send to for July and it's not even June!
QuiltE, I am a 4-H er. When I was in it there were only the three catagories...sewing, cooking and livestock. Being a townie, I wasn't able to have a calf, but I did the other two. I was also a Leader for a couple of years til I had my kids . I'm glad I'm not making that block as you said it was to represent your 4-H memories. That is tough. My favourite part of 4-H was the rally . One year I had to model my baby doll PJ's. That was bitter sweet as I was pleased to be chosen and it was one of the few times I got a blue ribbon instead of red, but it was so embarrassing! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
As for you Cowbells and Carousel block, I will think on it. I'm guessing the theme is to represent rural fairs combining the livestock and carnival aspects. I really like both fabrics.
We are going down to be with our other son and his family for a few days as my DIL is still doctoring in Medicine Hat. I will be so glad for her sake when they are done with her. She is a trooper, but I know she wants to be finished with all the driving back and forth and the worry. It seems there's always something.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
