Check at the track. They have to plug all the driver's Prevost s in somewhere.

Let me know what you think, y'all. New fabrics always seem to energize creative thoughts!

Hey all you Quilters! Before I went full time I used to sew and over the years collected LOTS of monkey themed fabric. I couldn't just donate it to Goodwill so I have stored it here in Seattle in my DD's house. It's time to pass it on. Would any of you like to have some? I have about 30 pounds. Email or PM me.

Clever for sure. I gained 5 pounds just reading it!

Mary's already thinking about cooking some fresh cookies.

Raing here folks, fog finally burned off so we decided to make a quick run into town. Ran into Richard and Ann who had walked the few blocks to town so we continued or quest for a snow globe. Started raining with the car parked at other end of town. Yep, I'm soaked! The others, dry!

I started calling Tim "Dave" cuz he was kind enuf 2 get the car & pick us up... He was SOAKED!!

It took Ann & I 25 min to leisurely walk 2 town, then Tim picked us up & over an HOUR to get back.

But we enjoyed the tour & almost took a swim at Katie's beach. As it was, an afternoon shower took care of that.

Rain or shine, we are havin a blast.

It is not too late to join us at the "MAINE" event & I will learn the "nearly GC" official name soon.

My sister is into sewing big time still, here's a pic of her sewing room. She makes lots of crafty things with her skills and sells them at fairs and such. Wish I had some of that in me, would be good full-timing but I don't know how I'd fit all the stuff she has into an RV!!! What you don't see is her wall of spools of thread! That stand on one of the machines is probably 1/10 of what she has

Paula and Jim are interested. Standing by here in Sturbridge, Mass.

Headed for Bangor, Maine tomorrow.

Hey Tim, Dave. Were getting closer.

I'm game. My wife will tell you I have more fabric than a normal store. Which might be an exaggeration. Or maybe not...

Fat quarters are a handy size for swapping. Theme? How about dots and stripes? Or civil war. Or water. Sand and sea?

Something else might be a unifying color or palette.

I have lots of fabric to get rid of. I don't want any in return.....

Great day. Started with fog,then rain, then came the mutants. Warm campfire, papa steve you would be proud, Makers Marke made a showing, and six mutants had a great time. Wish all you mutants were here! This is what being a mutant is all about!
