Lincoln Travels, Berlin, Ohio

We have been on the road again, hence the lack of posting.

First we spent 10 days in Berlin, Ohio.

Our friend Kailie was camping there and so were her folks, so we got to meet and hang out!

Chris and I went to the local garden center. 

 They have the cutest fairy garden things!

Kailie's mom and I hung out one day and went to several quilt shops.

It was so much fun to find yet another quilty friend!

We went to the fireworks one night with Jana and Rick (Kailie's folks).

It was one of the best fireworks displays I have ever seen!

This was out set up in the campground in Ohio.

Which Cole is the real one??

Kalie, Jana and I all made a Mondo bag together.

  Then we made a pouch but I didn't take a picture of mine yet.

I always love a trip to Amish country. 

 The landscape is so serene.

 Eventually though, it was time to hit the road and travel to NC.

The boys are such good travelers!

Just look at that adoration in Finny's eyes for his dad!

More to come of our travels in NC and some baby pics!  

Guess who turns one soon??

More Berlin

 I got to go over to Kailie's motor home and we sewed together. 
 I made a Midi bag and she made the Mondo bag.  

Here is my set up in her motor home.

Here we are with our completed bags!!!

I started making more Nightingale blocks using Dorothy's Journey fabric.

I thought you would like to see some of the fabric I bought while I was there.

I bought some Tula fabric.

That blue on the left was on sale so I bought enough for a back!

I began collecting some "blue" low volume fabrics for a pixilated Michigan quilt.

They will be the great lakes.

I also found some greens for the state part of the pixilated quilt.  I will also be using MSU fabrics.

I found some Coral Queen of the Sea.  Had to buy some, right?

I am saving some of these for a quilt that I will be pattern testing.  

I can't use them all but some of these will work for what I have in mind.

Some low volume restocking.  

That gray floral on the left is one of my favorites. 

 I was so happy to find it again.

With all the gray and LV quilts I seem to be making my LV gets used up.

I needed some background fabric for the quilt I am going to be pattern testing. 

 I didn't know how much we needed but the designer got back to me so Kailie drove me back to the shop I saw the perfect fabric at! 

 I got the background and those greens will be in the quilt too.

I found the cutest panel and this is the coordinating fabric.  

I will be using it as a border around the panel.  

I have a couple of baby quilt s to make and this will be one of them.  

I didn't get a photo of the panel though so you will have to wait.

Shimmer dots.  

Made my ice dragon and the priest's quilt from this line.  

I love both of these prints.

This was the second time I saw this adorable tiger fabric. 

 I took it as a sign from the universe that it needed to come home with me. 

 I want to use it for a chenille blanket back.  

I also found the extra wide backing for the patchwork flying geese quilt.

I went with the Bluebell, Minky.

I mam joining a fabric challenge over on IG.

  Beginning on July 5 I will be keeping track of my fabric usage and 

can't buy anything new until I use 30 yards. 

 Since I will be working on the nightingale quilt still, that one uses 11 yards so

 I'll be 1/3 of the way there!  

I think that catches you up!
