Quilts:

First of all, I would like to thank Roger for holding the quilts.  You notice his feet below all three of them.  Good to have a dedicated assistant!  I haven't shown any quilts lately, but that does not mean I haven't been busy in my quilt cave (basement bedroom) all winter.  I have a number of tops not quilted as of yet, but these three were needed for my quilt group coming up the lst Thursday of June.

Road Trip to Nebraska:

How often do you decide on a destination and then work a road trip around getting there?  Luckily, we had a full week to get from Farmington Utah to Lincoln Nebraska and back so we decided to check out some sights up North that we hadn't visited for well over 30 years.  After getting all our obligations out of the way, we left on May 15th heading up to Jackson Hole

and Yellowstone National Park.

A Quilt Finish

Thanks to Kim, I have a post to put up.  I'm having trouble getting my photos up on the blog page, which has created a lag in posting.  So if anyone out there has suggestions about how to get photos once they've downloaded up to the blog, I'd be happy to hear from you. 

I had shown Kim this chevron quilt earlier when I was piecing it.  It is a throw size with two inch strips.  Once pieced I put it away for awhile and just recently got it out to finish it up with the quilting.  The quilting process has gone a lot smoother than the piecing and I have thoroughly enjoyed quilting each and every strip with one of about eight different quilting patterns.  You can see a few in the photo below. 



The weather is still winter here so I have been spending a lot of my time in the "quilt cave".  Spring is coming though, so I am trying to finish up some projects before the yard "garden" calls and I have to balance out my time. Hopefully, I will be able to "select all" soon and get the blog from this end going again.









MYANMAR PART IV - BAGO

A day out from Yangon had unexpected results.

The lake behind Aung San Suu Kyi's home.

MYANMAR PART III - YANGON

Black and red stained teeth on both young and old, testifies to the continuing popularity of betel.

MYANMAR PART II - BAGAN

Bagan is a must-see for anyone visiting Myanmar.  I would however suggest a cooler time of the year as it was baking hot.

MYANMAR PART 1 - MANDALAY

I think most people would agree that Mandalay is not the prettiest of towns.  Sand swept streets, ugly new buildings and a dismal shopping centre aside, there are many beautiful places to see.

The seated Buddha in Mahamuni Paya was worthy of a visit, just to see how much the Buddha has grown, due to the amount of gold leaf that has been applied to it.
