A Country Fabric Run

 There was a cool little QOV group out on the Eastern Plains of Colorado. They worked in a small town. How small you ask? I think she said the town had 25 houses.... but!! it was just east ( maybe, I am directionally challenged) of a large town of maybe 35 houses!!!

Their QOV group made at least 176 if not more Quilts and I am pretty sure they awarded every Veteran in the area a Quilt of Valor - SO SUPER COOL!!

The group decided to stop, and - they realized they had some fabric left - so my group... is gonna PLAY!!!

It was so fun to drive out that way. I am not sure I have ever been that way or on those roads - so totally new scenery!!

My friend showed me her Quilting Barn and it was AWESOME. Plus she is super organized - so you know I asked questions, and made notes!!!!

The grain elevator Robot ( you can see his eyes right?)

Aren't these views ( yes thru the windshield) amazing?

We learned about their town, and how close everyone is. I think that is pretty cool... and then we heard - there was a Mexican Restaurant in the town over...WE HAD TO GO!!!

I think I have made a new mission in my life.... Try Fajitas in as many restaurants as I can. Thats a lofty goal right?

It was quite a drive, and so pretty. We got home in the dark, so I didn't unload the fabric till the morning - but man oh man - WHAT A GIFT!!!

We have already chosen one pattern that we will kit up with this and get to stitching. and there was a bolt of two of widebacks. Seriously - a GIFT!!

Thanks Ms M and Mr R!!!

( Oh PS - Monday was my Birthday - so this was pretty fitting!!!)
