Council Quilt Show

Over the wonderful long Fourth of July weekend, we took our RV up to Cambridge and stayed a few days at the Mundo Hot Springs.  On July 5, we went up to Council  (about 20 miles north) and visited the Council Quilt Show.  I am sad to say, I did not win the beautiful raffle quilt donated by Janell, however, there were many wonderful quilts to view and enjoy.  My most favorite did not win any ribbons, but is beautiful and unusual.  This quilt is by Sandra Hansen, of Cambridge, ID, and she made it as a way of displaying her antique ladies belt buckle collection.  Well done indeed!

The name of the quilt is: Buckle Up.  I just had to share a photo of my favorite pick from the Council Quilt Show.  I plan on going again next year.

It's All About Chickens!!

I am about to get back to working on my own projects . . . quilting projects.  This last weekend the Cloverdale Ladies Society met at my house and we painted canvas bags.  My thought is 'What is better to paint, on a canvas bag, than a chicken?"  So, while the "Ladies" used a piece of celery stalk to make beautiful rose-like floral creations on their bags, I painted a chicken.  Of course, bright colors ruled the day.

Chicken Dinner Road has been in the news as of late, and I want PETA to know that some of us SW Idahoans celebrate chickens and I think chickens celebrate by having dinner!  Of course, my chickens are the most fashionable.
