Last Week

So part of last week I was in Virginia at my nephew's wedding and visiting my #1 son and daughter-in-law. The wedding was in Charlottesville. As we were driving into town I spotted this barn with a quilt block on it. I know it is hard to see but it is that yellow square in the middle. We drove past it several times and this is the best shot I could get. 

 Before we drove to where we were staying we drove into Charlottesville. Mr. P. is always so good to drive me to quilt shops when we visit new places. The shop is called Cottonwood. I could have spent hours in this shop because of all the fabric they sold. A quilter's delight for sure.

 I highly recommend that you visit it if you are in the area.

 I happened to visit on a day they were having a sale. I got the Kissing Booth layer cake 40% off and some of the fat quarters were on sale. I am collecting these for a quilt I plan to make next year.

After we stopped here, we ate lunch and then headed towards the cabin we were going to stay at. This is one of the views as we were driving up the road.

 We drove up the mountain. This was a rental cabin. It was originally two cabins brought up the mountain. The center part was added in between the two cabins. What was so neat was that the windows on both sides of the middle section fold up like an accordion so the room could be open to the outdoors. We did not do this because it was too hot and humid.  My sister-in-law invited us along with several other family members to stay at the cabin before the wedding day. It was great to see family. My two boys and their wives were there too. My daughter wasn't able to be there because of her job.

 Inside the kitchen was a functioning wood cooking stove. The refrigerator was a electric replica.

 Every bed in the cabin had a quilt on it. I will show some of them next post.

With Passion,
