So I've been traveling! I spent a couple weeks away from the homestead trying to squeeze in the last little bit of summer after the lame August we had down here due to the fires. The weekend of August 15th found me and the fam in Portland for the PNWMQG MEETUP! In short, it was a blast!
The sad thing about camping is that it's hard to quilt. I was able to finish some hand sewing projects though. These cute little tobacco pouches I translated from German (and metric) directions I scrounged on Pinterest. Those Pendleton remnants sure did make them look real cute. The vintage fabric was also quite fitting.
On our way out to Missoula Montana, we had a couple of sidetracks. Thanks to a wildland fire at Lolo Pass in Idaho blocking our way on Highway 12 (the most scenic drive ever apparently) and then a chance encounter between a Montana rat (deer) and the front of our covered wagon (Subaru forester), we had to make out journey count.
More car trouble when we got a ride from "refugee camp" in Missoula. A non-paleo date with Ben & Jerry helped. As annoying and trying as the journey out was, I think it made the ceremony all the more sweet.
