Road Trip Block 5

Allow me to introduce Road Trip Block 5 of my Disappearing Four Patch Blocks.

This block is rather appropriate for today as I will make about 600 miles by the end of today : )

I LOVE a good road trip.  

Of course that will mean I have to stop at some of my favorite quilt shops along the way, but please remember it is important to take regular breaks along the way to fill the car, yourself, clean out the car, yourself.....so it's actually healthy to have a plan to stop every couple of hours at quilt stores ; )

Hope you have a safe, fun and great long weekend!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Road Trip Block 4

Meet block Number 4 of my Disappearing 4 Patch Blocks.

Not a fan of this color of pink, but I think it turned out kind of neat!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Road Trip!

One of the great things about growing up in Saskatchewan is that we learn from an early age that to go anywhere or do anything requires getting in your car and making a long trip.  The mail could be an hour away (seriously....).

To this day, I love a good road trip, and any chance I have to hit the open highway, I take it because it gives me such a sense of freedom.

Twice in the past week I have had the opportunity to travel back to central Alberta.  I LOVE the city and area of  Red Deer, and will always feel that this area is my second home : )

So, while there I had to stop at a few of the rural area quilt shops and that of course meant a stop at The Peaceful Patch Quilt Shop in Blackfalds, Alberta.  

While in there I found this bundle of orphan fabric looking for a good home:

So, I paid the "adoption" fee and brought it home with me.  Now, I probably don't need more fabric, so I figured I better to put it to good use sooner rather than later.

Here is what I have so far:

A Disappearing Four Patch block.  I have cut my squares at 5" to maximize my use of each fat quarter.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
