Riverside State Park

Riverside State Park is a two hour drive from where Hubby and I live.  Hubby and I visited the park last Sunday.  We will be back!

I don’t know why we haven’t spent more time there!  Maybe because I don’t get out much…working six days a week is a bit of a damper on travel time, but I ought to make more effort at getting out.  The park is a favorite hang-out of my oldest sister (right in her back yard). 

  • A quick shameless plug for my big sister…she has just published her second book…Mrs. Job’s Choice!  To learn about it, click to her website here.

Riverside State Park is full of outdoor fun…camping, hiking, rafting, horseback riding, outdoor photography and more!  So I grabbed my camera and had a great time practicing!

Slow Sunday Stitching

A small amount of hand work happened on the Farm Girl stitchery since last Sunday.

Good thing that there is no hurry.  Or what would be the point to a relaxing slow Sunday?

I plan on a slow Sunday drive today, so may not stitch.  Sometimes one just needs to get out and enjoy the view.

Meanwhile…remember this?

Lets Sew Quilt Along

I haven’t forgotten either.

So in spite of the heat and the day job, I have been working on free motion quilting.
