Hello from the Pacific NW!!
Happy weekend and Happy 4th of July!!

Things have been busy around here, I haven't had time to do a new post but I'll squeeze this one in.
I have more great photos to share and hopefully when it slows down around here I'll get photos of projects posted too. This morning we left on a road trip driving north.

We drove to La Conner, WA home of The Pacific NW Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum, formerly known as La Conner Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum. It's a great museum situated in a beautiful town. For Kaleidoscope of Butterflies, hosted by Ann and Cathy I'm sharing the photos of the Butterfly Garden across the street from the Pacific NW Quilt Museum.

From there we drove on north to Anacortes , where I got to visit the In Stitches Quilt Shop. 
This is another scenic town, they call themselves the 'Gateway to the San Juan Islands.'

The weather was fabulous and I had to put up the photo of Mt. Rainier taken in our neighborhood here this afternoon as we drove 'home.'

That's a lot for one day. I'm done here.

Again, have a good weekend and a Happy 4th of July.

I'll be by to visit!
