Hello from Northern California!
Where we are enjoying spring walks along the American River.
Yes, we made the move from compacted Los Angeles, Southern CA, back to the north where life is a little more relaxed and less complicated. People here are of course practicing social distancing and many are wearing masks but there are less people here and they tend to live slower lives.
We are in temporary housing and won't be able to unpack for a bit so it's vacation time. Also I'm using a new tablet so getting used to it is a challenge. This is the first time posting on it so we'll see how it goes!
I brought my current hand quilting project along. No sewing machine for a while.
And that quilt friends is the Monday news where life is good. I hope you're all busy and well.
I'll be by to visit!
It looks like a nice place to be. Hand quilting is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh beautiful hand quilting on your sampler Janie and I didn't know that you were moving location - the scenery on your walk is a delight, lucky you. Keep well and enjoy like in Northern California.
ReplyDeleteYour hand quilting is looking so good! Love it! Hope your new home is working out well. Looks like a gorgeous place!:)
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you are in a less crowded place now, enjoy your walks and I am sure you will be happy hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteI am having a good time handpicking my log cabin blocks. It is such a nice pattern.
Stay safe.
Did you have trouble moving? I'm glad your are out of LA for a while at least. It is fun to see all the flowers on our daily walks. You sampler is coming along beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Ann. No, we didn't have any trouble moving, the restrictions are for unnecessary travel. The lease was up good time to get out. We won't be going back anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteLove it here in NorCal!
I must admit I found L.A. overwhelming and a little crazy when I visited so I can imagine the contrast for you now in a less populated area. California is a beautiful place so I'm sure you had lots of areas to tempt you.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures from your walk Janie and as ever, your work makes me happy, the vibrancy...it's always so 'alive'. Stay safe x
Being where it's less populated can't help but be a good thing. So nice to have a slower pace of life I'm sure. It will be even better once you get a more permanent residence. In the meantime, hand stitching is very calming!
ReplyDeleteHand stitchin is good in these stressful times. Glad it is slower and less populated. Thanks for taking us on your walk with you
ReplyDeleteMoving to a less populated area sounds such a sensible move and it is certainly very pretty. I love the curves in that bridge.
