Hand stitching a little bit each day on the Paris ornament. Currently, I'm filling in the background and then the graphics can be stitched with fancy fibers. This project accompanied me on a trip out west while we toured the Canadian Rockies. There were lofty goals of stitching during relaxing moments. Honestly, there was not much stitching as we were on the go. I tried to stitch on the plane, but the lighting was not conducive nor was my concentration. Lol.
My oh my, Canadian readers, you have a real treasure with those spectacular mountains, rivers, and lakes. We visited Banff and Jasper National Parks and a quick drive through Yoho. We also visited an American national park, Glacier National Park in Montana.

Some quilt-related accomplishments were made. I visited two popular and well-stocked quilt stores. Both shops at one time or another have been a Top Ten quilt store per
Quilt Sampler. The first one was
The Sugar Pine Co. in Canmore, AB. The second was
Bear Paw Quilting in Coeur d'Alene, MT. It was luck and a treat to have been in those areas when the shops were open. Admittedly, I was overwhelmed and bought only a few fat quarters at each store.
When on is on vacation, one must expect the unexpected. This is a photo of one of our 'roadblocks' after a long and tiring day on the road. Lol.
Today I'm happy to be 'home sweet home' slow stitching with Kathy and friends at
Slow Sunday Stitching. Thanks for viewing some of our vacation photos!

Beautiful stitching and scenery. We had that same roadblock problem when we were there.
Your stitching is looking good. Fantastic holiday pictures, it looks so beautiful. Where I live we have to contend with horses and cattle in the road all the time and at this time of the year they release the pigs to eat the acorns so we will be dodging pigs too!
We were happy that we didn’t hit one. Thank you for visiting!
Gosh, you must allow extra travel time when driving to an appointment. Never knew that pigs eat acorns. Learn something new everyday. Lol.
Your little Paris piece is so pretty. I enjoyed your photo's..... even the cows!
Thank you. The cows in the road were a surprise to us suburbanites. Lol! We had a long day of travel and all we wanted to do is to get to our hotel and they showed up.
What beautiful scenery. It looks like an amazing trip . Yes, while traveling there's always the unexpected, but just more stories to tell.
This was quite the scenic trip. I'll keep it in mind that the next time we come across a roadblock, that it'll become a story. ;-)
