We spent most of our time catching up with friends, eating out at our favorite places, and enjoying a delicious Memorial Day brunch eating, among other goodies, omelets in a bag. Have you ever had them? If not, you can find out how to make them here.
I did finish my Gadget Girl's Tool Kit by learning how to make bias binding from a Craftsy tutorial. Just click here for that tutorial. It's all ready to fill up and use.
One of my favorite things to do while we "lived" at Park of the Sierras was to meet up with the quilting group every Tuesday while we were in the park. And yesterday was Tuesday so I got to enjoy the company of some wonderful women while doing what I love most, quilting.
It was during this time that I made the binding I mentioned above and also cut a lot of strips for another Quilts of Valor quilt. Another new learning experience was to add mitered corner borders to some blocks for that quilt. Yep, another Craftsy tutorial that can be found my clicking here.

Today I'm linking up with Let's Bee Social over at Sew Fresh Quilts. I hope you'll join me over there.
Happy Stitching,
Wonderful picture of the park, it looks so serene and lovely. Your toolkit is fab with the polka dot binding. Enjoy your new home at Yosemite, I haven't been there either.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for commenting and I apologize for taking so long to respond, but we're in a dead zone. :( The park is fantastic so be sure to put it on your bucket list.
DeleteGreat fabric choice for you cute little tool kit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki. It was some fabric I had purchased a few years back while headed for Glacier National Park.
DeleteI think it is wonderful you get to meet up with people and sew / quilt along the way! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun way to meet people while seeing parts of our beautiful country. Thanks for stopping by Yvonne.
DeleteYour toolkit is a bright & happy finish! I am so impressed with your photography, really a beautiful picture. Have fun in Yosemite!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi for your wonderful remarks. You made my day. :) Yosemite has been fantastic and we'll be sad to leave, but look forward to our next adventure.
DeleteI love the fabric you used for your tool kit. So bright and fun. Do you get to meet up with a lot of quilters during your travels?
ReplyDeleteThanks Tish. I bought the flowered fabric at a little quilt shop in Libby, MT on our way to Glacier National Park. It has since closed which is really sad as it was a great shop. I do meet quilters along the way. It is amazing how many quilters are out there traveling and sewing as they go.
DeleteI've never heard of omelet in a bag, but I will definitely be trying it now! Love your sweet tool kit! :)
