Barn Quilt.
Marc- We are back home in Vermont just one day before an ice storm is due to hit the area. As we departed Hershey we passed through a lot of agricultural areas that strongly resemble the Champlain Valley in Vermont without the mountains in the distance. Our first stop was in "Bird in Hand", Lancaster County to visit a quilt shop Sue discovered when we passed through here in January.
Goodbye Hershey.
Moving hay bales.

They even have tie up posts for the Amish who come here in their horse drawn buggies (not shown).
One of several large display rooms.
Quits are available for purchase fully finished or in kit form.
Amazing pattern.
Three dimensional illusion work.
I enjoy the contrasts here.
Sue - It's great to be home. We lucked out with weather. It was never too hot when we were down South, and it was not cold coming North. We saw Spring emerging all the way north until NJ. We arrived home to 60+ degree weather and the snow is gone. We stopped at a Walmart in Queensbury, NY and the parking lot had mountains of snow that will probably take some time to melt. We bought antifreeze there, as we know the trailer has to be winterized again. We have no illusions that the weather will stay above freezing.
We had a nice Winter with friends and family. You can't beat being able to get outside whenever you want, and not fear slipping, sliding and personal injury. And the quilt stores were great. So inspiring. I will never have enough time to sew all the fabric I bought, but I will try! Winter is sewing season, and I missed out on much of it. I'll see what I can do to try and catch up.
Thanks to all who followed our blog this Winter! Hope Spring will come to you, wherever you are, SOON.
