HOME FROM OUR TRIP AND BACK TO SEWING PROJECTS

We just got back on Thursday from our riverboat trip from Memphis to Nashville.  Wonderful trip and we took lots of photos.  Glad to be home, tons of fun , but we both are wiped out.  

Yes, we stopped at Paducah and toured the National Quilt Museum.  What a treat and was able to take lots of photo there too.


Our last two days we spent in Nashville and stayed at the Gaylord Hotel.  It is huge and with the most unbelievable gardens, river ways and waterfalls.  Over 200 gardeners maintain it.  The entire hotel is under a glass ceiling so one very large green house.  They even have boats you can take throughout the hotel on the river the weaves through the entire complex.  

The only thing I have accomplished in the last couple of days is a few more flowers on the Flower Pot pattern.  Plus a few more petals on my Alex Anderson's neutral project.  Hope to get in more sewing time this week.

Came home to an update of our daughter's newest puppy Loki.  He is 18 weeks old and now weighs 72 pounds.  Cute little guy, not sure little is the exact term I would apply to him, but she says he is very mellow, well behaved and obviously growing like a weed.

  1. Wow to the hotel pics! All the green and water is foreign to our dry SoCalif scenery. What fun! Puppy is 72 lbs already, yikes!

  3. That trip to Nashville sounds fantastic - the hotel looks amazing! Loki is adorable, I can't imagine a puppy weighing that much!

  4. I love the Gaylord and all it's plants and waterways! Years ago there was a quilt show there and I went. I need to go back as we love Nashville! Your riverboat trip sounds like a blast!! Your project is so cute as is, Loki! I definitely wouldn't call him little though! My part Aussie rescue weighs about 70 lbs and the vet keeps fussing at us to put her on a diet! Have a great week!

  6. Welcome home. Hope your energy picks up. You make me want to visit the Gaylord and take a river boat cruise. Hum.... might look into that one of these days. Cute puppy but 72 lbs would be way over my ability to take care of! But I sure enjoy pictures of him.

  18. Geez, Loki is growing in leaps & bounds. What a fun trip you had. I've been through the Gaylord and have enjoyed Paducah many times during Quilt Week!

  19. He is a beautiful pup. My Loki is 5 lbs at 15 months and would likely fit in this Loki's mouth. Love your applique block.
