Another trip south

Wednesday, May 18, 2016

I have been crafting a quilt for my nephew (he is graduating high school already!), which you will see if it does not shame me by the time I am finished since it is the first non-rag quilt, and it is quite large, and I made up the pattern myself, and, and, and…

However, I am posting to say that crafting is belayed, once again, as I visit my brother, also once again but this time in Mexico. Here is the plan, minus the southern most stop (we had to cut that out as my trip time got cut to two weeks only).
