SIMPLY SOPHISTICATED DESIGN WITH A TASTE OF THE UNEXPECTED.

Refresh, Renew, Reinspire


jill here....It was my husband's idea.  He was the brains and the brut strength.  I was not the beauty (no make-up, no mirrors, no bathrooms);  only a hat to cover a bad hair day!  But, the backpacking was refreshing and the views absolutely beautiful.  The only bad news for 10 days was the ranger's forecast.  Here's a few photos from my phone...


This was the first trailhead.  Note the sign of the bear.  Yes, Mike saw three (I was relaxing)!




The little city connected to our adventure was charming.  It was a great juxtaposition of old and modern.  There was a built in break to shop at three wonderful quilt shops (staked my claim from the get go)!

The photo doesn't do justice to our first national park's beauty.

Be one of the first five comments to correctly name the park and we'll send you a Tasty Measures pattern.   A comment of what inspires you this summer would be nice too!

'Till next Tuesday...

    Ahhhh... Yellowstone! Gorgeous. I gee up in Montana and now live in Florida. This summer I'm inspired by the movement of the ocean. I need to make a storm at sea quilt.

    Yellowstone National Park - Several of your quilting patterns are inspiring me to make a few more quilts for my grandchildren this summer.

    Yellowstone?
    I work a lot during the summer, so I don't really enjoy it. I am more a fall person. I am looking forward to Yankee Doodle Pops in Des Moines on Thursday.
