Then you look for the fabrics that are special or remind you of things you saw or did on the trip.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The pattern of the quilt is called "Kings Crown", so I quilted the "crown" piecing with a crown design freehand.<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3440" data-original-width="4608" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuBLQ71rgBQKnIW81bWLua1DhVNz3BRBqBnKRsWMbYPqnhfTlnHV2HcY-mlj6LMq10poVtsFCYLE7aYdJDNDL_roC5Asfw3PnWo_KbBd68bMoSGUjsw45VB_MgvCEOaWK_FfGOyW037iLQKHoTrpo02p3fOHQ0_cp2JJ4QqI4bQ6m8Xf4cvxcQYYxjX4/s320/fugarwe%20(6).JPG" width="320" />So, we have a piece from the Canada panel to indicate that we biked across the border a total of 4 times. (Twice in one day just because we could while we were at Niagara Falls. And we can now say that we have "crossed the Rainbow Bridge" on bikes!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Beer can lids and wine labels because alcohol was an important part of the end of every day. Clearly, we needed water fabric to represent Lake Ontario, and the falls, and the blue with bike gears because Xande and I didn't have anything like that in our stash.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The key fabric is in honor of darling brother Joe who got up one morning and unlocked the sag vehicle to load up suitcases. Then kept the keys and started to ride. Got a call about 2 hours in from our sag driver, Becky, wondering where the keys might be. Sure enough! Joe's jersey pocket! He got extra miles that day riding back to our AirB&B, but then rode with Becky to where he had turned around. I know that we are competitive for miles, but this is ridiculous!<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqr4ZEET86z5eDF2pv-kSmEH8JaeZAq3NLLERJqWuGo8LviC2WWzTu9IY62FrjnhCS_uhTndOUOzoFF_wMur4JCWSzrOwxXEaaojbzv9NkVKt91__2622H8KLntikFQ1PXZNmXKbXmy3lkHWIRCnhOl6SNA90rsfbXAh2oogDgx0l0PDb5g25xzCbEy8/s4608/fugarwe%20(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3440" data-original-width="4608" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqr4ZEET86z5eDF2pv-kSmEH8JaeZAq3NLLERJqWuGo8LviC2WWzTu9IY62FrjnhCS_uhTndOUOzoFF_wMur4JCWSzrOwxXEaaojbzv9NkVKt91__2622H8KLntikFQ1PXZNmXKbXmy3lkHWIRCnhOl6SNA90rsfbXAh2oogDgx0l0PDb5g25xzCbEy8/s320/fugarwe%20(1).JPG" width="320" />Maps on the back for all the time that poor Joe had to figure out where we went from there.</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />And found a crown motif to quilt in the empty spaces in the blocks for Joe<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBKNuhelRMAvxF9wY698cbShIUmCne_9u9_I2U0TMO7AInpJJQrlW9xMQgYYoO7HUh4MBPsKc_l9zv84JLij8_tl8jihQaKhxeoebp7NQCygy9faWFi_RZLO8BqKmbpGTIY-qfkLjPLhtXI_TrdxM95i0RREN8ATwKLPrnRj49x3_SJmnljg_6wg8jpJI/s4608/fugarwe%20(4).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3440" data-original-width="4608" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBKNuhelRMAvxF9wY698cbShIUmCne_9u9_I2U0TMO7AInpJJQrlW9xMQgYYoO7HUh4MBPsKc_l9zv84JLij8_tl8jihQaKhxeoebp7NQCygy9faWFi_RZLO8BqKmbpGTIY-qfkLjPLhtXI_TrdxM95i0RREN8ATwKLPrnRj49x3_SJmnljg_6wg8jpJI/s320/fugarwe%20(4).JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Considering there are at least 2 fabrics about beer, and one for wine, there was a LOT of dirnking.

Also ice cream, although gelato was the preferred snack for the afternoon. On the last day, we rode up and over the Berkshires on our last day. Joe's phone app shows a mild elevation gain, and about a total of 60 miles round trip. We should have looked at Beth's app, because mine showed some serious climbing. But since Beth can't be trusted when it comes to navigation, we went with Joe's. FINALLY got over the border, and found the quilt shop. Then we called Xande for a ride home. But I had to get the fabric representative of New England, even if I can't find anything about Massachusetts on what I included in teh quilt<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ0gBd0n4jJN1XkkHamXkog8euex36kdhIh9n8HERBfPpUOAh2Iot-uEHmkDmeltUzlILeR-vY7qVhnEtoUc-yLimjfenP-PK7MkUemFLeEHfpHWzxWYeEf9SK1NThfVrBci33jOKodELIcLDuK91dRsopuzAM3AhNyyLro4qRbmHUdkfsctSIUzBfdfw/s4608/fugarwe%20(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3440" data-original-width="4608" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ0gBd0n4jJN1XkkHamXkog8euex36kdhIh9n8HERBfPpUOAh2Iot-uEHmkDmeltUzlILeR-vY7qVhnEtoUc-yLimjfenP-PK7MkUemFLeEHfpHWzxWYeEf9SK1NThfVrBci33jOKodELIcLDuK91dRsopuzAM3AhNyyLro4qRbmHUdkfsctSIUzBfdfw/s320/fugarwe%20(7).JPG" width="320" /></a></div>The computer cords are to represent "The charging station" that Xande brought. One plug into the wall, and then about 14 different places for us to charge phones, bike computers and lights. One of the first to get unpacked each night. Also, cobblestones for when we were in town and above, the pebbles are for the "stone dust" along the Eerie Canal. Essentially really hard packed sand. Not difficult to ride on, but you wouldn't want a steady diet of it.<p></p><p>I found a couple of pieces of Sesame Street prints Since Joe brought along 3 of his many Sesame Street jerseys, those had to be included. The green and orange.... The green started when I found a large piece of it on clearance at our first stop.

You start in New York State, and then ride into Canada, and finally back across the border once more. Oh, and you stop at all the quilt quilt shops that you can find to purchase fabrics of things that reminded you of your trip.<p></p><p>The center panel actually came from the Sew What quilt shop in NY state. Loved the name, and had a good time with the women who worked there, I "needed" a small Canadian flag, and the only way to get it was to purchase the entire panel.

This one is particularly memorable because while riding over this type of road, Joe hit a pothole and broke the seatpost on his bike. He was able to find a "bike repair shop" in that town, so we rode there. Turns out it is mostly a porn store, and a few bike parts in the back. Joe went to the back, while I wandered out front, trying not to laugh or be aghast. The front door had many signs indicating that you needed to be over 18 years of age, that there were X rated items inside. Just remembering that was a highlight of the trip. And by the way, he didn't have anything that would work for Joe's seatpost.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The calm water fabric reminded me of riding along the Erie Canal section of our ride. Smooth roads, calm water, very peaceful. Also the water above Niagara Falls looked like this at times too.

Had stopped for coffee very near to the stream in town. There were all these salmon spawning, and so thick you could probably have caught them with your hands. Most people were doing catch and release, and a local said something about toxins in the water.<br /> <p></p><p>This quilt is completely made from leftovers. Leftover fabrics on the top, but the backing is made from squares of flannel fabrics from previous projects. Even the batting is pieced together. All quilted with a loose meander to represent the way our bike route would wander as we took wrong turns. So much fun. <br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089057206094008723.post-13212966727843408672024-03-01T13:50:00.000-08:002024-03-01T13:50:45.779-08:00Wooden Shoes by Kim<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXs78oS3J_4O8pPyREvX4U2pvyclRisjaE_ger0tEHFg89r7wN2vLmQhQWtDt-kmwE5IV0Kxo6DQP3v7wxxtRguvRgk0en4MBRdp-bttb7yTMN-gXL5mkABBdxwWico_wOg90J_3Ci_LRyuyyQ30mGYa8hGVRkw8pGGreG1tNFlhfEAOU95E-FEQRAHcg/s4608/wooden%20shoes%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3440" data-original-width="4608" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXs78oS3J_4O8pPyREvX4U2pvyclRisjaE_ger0tEHFg89r7wN2vLmQhQWtDt-kmwE5IV0Kxo6DQP3v7wxxtRguvRgk0en4MBRdp-bttb7yTMN-gXL5mkABBdxwWico_wOg90J_3Ci_LRyuyyQ30mGYa8hGVRkw8pGGreG1tNFlhfEAOU95E-FEQRAHcg/s320/wooden%20shoes%20(2).JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZKsXEeE82Zwx2ekv2NXKNwC2_tw0tSRWXjUn-kWVoHmrbnGf6eIqSmtB3_YX_8tEjSryzHKyXDRvO_JB1Bee9_JesoSI2qR6-G9jT-BbB6GgsASzk30qP2yPRiwgINHci6MmCWWfRDa06gDXSOxRPlAm_TpzixL4-mqp4fcbqpoHnr3vYFRMlXZte4Uo/s4608/wooden%20shoes%20(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZKsXEeE82Zwx2ekv2NXKNwC2_tw0tSRWXjUn-kWVoHmrbnGf6eIqSmtB3_YX_8tEjSryzHKyXDRvO_JB1Bee9_JesoSI2qR6-G9jT-BbB6GgsASzk30qP2yPRiwgINHci6MmCWWfRDa06gDXSOxRPlAm_TpzixL4-mqp4fcbqpoHnr3vYFRMlXZte4Uo/s320/wooden%20shoes%20(1).JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDNHPw_7Xni5QqGKMBVRamur-fq7tPJqd-GeU8cxb7ssKR_mVYDBIEeksTYyX_Y4nbIPn0R65ygYDpDe3OP_w3iPQ_x_WGYOusYnA9LEpAknSUK6ZdcNE8Vw1lZH477Wbpu77A9oVmoWVNi4KCJFfeVRa831UZMooeJxaDfwVsgMl83KU1jBxki_cOmcs/s4608/wooden%20shoes%20(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDNHPw_7Xni5QqGKMBVRamur-fq7tPJqd-GeU8cxb7ssKR_mVYDBIEeksTYyX_Y4nbIPn0R65ygYDpDe3OP_w3iPQ_x_WGYOusYnA9LEpAknSUK6ZdcNE8Vw1lZH477Wbpu77A9oVmoWVNi4KCJFfeVRa831UZMooeJxaDfwVsgMl83KU1jBxki_cOmcs/s320/wooden%20shoes%20(3).JPG" width="239" />What an adorable quilt for a soon to arrive baby in Holland!</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope you noticed the wooden shoes and Tulip quilting design.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kim will also be traveling for a bike and barge trip in Holland in March, so I hope she will get to meet the baby when she is there.<br /></div><br /><br /> <p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089057206094008723.post-80199484657971870482024-03-01T13:47:00.000-08:002024-03-01T13:47:21.356-08:00"Traverse" by Deanna<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKbZ-EF3UCFGRTdKHZfNoG8Vx8K6ODhtS0Ds9Ex2nsjlD2b7LoXLdLGeJpfNLjErZyGQBV9BS36vK5T-V5Lyyud_tDRQWoX4OqwwNwMfhx3jF8o6kO_C24kJ8VqCwUWeIGoc-Yrj5MnAd6IkHsVbwYzkF5GqdsydNmLqlOtLtAH0pc9iEIDy98J2toqvA/s320/Traverse.JPG" width="239" />I was so pleased to see that Deanna had made a part of this quilt with foundation piecing.

Stunning as always. <br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6gM0eOIN7M9cd8FpSksJLobhE7i60ECPwNvQ4AOogMtEQNoYWEWiM-TkTU3uG4N7yYDtZAYy01h5WcA7rWYoWNE_0mddA0LWAgr1hCe4ZzT1b6gnoRWoWRETIw_xQt_TWspq6jOFhMNfpZ5ubUmaLk_Af-WkKiWLB90hB94irCqP8PAawdJI27WyQMds/s4608/Leigh%20003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6gM0eOIN7M9cd8FpSksJLobhE7i60ECPwNvQ4AOogMtEQNoYWEWiM-TkTU3uG4N7yYDtZAYy01h5WcA7rWYoWNE_0mddA0LWAgr1hCe4ZzT1b6gnoRWoWRETIw_xQt_TWspq6jOFhMNfpZ5ubUmaLk_Af-WkKiWLB90hB94irCqP8PAawdJI27WyQMds/s320/Leigh%20003.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoPSHgRsZE6fHATPhA30vtoH7t6vmxlt_318gGOGXwva8C_3HDJJKBM0udibUfMXYdvHsqiaSbO60D_kbsWEoT9S_nvBhFw6gltMBFwFDCdTw5rbI2Xwd6PhHjypyi6Wl83LDWbk1nNExuSltvZuANCEDkKov-HXNaEqSoOLxGy9SSp70ASzUreU56SlU/s4608/Leigh%20004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoPSHgRsZE6fHATPhA30vtoH7t6vmxlt_318gGOGXwva8C_3HDJJKBM0udibUfMXYdvHsqiaSbO60D_kbsWEoT9S_nvBhFw6gltMBFwFDCdTw5rbI2Xwd6PhHjypyi6Wl83LDWbk1nNExuSltvZuANCEDkKov-HXNaEqSoOLxGy9SSp70ASzUreU56SlU/s320/Leigh%20004.JPG" width="239" />I love the stitching on the stone walls.<br /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzwz4oH9LoYdd1k3ovtt_bL_iMd22r0s9300BFuTrqM9cAJ9pP3caT2NPWx7OVFfW7TRQr1dgdCp2vW3JBNuoXvqoBwH-siDwlZGYuj1Me1snU9TjD2uNi56MH1RQ-1SLfhyphenhyphen9qJ_Aw1VV-WfA_sGDG6q0bNhMFgF_IWmeNv_J4RLmoDslkbNJdVAL98vo/s4608/Leigh%20005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzwz4oH9LoYdd1k3ovtt_bL_iMd22r0s9300BFuTrqM9cAJ9pP3caT2NPWx7OVFfW7TRQr1dgdCp2vW3JBNuoXvqoBwH-siDwlZGYuj1Me1snU9TjD2uNi56MH1RQ-1SLfhyphenhyphen9qJ_Aw1VV-WfA_sGDG6q0bNhMFgF_IWmeNv_J4RLmoDslkbNJdVAL98vo/s320/Leigh%20005.JPG" width="239" />This phrase is my favoirite<br /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiuAeTzlnfmF-c7ZAj8KId2ltnLejBSjT2_dbaYEVuwVneUuPW-iRUGSYb7YurFiIBg82hSNg9LvEZx0rMT5hd9pU0jp2DAFZVNrNknra8IjfncsHSgbP4sTdRStEJ6x5v6-2a6Fd_wTx_a3uI42bqFf1Eqi-mvxh1osodqBb6t_QsWVw_IgsnRq9Dvw/s4608/Leigh%20006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiuAeTzlnfmF-c7ZAj8KId2ltnLejBSjT2_dbaYEVuwVneUuPW-iRUGSYb7YurFiIBg82hSNg9LvEZx0rMT5hd9pU0jp2DAFZVNrNknra8IjfncsHSgbP4sTdRStEJ6x5v6-2a6Fd_wTx_a3uI42bqFf1Eqi-mvxh1osodqBb6t_QsWVw_IgsnRq9Dvw/s320/Leigh%20006.JPG" width="239" />This is "Tucker", her sweet dog.<br /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089057206094008723.post-55044380485170760452024-01-25T14:42:00.000-08:002024-01-25T14:42:30.304-08:00"Dad's T-shirts for Missy"<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3440" data-original-width="4608" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbwjjhL7bUTYv7Rq9oZGtSdm6XOYKVKUEvurk1fzDlLaRmCcVH6m0n8Ploy45Jp6VjxbTzL-L9knuQlPnnYRdjE_T7F5P3kvV2x8Bj6djS7LjryYbk7BaLKZCBuzPyavGgy0kGNf7choCd1l9nDbG5sUsOtPXFHDcpAO7OHBJim3ttECha7Uj5FYxatAM/s320/Dad's%20shirts%20small%20(2).JPG" width="320" />I'm sorry to say that Missy's father passed away, so she had me make this quilt for her mother.

The blue ink will wash away the first time the quilt top is laundered, so I was not allowed to press the top before quilting.
