Good morning, my friends. I have to write fast this morning because we're heading on down the dusty trail today. Our time in Escondido has come to an end. By the end of today, we'll be in Boulder City, Nevada.
My slow-stitching was neglected yesterday morning. My first priority was to finish sewing together the final ten blocks for the Gumballs quilt. Smitty helped me lay them out for their picture.
One of the first things I'll do when we get there is to sew all the blocks together.
It was after lunch time by then, and so it was time to pack it all up. I'll have more time for sewing down the road. My next project...this being near Valentine's Day, and all...will be this "Vintage Valentine" from Temecula Quilt Company. You can find all the particulars for this project right here.
Backing up a little bit, I realized I'd forgotten to mention these pretty bottles of homemade vanilla from my friend, Debi. One is made from vodka, the other from rum. And with the price of vanilla these days, these are very much appreciated. Thanks, Debi. Aren't these pretty?

My daughter made vanilla with vodka several years ago. I've been using the same bottle ever since - just adding more vodka or another vanilla pod when it gets low. I'm curious about the flavor change that would come with rum. Bet it's yummy.
I'm sure Smitty was very happy to help you. It's outrageous how expensive vanilla is. It's also hard to find real vanilla here. Safe travels.
Ummm. Resident chef here makes Vanilla from Vodka too. It's nice. I know you will enjoy. Thanks for helping your Mom, Smitty.
Still very cold here. Send some warm weather this way. More flowers too...if you could. Thanks.
What lovely bottles of homemade vanilla extract. Very thoughtful gift and I'm sure is smells WONDERFUL. Your Valentine's Day project is going to be adorable, but probably too challenging for me. Still, I think you'll inspire me to make it.
Homemade vanilla - what a great gift! The prices of vanilla is a bit of a shock lately (along with TP).
We used to make vanilla until the price of the beans went through the roof. It's better than the stuff you buy so I know you're going to love it.
That's a nice V's Day project that should work up fairly quickly.
