Olympic Park Utah
I've always been fascinated with the Olympic pin trading. These were arranged inside a snow flake design and reminded me of a appliqued tile quilt. |

Block 72. I cut out the design in freezer paper first then ironed the red fabric to the paper before appliqueing the design. |

Just takes 2
I've got nothing to show over at WIP Wednesday even though I am working away on kitting up these blocks to take with me when I travel. Here's what I do, cut out the fabrics , prepare them for applique and put them all in Ziplocks. Now when I have to wait at an airport, or while sitting in a plane, train or car I can stitch my Just takes 2 blocks. Happy Sewing, Kim

Orca Bay finally finished..A Bonnie Hunter mystery
Orca Bay, designed by Bonnie Hunter and made with the quiltvillechat group as an online mystery. |
Bonnie Hunter designs a quilt then gives it to us as a mystery. It is so fun to sew it section by section then watch it come together as the clues mount up to a full sized quilt.
The one in the picture is now in one of Bonnie's books and you can't get the pattern for free. Her books are amazing, crammed with quilts, techniques and easy to follow instructions. I hope you take advantage of this generous offer and enjoy sewing the mystery over the holidays with Bonnie.
I'm going to link up with Amanda Jean over at finish it up finish it up Friday :0) and Sara over at Can I get a whoop whoop? :0), come see what's getting done by all the other bloggers.
Happy Sewing, I can't believe it is really November, Kim

Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park
Before this bridge became a state park this massive 1.28 mile steel structure was know as the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge, an Industrial Age superstar that once bore the weight of 3,500 freight cars a day.
When trains began rumbling over the bridge in 1888, it was the longest bridge in the world-a title it held for over a year. It became a key transportation hub linking western raw materials to eastern industrial centers, until a fire in 1974 crippled the railroad bridge and it fell into disrepair and an uncertain future.
It took another 35 years before a grassroots nonprofit called Walkway Over the Hudson was able to successfully galvanize public and private support in the Hudson Valley and statewide to save the historic bridge and transform it into the park it is today.
The bridge re-opened on October 3, 2009 after a two-year construction effort. Today the Walkway is the longest elevated pedestrian park in the world, returning it to the record books after 121 years.

Can you see the Fallkill in the backgound? It was once used to power this old industrial building in Poughkeepsie. |
