Weekend Getaway

My very good friend, Diana, who sparked my interest in quilting, invited me up to Show Low / Pinetop to visit her sister, Carolyn.  Actually, the Vance sisters (Carolyn, Diana Jean Anne, and Janie) invited me to a quilt show in California and got me hooked on jelly roll quilts.

We went to Show Low to work in a quilt shop for the day - helping out a friend of Carolyn's.  It was busy and we had a good time.  After spending the day in the store, we did a little sightseeing, shopping.  One of our stops was the Burly Bear in Pinetop.  They carve the bears out of tree stumps and everything in the store is related to bears.  It was really quaint.

Bears were everywhere!
