Because of my poor photography skills, I don't know if you can see that the fabrics include waves, palm trees, and starfish or that it's quilted all over with waves. Those Herberts love the West Coast, and who can blame them?
Then Josh and I went on vacation. Josh hadn't seen Central Oregon before so we visited Bend and Sisters. We met a legit watch maker in Sisters from whom we will purchase all our wrist and/or pocket time pieces in the future. The guy is an artist! I don't remember his name. But Josh got his card.
On the way home, we decided to track down some ghost towns, since Oregon has the most. We bought a book at Powell's before leaving the city, but since they deal mostly in used books, the only one on ghost towns we could find was 40 years old. Mistake! Although, it is the same book my Grandpa used when he and Grandma went on a ghost town tour in the '70s (no lies).
Our journey was kind of a bust, because in the last 40 years one of the towns from the book had completely disappeared and two others had kind of bounced back (good for them, though!). My unstable relationship with the camera was momentarily in good standing when I took this picture:
Too bad the only real abandoned building we saw was surrounded by barbed wire and "No Trespassing" signs. Oh well, it was nice to have a break, and I certainly enjoyed five whole days in a row with Josh!

The quilt is beautiful! We spent our 1 year anniversary in Sun River. Loved it!
We love, love, love the quilt! Dax does his tummy time on it! :)
I'm glad you liked it! I always get so nervous about making something like that!
