My sister Denise and I volunteered at Multnomah Falls yesterday. It was a typical Winter day - cold, misty and the occasional drizzle. People would come into the Visitors Center to warm up, their jackets covered with raindrops. I worked on my Flowers in the Snow blanket and many of the visitors remarked about it, saying how their grandmother made crochet blankets, how they couldn't crochet, one guy told his girlfriend that he knew how.. that was cute. I snapped this photo right after we locked up the VC, at 5 pm, on our way to our cars. The clouds were very low.
Not many people there in the plaza at that time of day, in that kind of weather, on a thursday. :-)
We noted that the clouds were hanging low on the cliffs across the Columbia River in Washington State - and the sun was shining too.
The Columbia River Gorge is full of beauty.
I wanted to show you the beautiful quilt that my sister made for our niece's baby Rosemary. I delivered it for her as she caught a cold on her trip to Costa Rica and didn't want to expose our niece and the baby. Isn't it neat? I love the brightness of the white and the primary colors.
I will head off to the pool today. Brrrrr. But it's good for my heart so I will go. Even though Gracie won't be there, she got invited to stay at the beach with some friends. Have a good weekend! Do you have plans? We don't. Just some more flowers in my blanket. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Your photos are beautiful; nothing can compare to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. You sister did an amazing job on creating this beautiful quilt. I'm sure it will be a much cherished gift. My family is off to celebrate my son-in-law's birthday today. We're expecting some much needed rain - hopefully it will make an appearance today. My best to you. Hugs, Pat
ReplyDeleteAh, pretty, pretty, Multnomah Falls. I never get tired of seeing it. We started out with sunshine this morning but the clouds have come back in. The quilt is absolutely beautiful. I just know that the baby will enjoy being snuggled up in it. :-). The only plans we have for the weekend is a memorial service tomorrow afternoon, and we always have breakfast on Saturday morning with friends. Of course church Sunday morning. Other than that it will be quiet time around here I think. Have a lovely weekend with your blanket Teresa. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty, the falls are a real delight. Love the quilt such a beautiful gift. \I am hoping to catch up with some outside jobs over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, nature at its best. Enjoy your weekend and adding to your blanket. We're off to visit Daisy and Co :0) x
ReplyDeleteOh that quilt is adorable! Perfect for a child!
ReplyDeleteThe photos of the falls and VC are so pretty. I just never tire of seeing them.
Have a good weekend Teresa. We are expecting lots of rain. I hope we get to continue our search for a travel trailer. This will be our third weekend at it.

That quilt is just so sweet. I really like the primary colors. No plans here. The softball season starts on Monday, so I am going to rest up. lol
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt Denise! So vibrant & cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI love Multnomah Falls all year long, but this time of year is special. Your photo's take me there when I can't get away. Thank you!
Hope Dayle is doing better everyday.
Take care and have a nice weekend.
You're a great ambassador for crochet Teresa ! Great opportunity to get more of your blanket done - especially as it was a quiet day. That quilt your sister made is absolutely gorgeous and I'm betting it will become a family heirloom. Lovely gift for a new bub. xox
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing the Falls. How lovely they are! Great quilt
ReplyDeleteLove the primary colors in your sister's baby quilt. Such a simple design that will be long appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAahhh my only sister was named Denise too! That is truly a beautiful part of the world you live in! Pat xx
ReplyDeleteYour Colombia River Gorge is so similar to our Marlborough Sounds top of the South Island in N.Z.A most beautiful spot. I used to live in the town of Picton the port town head of the sounds. I miss it very much.Lovely quilt Teresa.
ReplyDeleteThe misty falls photo was great. Such a perfect example of gorge weather.
ReplyDeleteI really like the baby quilt! Rosemary is certain to treasure it as she grows.
Amazing images. I just love when the clouds are low like that. Pretty cool. The quilt your sister made is very cheery indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe falls look magical Teresa, I showed DH and said if we did the trip to Oregon -( I have been going on about for ages :-) we would visit these falls - I am chipping away at the idea.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is truly lovely - lucky baby. Hugs Anne x
