We're enjoying cooler temps and do you know what that means?

Yup, that's right, the John C. Campbell Folk School Fall Festival is right around the corner.

Here is the dairy barn, the main location for most activities.  Mark your calendars for Saturday / Sunday, October 5th and 6th.  If you want to shop, come very early on Saturday, say around 8:30 am.  You'll get the first parking spots and will be here before the vendors open, but will miss all the traffic congestion.  If you just want to visit, come when it's less crowded on Sunday.

If you're coming in from out of town, make reservations for the Holiday Inn Express here in Murphy.  Their rates are reasonable and it's a very nice hotel.

If you want directions on how to get to the folk school using the back roads, just e-mail me.  If you go through Brasstown, traffic will be backed up to South Carolina.

Now that you've caught up on blog reading, go out and enjoy this beautiful day.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Thoughtful Thursday

End-of-Summer is putting on a glorious show of hues.  As we await the brilliance of Fall, I'm so glad we live in a climate of continual color.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Company tour

Company came on Saturday, so we headed on over to the J.C. Campbell Folk School and took the Doll-ster for a good long walk.  

The babies are growing by leaps and bounds.  Here's a rare shot, both have their tongues out enjoying the taste of cold watermelon on a hot day.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

A Bun and His Bench

A whole yard full of grass and this is what I found Samson doing the other day.  Just hanging out, enjoying the scenery and cool mountain breezes.  Smart Bun!

Next up on the design wall, an 8-year-old project waiting for some very fun sashing.  Ohhh the ideas are percolating.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
