Fat Quarter Shop released Sewcialites 3, block #10 last Friday. Little Berry Block is designed by Pat Sloan.
The fabric I am using is
the Lyda Rose collection by Bunny Hill Designs, and it doesn’t have any greens
it. I copied Kimberly’s (Fat Quarter Shop) selection of fabrics so my strawberry
stem is brown.
We didn’t see any wild
strawberries on Sunday, but hubby and I took a couple of hikes with a local
group. The first trek was off the Blue Ridge Parkway (MM431) to the summit of
Richland Balsam Mountain.
We reached a 6, 410 foot above
sea level elevation and had some amazing views.
I think you can see Table Rock and a few other “famous” peaks. I need to
pay better attention next time.
After that loop, we
proceeded further up the parkway to MM417 so that we could hike down to Skinny
Dip Falls. We passed a tree name “Dragon
Tree.”
Skinny Dip Falls used to flow from way up in the mountain, but Hurricane Helene caused so much damage that it is now a series of just small falls. It was still very serene and enjoyable.
Rhododendrum
Red Trillium
We had lunch on the rocks before the day ended.
I hope you had a lovely
weekend and I wish you a wonderful week ahead. See
you soon.

Awesome hike! Love the photos too. I'm still on a hunt for a good video to "start" learning how to quilt a hotpad. Limited time, procrastination, etc etc.
What gorgeous scenery. And, what an elevation gain! Must have been wonderful to have lunch in such beautiful surroundings :-)
How neat that you have access to such views and great exercise! That is so interesting about the damage to Skinny Dip falls. it does look very inviting though.
