I really enjoyed seeing the animals in Iceland. Sheep are very common and a leading cause of car accidents!

The number of reindeer has decreased in recent years, but we saw a few herds.

The horses are beautiful and everywhere! They are smaller than most horses.

We saw puffins, but not up close.

I think my favorites were the seals.

We actually were able to get quite close. They were so fun to watch! They are quite playful.

This is Morris. He is a border collie that has retired from search and rescue work. He now lives at one of the campgrounds we stayed at. I fell in love and would have brought him home, if I could have!

Have a great day!

I’m back to work on the grad quilt. After I placed the rectangles, I added the strips.

And I’m nearly finished piecing these blocks. I wish I had made the strips narrower, but that’s a lesson for next time.

In case you are interested, I cut the original rectangles 9 inches by 10 inches. The rectangles were cut 2 inches by 10 inches. I cut the Large rectangles into two pieces by making a slice 3 inches from one side and inserting the strip. Easy peasy!

Have a great day!

These photos are all from the southern coast of Iceland. Our weather was foggy and cool, but we didn’t let that stop us. It gave the area a surreal beauty.

I loved the black sand beaches! The waves were unbelievably powerful.

This is the remains of a US Navy plane that crash landed on this beach in 1973.

So beautiful! Have a great day!

Yes, I know it’s Thursday! I’m talking about the store, Tuesday Morning. We stopped there after leaving Daughter #3’s house on Sunday. They had quite a few jelly rolls and layer cakes in stock. I really like Carolyn Friedlander’s fabric designs so I was excited to find these.

The price?

Yep, I can work with that. Have a great day!
