Astrid and Marsha went on a road trip in the RV with C and P, to Oregon and Washington! Astrid finished up her Dutch quilt, before she left, but did not have time to come over and share it with us. Jane cleared off our design wall, so that we could put Astrid's latest creation up for us to see. This one is a quilt in the Dutch tradition, not just a design to reflect the image of a country. She even made the back of red fabric, as the Dutch do.
We had tea and a nice visit. She told us all the amazing things her and Marsha got to see in Oregon and Washington. They traveled on Highway 26 most of the way there. They stayed in a small town called Cascade Locks. They crossed the Bridge of the Gods to get to the Washington side of the Columbia River, where they visited the Bonneville Dam Interpretive Site. They got to see fish going up the fish ladder, in their upstream migration. They visited Multnomah Falls and got to see Mount Hood. They watched trains and visited the "Train Appreciation Park." They also stayed in a campground, in the Ochoco National Forest, just east of Prineville on the way to and from the Columbia River area.
