Today we took a break from painting and explored around the towns of Post Falls & Coeur d 'Alene. First stop was Caife Cistin.
To enjoy some Chinese green tea and Mexican spice mocha while enjoying the trendy atmosphere of Post Falls.
This was such a colorful mural I had to get a picture of it. 
I bought this German thimble at Wiggetts the antique mall in Coeur d 'Alene. I have found that good thimbles are cheaper at thrift stores and even antique malls than than at regular sewing shops. This antique thimble cost $8.00 and is sterling silver. The thimble is sitting on wallpaper from the Cheney cottage.
I arrived at Bear Paw Quilting before they opened to get a good parking space. You can tell I'm still not use to the cold weather yet.
I purchased this block of the month pattern for $2.00 (the umbrella material was included) and made this three dimensional pin wheel block. I mailed this quilt block back to the store to enter the drawing for pin wheel blocks other quilters have made. I hope I win.
The paper was backed with muslin on the wall. I can't believe the wallpaper still is vibrant after all these years.
