Dinosaur Space Quilt

I decided to make a dinosaur space quilt for my husband's birthday. Here is how I made it so I don't forget.

I first cut out square out of the green fabric (on sale at Jonans) I then cut out dinosaur shapes that I traced from the computer.

I then cut out fabric and appliqué lining and ironed the pieces together we then did an appliqué stitch putting the dinosaur on the square block.

Then I cut out three inch strips to put between the blocks. 

 I then made longer strips I learned that it is okay to have the strips at any length since you will not be able to see the sew line.

My Grandma quilted it and then I hand stiched the border with blind stitches. Fabric Mill is where I ended up getting most of the planets fabric and the space fabric. 

Oregon

I got a few days off work and Dane and I went to Oregon. It was so beautiful I have been to Oregon twice now and still want to go back there is still tons to see. 

This waterfall is in Crater Lake National Park. Crater Lake was so fun! There were lots of mosquitos so make sure to bring repellent. Also you can book boat rides on the lake but you can only do it twenty four hours in advance and you have to go there in person to book it.

The water was so breathtakingly blue!

We then headed towards the coast. We followed the Umpqua  River  for a really long ways. I still cannot believe how beautiful it was!

We then made it to the coast! Here we are at Cape Cove near the Heceta Light House. 

Dane is at Thor's Well at Cape Perpetua. Cape Perpetua was really beautiful with a lot of little trails to go on. 

We then went to the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. That was neat to learn more about them. (I need to learn on more on them)  If we had planned it more in advance I think I would have maybe tried to kayak there. We went on a hike near there it was so gorgeous. There was also hardly anybody on the trails it was really nice! It was a temperate rain forest and the perfect temperature! 

Dane and I then went to Cape Disappointment in Washington (it is another place Lewis and Clark went to) There was a lighthouse it had a lot more people than some of the others places we went to. I thought the name was so funny. There also was a place called Dismal Niche :) 

I loved Oregon. I feel like there are a million more places I need to see there.
