"Great Things Happen When People Ride Bikes!"


The title of this post is a sign for a local bike shop- I love it!!!

Jenny and Bri, I can imagine you would both agree with me?! 
Who else loves to pedal?

Years ago I spent more hours on a bike seat then I did in a car and I miss those days of competition with myself, climbing Wasatch Mountains and getting rescued by a Poop truck when hypothermic and can't feel my brakes...

And the whole reason why my husband and I met...we were only going to ride bikes on the weekends was our initial thinking.....Girl seeking boy to pedal with!

And the romatic memories of biking in Napa and Sonoma and Tandem riding around San Juan Island...

Ding Ding goes the bike bell and off I go to sew a fun little wonky neighborhood quilt with the above fabrics.

Beautiful fabrics Em, especially the one with the circles.
I also pedal around. Got a bike for Mother's day. Now I'm in the market for a new helmet.
