Found!
Hi All,
You all know we're softies when it comes to animals. We were driving East on I-84 a few days ago heading for the shop when we came across a lab mix puppy who we think had been dumped. She was in traffic trying to stop semi's and cars so we pulled over. She ran right over and flopped down on her back so I could scratch her belly! She didn't have a collar, no homes around, and she was thin and dehydrated. Needless to say, we are now foster parents looking for someone who can give her a good home. She is very gentle and loving and is very good with our 2 other dogs, 3 cats and children. Let us know if you can help!
Thanks!
Only 18 days left!
Hi all,
As January comes to a close, we are about to begin our last 18 days in the shop! Unbelievably, we still have a lot of fabric and notions available at great prices! We've also dug through the back room and found quite a few notions that we forgot we had so they are now out for sale as well!
Titanium needles are on the way! I will post another blog message when we receive them and can offer them for sale... which brings up --
Due to overwhelming demand (and a few threats!) we will continue to offer sewing machine service/cleaning/repair! Tom has a workshop at our home in Glenns Ferry so you can either drop machines off at the house (and maybe stay for a cup of coffee?) or call us to arrange pick up from your home. We will be making regular trips to Wendell, Gooding, Jerome, Twin Falls, and surrounding communities so we can pick up and deliver!
Many of you are also asking us about in-home machine service as well, so we will be offering that service as well! Do you have a machine in a cabinet? A long arm that you can't move? Or just don't have the time to bring your machine over? Just call us at (208) 599-5939 and we'll come to you to provide machine service in your home!
Diana will also continue to offer long arm quilting out of our home. Please call us to discuss options and pricing.
And finally, as the transition continues we will be combining our quilt shop blog and adventure blog into one fantastic blog to keep our family and friends informed as to where we're at and what we're doing. Feel free to visit our adventure blog at http://fifthwheelcamping.blogspot.com/. When the shop closes on the 18th, we will move everything onto that blog.
See you all soon!

Hi All,
As rumored, we are back in town! And as you can imagine, there is a lot to do to get the shop ready for opening day. We're happy to announce that things are moving right along and we will re-open the shop Wednesday, January 11th at 10 am! We'll start out being open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10 am to 5 pm and go from there. We can't wait to see you all so we can catch up! See you soon!!!
Hello
We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We were able to go to Tulsa, Ok and spend the day with Tom's brother and his parents. It was a nice relaxing day and the smoked turkey was wonderful.
We have been in Coffeyville, Kansas working for Amazon.com since October 1st.
We have been working hard filling your orders and walking,walking and more walking. We walk between 15-20 miles a night and work 4-5 nights a week. We work either 10 or 11 hour shifts.
We will be back to open the shop during the week of January 9th. We will post the exact day soon but we need time to put everything back on the shelves.
We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and hope you get to spend time with family.
Diana, Tom, Isabel and Sadie
Coming Home!
Hello Everyone,
We hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer. We have had a great time working at Peninsula Family Camping this summer. We have been able to enjoy loads of family time with daily long walks for Sadie and many fishing trips for Isabel. Isabel officially won our family fishing competition. We lost track of the many fish she caught. She caught this huge crappie.
It was 1 1/2 lbs and around 15"-20" in length.
Although Sadie entered the race by catching a few as well. Too bad you never have a camera at the right moment.
We will be on our way home soon with our expected arrival in Idaho on September 19th.
We will be home for approximately one week. We have decided to spend a few additional months working for Amazon.com in Coffeyville, Kansas.
We plan to return to the quilt shop in January. We have not worked out all the details yet but we will return with new ideas and a new schedule.
Please don't hesitate to keep your emails coming and let us know what you are up to.
We look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Fishing!
Hello everyone,
Sorry we haven't had any posts lately. We have settled in to our duties here and have gotten out a bit as well.
We work 24 hours/week together helping with all aspects of campground managing. Diana usually helps with check ins, registration and the camp store. Sometimes she is allowed to assist me in doing the rounds. I check/clean restrooms, pick up trash and clean sites between campers.
We have been having a family fishing competition which Isabel is winning hands down. I have lost track of her fish count but Diana is happy to report that she finally caught a fish. (3 fish)
We had to take a fishing boat out on the lake at 6 am to find these bass, but it was worth it.
We have been studying Gold Mining history with Isabel. We have made it to Sutter's Mill, Empire Mines and Malakoff Diggins. It is great for Isabel to see the actual locations where these historic events took place.
Take care and we look forward to sharing more of our adventures later.

We are in California!
We have made it to Peninsula Resort in Grass Valley, California. We arrived last Wednesday and are very glad we left early. We had beautiful weather on our trip down. This is Rollins Lake. 
This is the campground area. We are in a more wooded area. This is just down the path from us.
We finally found out how to wear out Sadie! She is loving the long walks and being outside with us all day.
She still need some training in manners as she still doesn't like anyone else petting her.
