Nineteen ladies from Tacoma Quilters climbed into 5 vehicles and headed North on our road trip. Of course one of the sidelights were the colorful leaves. Many have found their way to the ground but it still was beautiful. We stopped in Farmington for a coffee break and arriving at our destination approximately 2 hours at Threads Galore Quilt Shop & Quilt Inn Retreat Center in Rangeley. 
This is our group with the shop in the back ground and the retreat center in front of us and not shown. We toured the facility and it is gorgeous.

'Show and tell' is always fun wherever we are. Yona and her first quilt for her dog!!
Our gracious hostess, Carol, owner and her helper. Carol greeted us at the door and gave each of us a gift
Beautiful fabrics and many, many quilts, runners, wall hangings and also bargains which ever quilter likes. A first class shop with so many offerings to fit anyone's taste.
Beside the shop is this beautiful tree that is losing its leaves beginning at the top. The frost has evidently not reached the lower leaves. You could actually watch as the leaves fell. An interesting note, is that behind each falling leaf is a shoot ready to spring forth in the Spring.
We ate at The Red Onion known for its pizza has excellent food and highly recommended. We did not go away hungry and many tried the luscious homemade desserts.

Here we are enjoying one another. A great group and we always have lots of fun.
Our next shop was Carol's North Woods Quilting very close to the NH border above Rangeley.

Above is the owner Carol and I caught her off guard.
Here are the entourage of cars. It was a clear day until we got in our cars and headed home and then it began to rain. Many of us were tired and agreed it was a wonderful day. We appreciate all the effort that goes into a trip like this. Our President, Barb who mapped out and contacted the shops and restaurant. The drivers Kat, Sandy, Janice, Lori and Jona.
