We stopped along the way to Floyd from Meadows of Dan where I was staying, to catch a glimpse at THIS view ----it was about 9:15am and blustery windy, but SO crisp and clear!
Doesn’t this just make you catch your breath??
The view was so vast I had to do it in 3 shots!
That sun was shining down on a beautiful morning!
I think you can “biggie size” the pic by clicking on it to read about Rock Castle Gorge.
We had a very fun day in class --- we were joined by 9 ladies from Roanoke, just up the road --- loads of quilty chatter, laughter and visiting going on while we sewed our house blocks!

OH WOW!! The views are just fantastic!
Love the houses.
The views were absolutely breathtaking ... thanks for sharing. Loved the houses ... each one so different. What fun!
Purple Mountains Majestry!
So many familiar fabrics in those houses!! Feeling the need to make that quilt.
What a wonderful post. I loved seeing the mountains, and the houses were great too. A pleasant start to the day.
I love the pictures, Bonnie. It was a pleasure to have you stay in my home while you were here. Bill will be working on the "Bonnie Hunter Slept Here" sign.
Beautiful scenery! Hope you are having a great trip!
Hi Bonnie, A few years back we drove through the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Smokey Mountains to visit my aunt in Tennessee. We even got off the parkway in Floyd and spent time sightseeing around there. You are absolutely correct about the awe inspiring beauty of the place. Those vistas sure did make me feel humble and inconsequential in the scheme of things. thanks for the reminder.
I so enjoy your blog and travels. The pix of the mountains were breathtaking. It's one of my favorite areas of the country , along with the mountains out in Arizona . Seeing the pix makes me want to try landscape quilts! The houses were cute. Have a great trip home. Micki
Such a great block and I want to give a shout out for the quilter who "wears her block" for the pictures. I love seeing those pictures in your slide shows. Smiling quilter faces. Hmm. Wonder if I could piece a block with a smiling quilter wearing her block?
Gorgeous pictures. Love all the little houses
