A Short Jaunt in the Country

Yesterday we decided to take a short trip to a couple of quilts shops in Iowa. On the way down highway 34, we came to a sign that said "World's Largest Coffee Pot" in a little Swedish town named Stanton, Iowa. So we drove into town, found a little lady along the street and asked her where the coffee pot was and she was astounded that we did not see it (it was over the hill from where we came in) so she explained how to find it and said it was a good thing we were going to take a picture of it as they are going to take it down, but the townspeople want it back up as soon as possible because they are darn proud of it! She said it's been up there for years! When we asked how many and she thought a minute and then said, at least 20 years!

So there you go, this is it!

Looks a lot like the Sapp Brothers coffee pot near Omaha to me...just saying......but without the Swedish deco.

Then we came to Viking Lake State Park and drove around it a bit, looks like a nice little state park!

They even had a restaurant, but we didn't check it out.

But the real reason was to hit the 2 quilt shops, one in Creston and the other in Clarinda. The Creston one had tons of fabric, but very crowded, hard to see everything. The Clarinda one is out in the country on a farmstead in a barn type of place and it was wonderful! The nicest owner and the nicest stuff and all arranged nicely and they have it all right there, hard not to pick up a book or two, a pattern or three or a kit or an embroidery pattern, not that I did! LOL!
