A fun visit to the Sierra Gold Quilters Guild
I had a fun visit to Amador County, “Gold Country”. It takes about an hour on mostly 2 lane roads to get to Pioneer, CA. The drive was so pretty – lots of flowers, a bit of still green grass and fields of grazing cattle. But no photos while I was driving! The grass […]
