Mawlynnong and living root bridge

Finally I got to visit the famous Mawlynnong - the cleanest village in Asia - which is in our neighboring State of Meghalaya. I've seen many few post doing around on facebook.

so, last Diwali holiday we - finally - went  to Mawlynnong in East Khasi Hills 

Mawlynnong is 3 hours drive from Shillong. The long winding road with spectacular  view is well worth it. 

It was a clear sunny day when we went

you will see few house (huts?) after a long stretch of empty land

it's like a never ending road

with blue and green  silhouette of hills

there are few small towns in between. 

And finally we saw the sign

And after 3 hours, this is what you find in the deepest East Khasi Hills

A clean village with not a single drop of leave on it's pathways

and the bluest sky 

Bamboo bridge sky view

where you can see Bangladesh land from the top

and the next STOP is Natural Living Root Bridge 

going RIGHT or going down - you choose :D

narrow stones pathway leading down to the bridge

Apparently there are few bridges like this one. Few of them are in Cheerapunji 

 can't get enough of this natural beauty

 going back up 

More Photos are HERE

and if you want to read more stories, you can read Mike Marlowe Blog where he wrote in details about his trip

Until then

Have a nice day

WIP update

Which part of quilting is your favorite?

I love the piecing part

 putting together small fabrics into something bigger is really exciting

and playing with them in my "small" DIY design wall is so much fun

I told you about the Quilt as you go made modern QAL in my previous post

the mug rug I made as trial I gift it to my sons' piano teacher

as a thank you gift

The Big R has recently passed his 1st grade Trinity Exam with 80% marks 

He did well, in spite of him having school exam at the same time

So, I made another one for the QAL, but got carried away =,=

the size is too big!

I think I'm going to go with 9" block finished size

I got all the strips ready

Meanwhile, I finished piecing half of this quilt

another 3 sets (12 blocks) to piece

that will have to wait until I'm back from the holiday

I'm trying to get organized here

besides the small quilt projects 

I'm trying to piece at least 2-3 blocks of the bigger projects

I guess doing several projects together has its own excitement

but when it comes to quilting it

that's another story

I have 3 tops which ready to quilt 

and I don't know when I'm going to pick them up

meanwhile, if you're looking for some bundles to cheer you up

I just added Fat Eighth and Charm Packs in the shop today

Until then

Happy Quilting
