Beach Trip

Family Beach Trip

We had a great time together on our family beach trip. We shared a condo with my sister and her family in North Myrtle Beach, SC
Taking in the waves and sun, shopping, eating, and laughing till we cried over silly things. Yes, this is what VACATION means to us!!

Applique practice

We have actually been doing quite a bit of sewing lately. Our sewing class is going well and we have so much fun together. I have been sewing for years but I am still learning when it comes to making clothing. The teacher is a wonderful seamstress and good friend, so very patient. Of course, it takes lots of patience when sewing, as I've learned over the years. As I've been blogging and visited so many blogs with good advice that's one thing quilters are stressing, Enjoy the process, don't get so frustrated and anxious to finish.
Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately.
