I've been on two absolutely wonderful trips, and I'm having a little trouble getting back to realilty!
The first trip was a lovely quilt retreat, with 23 other quilters on Cape Cod! In addition to making a quilt as a class, we visited a couple of quilt shops, a cranberry bog, and a National Seashore. My room overlooked the ocean, and I took a nice long walk on the beach each morning.

After returning from the Cape, I had two days to do laundry and repack for a trip out west. I took hundreds of pictures, so I'll just share a couple of the highlights.

Anyone still out there? At some point, I'll probably add more pictures to one of my pages, but I think this is plenty for now.
I've been on a sewing binge the past few days, trying to catch up on a few small projects. My Pfaff has decided that it doesn't want to sew (again) so Flossie the Featherweight is doing the job.
Keep on stitching! Sunny
