Treasures from my vacation

I am having a difficult time with this new blogger program, so bear with me!

I found this fun cotton print and 99 cent

pattern for a grocery/shopping tote.

I have a few bags I use but decided it would be fun to

make a few more bags.

Here is the fabric I purchased

both in South Carolina and Utah to make

a memory quilt of our week on the beach.

First time I am going to have to add to my

fabric stash report this next Sunday!

The Borough-Chapin Art Museum of Myrtle Beach

had a wonderful exhibit of about 20 quilts

from the Gee Bend (Alabama) Quilters

We couldn't take photos so here are some of the

postcards showing the quilts.

Many were made with corduroy fabric

and had old feed sacks used for the backings.

All quilts were hand quilted too.

I liked the quilters version of a

log cabin block-

they call the pattern "Housetop"

Thanks to my SIL, Amanda, for going with me

to the quilt show...it was great!

Home from vacation!

It's great to be home from vacation!

We spent the last week at my Hubby's family reunion

in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

It was great to play in the ocean,

layout in the sand, and

hang out at the pool with everyone!

The top photo is my daughter, her hubby

and my handsome grandson on the beach

in front of our beach house.

My son and Hubby are in front of them

out in the water.

The bottom photo is my toes in the sand!

I did visit a couple of fabric shops while there-

also a exhibit on Gee Bend (Alabama) Quilts....

Photos to follow!
