Beach Vacation

I'm learning quickly that taking a week off from the blogging world can be a bit overwhelming when trying to catch back up.  I stayed away from everyone's blog, including my own, but I didn't stay away from my sewing machine.  I took it with me on vacation and did a little sewing, but I mostly just enjoyed the time with my family and friends.


Here's my sewing nook on the breakfast table.


I was able to finish one Arkansas Traveler block...mainly to see what a finished block looked like.  I spent the rest of my sewing time finishing the diamonds for the blocks.


I plan on sewing up a storm this week to make up for some lost time.
