WE saw folks along most of it, although there were some quiet spots. It just looked so peaceful!

Barring the squall it sounds like you had two lovely days of leisure. I envy you being able to quilt while on your cruise. I have a full sized bed quilt that still hasn't been quilted although the top was peiced 20 yrs ago. It seems hard to believe. I posted some pictures about a year ago when I pulled it out and set it on a quilting frame. Unfortunately, my eyesight isn't what it used to be and I haven't hand quilted anything other than a single sampler block years ago so I'm not enthusiastic and keep putting it off.

It would be pretty nice if I ever got it finished. :)

It was very nice to have a couple of days to rest and get stuff packed away without the last minute rush. WE are just a few minutes from our last tour and I'm hoping it will be a great finish to our trip.

Oh, I wish I could see it, but no photos will display because of the security on this WiFi site. I will have to wait until I am home. All I do is hand quilt, but it's hard due to the carpal tunnel and arthritis. The warmer weather helped out quite a bit.

I've only don't one queen size quilt and it was quite the challenge. I much prefer the smaller projects now.

I'd like to hear your opinion when you get home to see them. :) I sewed the top but decided to hand quilt the pattern. I have to re-trace the center design in the white squares because it's faded over time. :)

Thanks for sharing so much of your experiences--sometimes I could imagine I was there with you-even if you didn't let us sneak into your suitcases.

What a wonderful memory you will have. Hope the ending is as great as the rest

Thank you for reading and following along with us. The memories will be better now that I've gotten them written down.

Sounds like you have had a wonderful trip. You may be sorry that it is nearly over but you're probably looking forward to being home too.

You did remember to bring peace offerings for your four-legged children, didn't you?

I am ready to be heading home. We picked up three feathers along the way to shared with the 'kids' - they are a lot easier to buy for than people.
