Lazy Summer Days



The plan was to start quilting 'Zigzag' right away but that did not happen as planned!

  
Instead we took off for a short vacation to New Hampshire and Maine...
We drove to a light house on the coast near Portland, Maine. 
Spectacular!


My daughter and I walked on the harbor and enjoyed breath taking views in the town of Ogunquit, Maine.


We also took a tour of the historical 'Strawberry Banke' in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.


While hubby worked away, Kavita and I had a lot of fun visiting art museums and taking quiet strolls through the towns of beautiful New England.

 

There is nothing like the first moment of water touching your toes before you jump in it!
Unfortunately... She didn't jump in!
But checked out these huge hosta leaves.


We laughed a lot and explored for the first time as mother and daughter team.. She was a great navigator in the car and the best company to drive along with!

  

Can you resist taking a moment and slow down and enjoy the lazy days of summer?

I did little bit of quilting just at the end of each day.


The day after we got back from our vacation, I taught a class at 'Spool' in Philadelphia. 
It was quite rewarding to see enthusiasm for quilting in young quilters.


 Hope you are having a great summer!

  1. What a lovely vacation. Your daughter is beautiful!

    Your quilting is gorgeous. I love the little jogs in line, accentuating the irregular details of the quilt.

    Those are lucky students there!

  8. Ladies, I took the class at Spool and I can say firsthand that we were indeed lucky to have her teach our class!
