OK, it's confession time; I've been on vacation for 12 days. My husband and I had planned on going to Alaska for our 25th wedding anniversary 2 years ago. My mother-in-law was ill with cancer and we decided not to take our trip. We just wanted to be home for her.
Last summer I had bunion surgery and spent 6 weeks in a "boot" cast, so we didn't go.
Finally this year, we were able to make the trip. I won't bore you with all the details or pictures, just suffice to say, it was the most wonderful, beautiful trip ever!!!! I want to go back. I loved that the sun shined all evening, keeps you from feeling tired. Had a few rainy days, but for the most part, lots of sunshine. I know I couldn't live there in the winter as I need sunshine, but this vacation was THE Best. And I found 3 quilt shops, one in Denali and 2 in Anchorage. Bought 2 patterns and a little bit of fabric.
We got back home on Saturday morning after flying all night and I didn't do much but sleep the rest of Saturday. Today I bonded with my machine after being away. Made a couple of string blocks and worked on my "Turning Twenty" quilt. I sewed two more rows together just like the one in the picture if you click on the link.
Very satisfying.
