We leave for our Alaskan cruise in just a couple days so things here are a bit hectic. One last box to pack, checklist to recheck, clothes to organize - is it really just 50 degrees there? How awesome! Better throw in one more sweater. Thank goodness the weather has turned cooler here, but I'm really looking forward to a some real cool.
First, congratulations to Lisa J., you're the winner of the Copper Pennies pattern/kit. Please email your shipping address and I'll send it out as soon as we return.
For the next 2 weeks, the giveaway will be the project Pam Buda & I will be teaching on the cruise together - Friendship Garden. I threw one together with cotton appliques; Pam stitched her version with wool.
I'll be checking in while we're gone, so watch for updates on whales, freezing toes and good food.
Geez, I'm ready for vacation! See you all later, Lynne

ReplyDeleteMy daughter went on a photography cruise last year and loved every minute I loved the picture with a bear eating a salmon which I was told was taken behind a fence and it was far away. When my daughter came home she told me the group was about 100 yards away from the bear with no fence. She loves to tease me to this day about the picture .
ReplyDeleteShe also said to dress in layers b/c the weather changes.
Both of the quilts are beautiful and would make a nice addition to anyone's quilt wall .
Enjoy the cruise and the scenery
