For a Moment

It has been a while since we've communicated.  My apologies for the lapse.  My husband and I were gone for almost three weeks to CA.  It felt good to be on "home" soil again and visit with family and friends.  Friends picked us up at the airport on our return to MI and asked the question, "What was the highlight of your trip?"  Both of us were rendered silent momentarily and decided there was no one moment for either of us but daily moments.

Trip highlights:
   Embracing family at the airport
   hot, sunny weather
   walking to get yogurt with our niece
   shopping for our nieces wedding with her mom
   creating the table toppers
   giving art lessons to another niece
   visiting with "family" at In Between Stitches Quilt Store
   Greeting dear friends as they arrived at the retreat center
   watching everyone's progress as they sewed all day and late into the night
   shopping and ice cream in San Juan Bautista
   Trip to the San Francisco flower mart to pick the centerpiece flowers for Rachel's wedding
   working with my daughter LeAnna to create the flower arrangements for the wedding
   The Wedding of Rachel and Mike
   The reception
   Falling into my own bed after a long flight home

Since then I have managed to write a color presentation for the quilt store here, work on my son's wedding quilt, purchased fabric for guest book quilt, made 47 hexagons and worked a few days.

It's time to get back to the sewing machine and curved piecing. :)
