Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

A Little Sewing, A Little Paddling

It was a gorgeous day so Jim and I decided to take the kayaks out for the first time this season.  I try to get some sewing time in each day so I got up early and wrapped up a couple of things before we left. 

First I cut backing and binding for the three rainbow quilts.  All of these are small so it shouldn’t take much time at all to get them quilted.

After that came machine sewing the binding to this little patriotic hexie wall hanging

and the Social Club lap quilt.

Finally, I finished quilting the Ombre Flying Geese quilt.  I’ve been dragging my feet on this for close to a week so it was nice to finish it up and get it off the frame.

With my work complete for the day, it was time for a little relaxation on the Crystal River.

Kayaking Crystal River

This was the first time we had been on this river and it was quite nice.  There were a couple of spots where it was very shallow and we had to get out and drag the kayaks to deeper water and a few low-hanging branches but we had a good time and saw some pretty scenery.

This little guy was just sitting on the bank watching us paddle by.

It’s always nice to have a productive AND fun day!
