Hello Quilt Friends!
 
I'm back from our family vacation in Cannon Beach, Oregon and recovering!
Cannon Beach is a vacation town and the gardens and vacation rentals are kept up nicely. The beach is huge and majestic, the weather was mostly sunny with a little wind making it just about everything you could wish for. So aside from a bit of sunburn and glare headache it was great! 
 
Today I cleared off my work table for hand basting my Log Cabin in Furrow Formation quilt top, 44" x 44". The blocks are approx 5 x 5". I have another quilt top that I might get hand basted while I have my work table cleared. Something different to get focused on right? 

And that is the quilt news from the valley where I'm getting back into the swing of things. What do you do to recover from vacations? Have you started on new projects for fall yet?

I'll be by to visit.....

What a beautiful place to have a family gathering and vacation. I am sure all have wonderful memories to enjoy for many years to come. The blossoming gardens must be a good source of inspiration for your quilting - no wonder you got started on quilt work right away after the holidays.
It is still too hot for serious quilting in Tokyo. I’ll continue to take it easy.
