One of the best things about a beach vacation is eating seafood. I love just about all of it, especially fresh catches of a local delicacy, expertly prepared with a new idea for flavor. At one restaurant, I enjoyed a starter salad, with flavorful home grown tomatoes and creamy mozzarella, lightly dressed with a balsamic …

A Trip to Myrtle Beach
In between all the shopping and quilting and walking at the gardens, I did get some time on the beach in Myrtle Beach. DH and I walked along the shore a couple of evenings, watching the birds and the waves. The nice thing about this area is that it isn't wall to wall people. There …
Thrifting, and Winning, and a Gift
While I was playing in Myrtle Beach and along the Grand Strand, I was able to indulge my bargain hunting addiction and visit a bunch of thrift and consignment stores in the area. They actually have more than 60 listed on web searches, and I just couldn't get to them all, but I had a …
A Visit to Brookgreen Gardens
During my week in Myrtle Beach, I had to visit the Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet. The gardens had their foxgloves and snapdragons at peak bloom, just gorgeous! I should probably have split this into two posts, but I have a lot more to show you in the coming days, and more projects in the …
Be My Neighbor Block 8
I got a bit busy with other things, but finally got back to the Be My Neighbor block due next week. Block 8 is on the right end of row two, so I got out the other blocks to pick fabrics. I was trying not to repeat the same fabric in adjacent blocks. This block …
Quilting on the Grand Strand, part 2
Picking up from yesterday, the Grand Strand Quilters meeting was so much fun. I really enjoyed making new quilter friends, but had no idea what would happen next. One of the charities the Grand Strand Quilters support is the Quilts of Valor program. I didn't get this quilter's name (with the microphone) before the end of …
Quilting on the Grand Strand
Last week, DH had work to do in Myrtle Beach and I decided that I needed some beach time. So I packed a bag and went with him. While he was working, I had a grand time on the Grand Strand! The Grand Strand is composed of a number of small communities along the coast, …
A Puppy Quilt
Last month I left a comment on a quilty UFO adoption post on a fellow blogger's event. Cyndi blogs at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework, and every so often she does a link up event. You post a UFO that you just don't have the enthusiasm to finish, and then pick a person who …
More Stamping Fun in April
In April, DH invited the club over to have an inspection of their little British cars by a couple of very knowledgeable members to see what might need attention before it became a problem. For the guys who might be interested in seeing the cars, here's a link to the event - LBC Tech session. …
Quilting the Orphan Block Quilt
Picking up from the post on Sarah's blog about using an orphan block, here is the finished flimsy after adding the squares, bars and border. If you missed that post, click HERE to see the construction of the orphan block flimsy. I loaded it on the longarm, auditioned threads, and once again settled on that …
