i am back from two weeks [ our longest and best vacation ever ] in puerto vallarta...we stayed in an apartment ~ had a great visit with lily and jerry and LOVED it...for sure i am going back...
|
so much color in mexico ~ i couldn't stop taking photos |
|
these are just a few of my favorites xo |
|
love the flags and the blue sky |
|
seashells and fabric = LOVE
oh and do you think it a coincidence that i finished up the kitty quilt for lily on the plane going down more about the kitties here
and this was our apartment ? xoxox
we stayed on francisco madero in old town...our neighbours swept their cobblestone streets
we had a gorgeous view of the jungle above us
our apartment was on the third floor with 3 bedrooms , a large front balcony[where i sewed and we ate and drank a lot] there were 2 small balconies off two bedrooms and we shared the rooftop ~ complete w a very reasonable rent xo |
|
i bought a featherweight sewing machine special for this trip |
|
nick thought i was a bit crazy but then he is not a quilter xo |
|
i happily worked on isaac and ani's quilt ~ more here and here |
|
it was so worth carrying esther on....i have never flown with a machine before ~ she was a bit heavy to carry at times... but i was only questioned about her once and she fit in the overhead just fine xo |
|
it was old school ...no mat, no rotary cutter, no iron....but it sure was nice to do some vacation balcony sewing....i managed to get the last 4 sets of stars pieced just finger pressing....my mexico blocks are a bit wonky but i am ok with that xo |
finishing up this star quilt and making a sweet baby girl quilt are next up....and i have two more weeks off to focus on that goodness xo
happy saturday ~ pam
The colours are amazing! How lovely to be able to sew while on vacation. That's a REAL vacation : )
ReplyDeleteoooh. I cannot think of anything better than sewing on a nice warm, relaxing holiday. That quilt is going to hold so many fun memories!
