I have over 500 pictures to go through, so I'll leave you with a few snapshots of some of the things we did.
I finished another one of these tops. This time I made it a bit longer, and I like the length better. I also used bias tape to finish the neckline like it says too. Once again I used elastic thread to finish off the sleeves. I also learned that I like my serger (a White) better than my mom's Hobby Lock. It's probably because I know my machine better.
I finally got the back of this quilt figured out. I was hoping to quilt it on my aunt's longarm while I was there but I didn't get it put together. Luckily I have an awesome mom who said she would do it for me! THANKS MOM!!
My sister-in-law made this cute dress out of a size 14 thrifted skirt. She just took chunks out of the sides and then sewed some pleats in the top and added the straps. Genius!
I tried to spend as many nights as I could watching the sunsets from the back deck. Seriously gorgeous.
There are some other fun things I was able to do, people I met and fabric I bought. I'll share more soon!

Just beautiful...EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see your other pictures!!!!!! I am so happy you had a good time :o)
I love that top. I've been looking for a pattern like that and will have to try this one out sometime. Very cute.
We do have some awesome sunsets around here. Ever since you and your Mom were here I've been dreaming of taking sewing lessons from your Mom. You two are very inspiring. :)
Sounds like fun! And I adore the AH top!!
Sounds like a really fabulous vacation! How wonderful for you!
Wow, I love your girl's cute sundress! Good job sister.
It was so fun getting together!! I didn't write the number of the shirt pattern down what was it? I might need one or two of those.
See ya soon:)

I am so making that cake. Holy delicious!
Sounds like you had a wonderful visit! Glad you are home safe. The cake is killing me! Your lemon curd is a favorite at my house. Guess I will have to make the cake. I'll let you know how hurt my family is that I made it for them. ;0)
The top is seriously cute. I have searched for the pattern and come up short. Bummer!
Sunset---speechless!
Yes- I also did not write down the # for that top. I think I need to make one too.
SO great to see you! One day we need to hang out more. Maybe I will come stay in your "Help" quarters.
i love it all. you, your shirt, your cake your daughter, the sunset...sigh, but I'm so glad your back because I've been dreaming(more thinking) of a robe and don't know how to get started. *evil smile* so needless to say I have been thinking about you...lots.
I love the top you made! And using elastic thread instead of casing is brilliant! One day I will make myself tops like that, for now I've only made them for my girls. Love reading your blog!
