National Lakeshore that was beautiful. We spent four nights in Traverse City, MI and had some of the most amazing meals. I thought that Lake Michigan was wonderful. The water was so clear that it looked like Caribbean waters!
I have been stitching a bit. I finished my version of Prairie Schooler's "Santa's Night." I shortened the piece and used GAST threads. I have also been practicing on the sewing machine. I finished my first quilt block! The block is called Great Granny Square and I joined a group on FLICKR that is doing a SAL on this quilt block. The block is not perfect but I am extremely thrilled with it. Thanks to everyone for taking the time out of your busy day to peruse my blog. I will try to update again next week with some Lake Huron pics. Until then, may God bless you all and keep you strong.

I admire that you are taking on quilting. I cannot cut straight and have no eye for piecing so I haven't bothered...good for you! I think the block looks great and you will only get better. Love the pics of the lake and sunset. Chris G

So happy for you that you had a good vacation.
Your granny square looks good I am being tempted to try this one
Hi, Angel - I was led to your blog thru the HRH SAL yahoo group. Looks like we have a few things in common. I am trying to get it together to join the HRH SAL, even though I have too many things going on already. I really, really want to stitch HRH Autumn.
Also, I just ran into those great granny quilt blocks last night, and would love to make nine of those for a table topper. Have fun with yours.
Great sunset picture. Sounds like you had a nice vaca.
Take care...

Hello
Your photographs are stunning.
Beaytiful stitching and quilting too.
Michigan lakes are lovely. I grew up there. I have a suggestion you won't be disappointed in. Go up to the upper peninsula and visit Sault Ste. Marie. There you will see the Soo locks. Its straight up I-75 all the way. Its the beginning of the St. Lawrence seaway and the locks are amazing. There is an inn called the Soo Locks Inn straight across from them.. Great rates and they have like little condos in the back for the same price as the smaller rooms. On the way you could see Mackinaw Island:-)
