I think he would have enjoyed it. <br />That is a great way to quilt such a pretty quilt.

Loads of families rent houses, grill outside with friends and watch kids bike, skate, swim. OTOH, we went to the Rockies for vacations. It certainly is a good memory to have returned to the same place annually.<br />Your family has a wonderful view.

This quilt is very nice, as usual. And thank you for the virtual tour of Catalina. I went there for a couple of weeks in the summer of 1966 (eek!) and have never managed to return, though we have family friends living there. Looks like you got the full treatment with sun, sea and wildlife!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07064704260223262652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-36138502193519963942016-09-20T13:59:25.713-05:002016-09-20T13:59:25.713-05:00Great quilting work!

On Steven's "A Piece of Pi" spider, I used my walking foot to go around the edges following the circle of each web in smaller and smaller circles...it took a while for sure. hugs, julieroseJulierosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079686021190332890noreply@blogger.com
