I can't believe 13 days has gone by since we returned from Florida already! Time really does just wash over me. :P I have a few more photos to share from our trip and then I'll move on to more sew-y topics. ;)
I apologize for the not-so-great quality of these pictures - they were taken with the camera in my husband's iPod. I flat forgot to take my own digital camera with me. (sigh!)
These are all photos of flowers growing in the foundation plantings around our condo unit. I have no idea what any of them are - if you know, please leave me a comment and tell me any of their names?! :)
This is one of the building units for the resort - each building had two apartments in it. Ours was set back from the road and I couldn't get a proper photo. The balcony you see on the upper level is just off the master bedroom in the unit. Our unit's front door looked out on this:

I have to say that water felt as good as it looks! :)
I quite enjoyed our stay there - the staff was friendly and efficient and the beaches were lovely.
Since I've been back, I've been working madly for the store - we had an artist's reception for a small art quilt show hanging in the shop until the end of October last Thursday night. We got the finished Quest quilt back from our quilter (Maria O'Haver). I'm in the midst of planning a showing of the movie Stitched ... as well as some sales ... oh, and charity sewing days ... and ... never an end to the things that need to be done around the shop! :) Hired a new sales clerk, too. (whew!) Makes me tired to think about it all!
I _have_ been working on a small quilt in the few bits of time I get here and there. The Baltimore Modern Quilt Guild (of which I am a member:) is participating in the 'Habitat' fabric challenge and I'm working on my piece. I hope to get it done in the next couple of weeks (reveal is in November, I think). I'm also supposed to be making blocks for our 'bee' for BMQG ... better get started soon on that!
Tomorrow I have to drive down to Gaithersburg for a Quest committee meeting (hopefully get to see some more quilts!). I always enjoy seeing the other shop owners (very invigorating) but not so much the drive down and back . :P
:) Linda
