There was no sewing done in the house today - well, not until this evening, when I sewed down some binding on the Four Seasons Quilt - will finish that tomorrow probably and show it then. But the lack of sewing was fine - we had a lovely day out (lots of photos over here) and I brought back a few wee treasures, which I might be able to use in future work (well, not the pebble so much - I just thought it was pretty). The kids collected many more bits and pieces, but I was going for small, relatively flat, and interesting.
Did get some nice post today - a brown postcard for an upcoming brown swap - a pineapple from Dorothy for my pineapple quilt and the newest Quilting Arts (despite them telling me I needed to renew my sub, I keep receiving it - I think they start reminding you to renew about 10 issues in advance...). I am not renewing my sub to this, or to any of my other quilting magazines - I just never seem to have time to read them and try any of the projects. Seems a waste to me. Doesn't mean i won't pick up some copies at shows, etc, but I am going to stop subscribing to them all. Probably even the online ones, though I haven't decided for certain about that yet.

ooo the brown swap is very nice!
I think it's ok to trade off from sewing to visit the beach, anyday!
I'm with you on the magazine subscriptions. It will take me 20 years to try all I want to try in the magazines I already have, not to mention books I've picked up.
I've scaled back my subscriptions too! I still get QA but the others are done. too many projects and guilt in not being able to make them!
Funny that! Quilting Arts reminded me to renew too and I thought I'd bought a 2 year sub already. I also have too many mags. Must be an epidemic going round! I'm envious of the beach visit.
