While on vacation I stopped at a little shop in Williamstown, called Karen's Quilting Corner. It is a wonderful shop, full of beautiful and unique fabrics. I was good and only got two quilt panels. This one I got for myself to hand quilt. I quilted around the designs and left the border as is, with a little edge with the black binding. It is hard to see the quilted look in the photo. I have clip hangers on my curtain rod, so it hangs there. The next one is a Christmas design, that will be for the kids and I will use the machine on that one.
This design is by Bonnie Sullivan.
Last weekend we went on a nice walk at the bird sanctuary. Lots of activity, as migration has begun. The fields were uncut, so the bees were enjoying the flowers.
Lots of turtles enjoying the warm sun.
And a few more of the wildlife we saw, along the way.
Afterwards, we drove by the marsh to see what was in the area. One area was full of Egrets in the trees, too many to count.
And quite a few Blue Herons in the marsh.
Today we went for a paddle at the pond. It was a warmer day, so we could paddle and do a little swimming, though the water was cooler from the cold nights.
We stopped at the first beach head at the campground, across the way.
A Heron was in the corner, wading for fish. We saw a few different birds, but none were close enough or still enough to catch.
We paddled along the back cove, lots of weeds at the end of the season.
It was a nice day to get out and even though I started out feeling sick, the paddle was just what I needed to feel better. This weekend will be cooling down, so it will be nice for hikes and biking. I hope you all enjoy your weekend and can enjoy getting out.
And yes, I do have hair, long and thick, so I pull it back and it looks like I am going bald in photos.
