Stitching

This is the quilt I made for the mini quilt swap "In the good ol' summertime". I even quilt a sand castle! eheh I hope my partner likes it.
In my country we can say that is summer all year but ,here in Portugal, summer lasts only three months. Sometimes and, lately, we have such a strange weather!! lol
I don't think I would be able to leave in a place without beach - I'm a beach girl, eheh.






I miss our quilt group so, as I have a free day, I was able to join them. It was a sunny day and it was good to be there. The ladies were very busy.
Theresa is pinning her table runner.






And here are Betty and Katy; each of them have a new sewing machine, good for them.
