Escape to the Beach and more

[@kimezman8697]

Anna, not only are you an enabler, but you are a motivator. Since you talked about recording your quilting life, I also started a journal. The journal is very basic because I rather create and journal. You have motivated me to get out my UFO'S and complete them. As always, thanks for sharing.

Loved visiting with you this early morning while big stitch quilting my Gees Bend quilt. After hubs took me to Gees Bend a year ago, I was inspired to finally piece the Gees Bend quilt kit I’d bought ages ago. It’ll be a wonderful memory of my Gees Bend pilgrimage. Hugs!! ‘

Thank you Anna. That was lovely. Its great to see your quilty progress.

What a special Table Runner you've made Anna. It will be much loved and appreciated I'm sure. Love the sea creatures and coast photos. What a horrendous time for those living in the LA region and also all war torn areas of homes instantly torn to rubble leaving so many homeless and with treasures lost. You can't replace sentimental objects just hold on to memories.

Oh good coffee with Anna. You are absolutely an enabler for me. I loved all of the beach pictures. The picture of the huge rock brought back fun memories of Cannon Beach. I used to go there with my sister and her littles which believe me they are no longer little. We are less than an hour from the Gulf and we never over there. I love to feel the sand in my toes and Roger hated the sand. The ying and yang of marriage.

Great photos of the beach. Your French General quilt is gorgeous! That looks like a nice quilt shop with beach themed items. Marilyn

Oh the beach is amazing ❤️ I love love love the beach. Right now in Michigan are beaches are frozen and full of snow but still beautiful ❤ My daughter in law just retired before Christmas and she’s been on Pinterest a lot…😂sending me ideas of things to make (like I need help) my sewing room could double as a fabric store. But tell anyone 😂 My granddaughters have already got orders in for next Christmas 😮 knitted socks…. Good thing I love knitting. Quilts to make, wool projects and embroidery projects glad we have snowy cold cold weather. So I don’t venture out of my sewing room very far.. just for nourishment and sleep. How do people survive without projects 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks for the visit. ❤

Yes, I think we all would like to actually work on and finish what we already have. It is tempting to go into quilt shops! I’ve been very good recently about not buying anything more because I’m at max capacity in my home. So if I buy something, I have to get rid of something and I love all my projects too much to get rid of any of them! This mindset (reality) has worked for me.

The peace of the water and waves is my favorite Thank you for taking us with ❤ I’m determined to Journal my sewing and hand stitch this year.. I have all these planners and Journals and maybe do one or two pages then boom the years over 😢. Well thanks to a KZbin video today I learned the difference between the two….and bet it applies to your tracking also…In your cross stitch You PLAN. You use a planner then when you quilt you can Journal tell about the process as you go along……and heavens NO your not OLD. This world changes hourly

[@SewManyThings]

As far as journaling, I’d like to create a “picture book” of all the quilts I’ve made. I actually have at least one picture of every quilt I’ve ever made! I’m not sure exactly how I want to do it but it’s really fun to think about.

[@renestovall9226]

Enjoyed this visit very much! Enablers support our economy😂 Your rabbit holes are lots of fun, so I am looking forward to jumping in with you😊 Take Care❤

My 2025 word is Connect. Connect to people fabrics, fibers, outdoors, ideas, projects, etc.

[@yapper80]

I know how it feels when you go quilt stores and telling myself I not going to buy 😁. Well that didn't work. Man I hate that when it happened 😂😂😂😂😂

[@debbie-n5u]

My husband and I always stay there so convenient for the quilt shop! Love your french general , is it a kit or was it a pattern from somewhere? Love your Christmas Tree behind you from Laundry basket quilts I hope to make it someday. And the table runner you made is very nice! Thank you sooo much for the videos love them too!!

[@jshepard56]

I was there too! I am just home from 4 days in CB. I stay about 500’ from Center Diamond and was there on Sunday. I can’t believe I was right there but didn’t see you. Drat! Do you ever eat at Screw and Brew? It’s between Sleepy Monk and Pelican. Next time. I was likely standing on the beach for that same sunset.

My sister lost her home and every single thing in it in a forest fire in California about 3 years ago. She and her husband (and their dog) escaped with their lives and the clothes on their backs! They were able to purchase a new home with insurance money but she still suffers greatly from PTSD😢

[@huisuk]

ANY fabrics left??? how about matching coasters stacked for more home dec ensemble look?? like the look n "feel" of the table runner👍.

[@TeresaMaria-i4c]

Anna - what a sweet video. Could you share what type of batting is in your French General quilt? It looks more floofy than the batting I’ve been using.
