My favorite summer memories is taking my little girl to the park and watching her play with her little friends - who’s mothers were my friends. Now my daughter is a mom and has a precious three year old son that I now take to the park. 😊

[@tracyjeror84]

My favorite summer memories are the summers spent at my grandparents home. My grandmother liked to sew, crochet, macrame, all kinds of crafts. What fun we had together, such precious times I’ll never forget.

[@carolynstoll4802]

What a great video! Sitting on the stoop with my grandmother eating ice cream cones from the corner store in the city. Such unconditional love…and now I can give it to my grandchildren I have been a nanny-nana to for the last 13 years. And you know they already have many quilts. LOL.

[@jeanneprince7774]

My favorite summer memories revolve around my Grandmother and vacations to Cape Cod! She loved sharing this beautiful place with me and even sent me to summer camp in Chatham! I was on the Cape with her when Princess Diana got married and remember getting up early to watch and not miss a thing! Miss her every single day!!

[@tabathaverbick492]

When I was a kid, we would go up to the Lake of Three Fires with my grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins for a picnic followed by swimming. Then, we would go back to Stanberry (another local town) for their carnival with lots of rides and fun things to do. We would follow that up with fireworks at either my grandma's house or my aunt's house. I absolutely love those memories and wish my kids and granddaughter could experience that at least once. Thank you for a wonderful show today. Susan is amazing. I love her personality and how her mind works.

[@susiekaiser1]

This was so much fun! Susan Ache and Kimberly were great together and I learned about the smaller needle for cross stitch, seam ripper, and Lissa Alexander and Susan Ache. Kimberly is a great interviewer! Thank you for pulling this together.

[@lindajohnson9164]

Summer memory of camping …can’t beat the warmth it brings to my heart about family and friends

[@luellacalkins6739]

Susan what a wonderful personality and energy. Thanks Kimberly for this interview and bringing her books to your publishing company as we know the quality will be spot on. Susan I remember seeing your color wall of stash displayed in a magazine, it was art. My favorite summer memories go back to a wooden swing that was in my grandparents back yard. It was 2 wooden seats across from each other with a wooden slat “floor”. The memories of sitting with my parents, my cousins, my grandma, my grandpa and the stories we shared and were told. Grandma would teach me embroidery as we slowly swung back and forth. Smelled flowers from her flower beds, freshly mowed grass as we cooled off from mowing their huge yard with a push mower, or cooled off from picking bushels of cucumbers for delivery to the pickle factory for sale. I was truly blessed and am so thankful for the simple times.

[@idamaerypkema5624]

My favorite summer memories is: i am the youngest of 10 kids. Our whole family got together at my brothers farm and we had a softball game and most everyone played. Most of my brothers and sisters were married and lots of kids. Later we had a picnic. Then we gathered around the piano and sang. We grew up singing around the piano. Music is very important to me.

[@tammycoyle8512]

My best summer memory is summer break from college living at the Jersey Shore and working at a local dive bar. Spending days working on my tan and nights either working or partying at local watering holes. I used to run into Bruce Spriingsteen weekly at the local bar. Not a care in the world and it was so much fun. Thanks for the awsome interview. Can't wait to make the flag quilt in the book and the basket quilt too.

[@peghansen9310]

My favorite summer memory is being with my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins around July 4th with fireworks, food and fun. Sitting on quilts and seeing all the colors.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Best summer memory: First vacation with our son. Next, first vacation with our 3 grandchildren at the same beach! So. Much. Fun💕💕💕💕🙏🏻

[@franparent8520]

My favorite summer memory was when I was 8 years old and there was a small craft store in my home town. She held classes all summer and I learned to sew, knit and cross stitch. I still do all three at 63! Now I’m sharing those skill sets with my grandchildren.

[@marilynengler2919]

My most loved summer memories are beautiful days spent at my dear friend’s home on a tranquil lake in Minnesota. Mornings began in a warm robe with a hot cup of coffee waiting for the call of the loons, then a walk through the woods followed by a slow pontoon ride around on the lake often joined by bald eagles. The sunsets are varied each one being even more spectacular! It’s so lovely to end the day with a glass of wine listening to favorites my friend nightly at her piano. That is my heaven on earth! Thanks for asking as I have enjoyed actually writing about this special time in my life!

[@janisjagielkymiller6869]

Best summer memory is spending summers at a cottage and swimming and hanging with family. Memorial Day picnic!!!

[@patroyer2451]

Best summertime memory is lounging by my pool with family and friends.

[@susankurzsebesta3169]

I enjoyed Susan's energy and enthusiasm for playing with fabric! My favorite summer memory is playing with my cousins outside after dark with the fireflies on the lawn and the June bugs on the porch. We had a blast!

[@lesleebarrow7317]

I enjoyed this immensely!! Please have Susan Ache back. Favourite summer memory would be taking my girls when they were younger out to Vancouver Island for summer vacation. We went back several times!

[@roxannejusczak6514]

I enjoyed Kimberly and Susan Ache so much! This was one of the best Fridays ever!I can't think of just one summer memory, but I would have to say when my youngest son got married and all my kids and grandkids spent a week at Folly beach and just played in the sand and spent time at the beach all day long and in the evening would walk to wherever we were going to eat. There was nothing like it being all together.

[@lauraswensen5898]

Best summer memory is when my granddaughter was 9 and had her quilt entered at the Vermont Quilt Show. She was so happy when people stopped by to congratulate her. We both had a quilt entered.

[@soniabrathwaite2262]

Best summer memory is spending time with my grandparents at their summer home.

[@sherik8274]

My best summer memory is neighborhood popsicle truck as a child and running through sprinkler. Thanks, Susan, for being live today and sharing your quilting seam riper tip.

[@karenmeadows7216]

I have shook my head, answered you both and laughed with you both. I enjoyed this flosstube sew sew much!!! Would love to be sitting in a room with both you girls! Sew much fun!!! My best summer memory is the first summer we got to go camping at Claytor Lake State Park. I was maybe 7 years old. Daddy bought a truck camper that sit on the back of a pickup truck way back when. We took 2 of our neighbor friends with us. We had so much fun that summer with our first camper. We have camped at Claytor Lake every summer since. I am now 63 years old and yes I will be going back this summer with my cross stitch projects ❤️❤️❤️

[@janbristow9481]

Thanks, ladies! Today's discussion was fascinating. Love your quilts, Susan! My best summer memory.....when my Aunt let my friend and I come spend a week with her at her beach house in Newport Beach, CA. The house was built in the 30s or 40s, and was right NEXT to the beach....there was only a sidewalk between the patio and the sand! I think we were about age 12 at the time; this was in the late 1960's. My Aunt was pretty chill so she let us have a lot of unsupervised time to play in the ocean and walk the beaches and piers in the area. The guest bedroom was upstairs, facing the ocean, so we kept the window open so we could hear the waves and feel the salt breeze all night long. Not a care in the world. That week was heaven on earth!

[@jillsavage9139]

My best summer memory is when my mom and dad took us to the beach for a week. We had kids there,too. We were able to do this several times over the years. These weeks were also my kids favorite memories so we are beginning this tradition for our grand kiddos, too!

[@lindamahoney9450]

My best summer memory was staying at my grandmother's house in the summer. I loved strapping on my roller skates and skating on the sidewalks near her house. I got to go to the county fair with my cousin. We would spend all day there. My grandmother used to tell me family stories when we sat outside on the patio near her flower garden. I got to watch my grandfather oil paint and also got to watch him build furniture in his garage. I found out recently that I was the only one allowed to do that. I love the new book and am excited to make the Lazy Afternoon quilt. It is my favorite. I'm using fabric I already have. Thanks for a lovely presentation today!

[@richardallen1391]

Kimberly and Susan this has been wonderful and the book is beautiful. My favorite summer memories are time spent at my grandparents when all of my cousins would come in from out of town and we would play outside until the lightening bugs came out. I have lost so many of these family members now so the time spent together is so precious.Thanks so much! Janine

[@deborahnewcomb683]

My best summer memory was taking my toddler son to the same lake I went to as a child and buying him a soft serve ice cream that slowly melted and covered his sweet face and hands. A quick dunk in the lake cleaned him up, just as my mom did with me when I was little! Wonderful interview. I learned so much and will purchase the book tonight. Thank you! ❤

[@stitchybecky7510]

What a great interview! I’ve made several of Susan’s quilt patterns and they’re always beautiful. My favorite summer memories are the ones I’m making now, with my kids. They’re old enough to be active participants in whatever we do, but young enough to still be spending their summers hanging out with mom and dad. I treasure their childhood summers as much as I loved my own ❤

[@karenhobbs8800]

My favorite summer memory is grabbing all the quilts with my kids and making tents on the clothes line outside. Then they would play with dolls and trains in the quilt tents. Such great fun❣️

[@Wilsonboy2011]

You have to keep it 100% with yourself and do what you love. I am glad that you two both still love quilting and have not let the business part of quilting ruin it.🙌🏾

[@rosehixon2790]

This was a great interview. Susan is fun and a great designer. Kimberly is a wonderful teacher and now a great interviewer. Susan is right it’s like the today show of Quilting.

[@mtyner641]

My best summer memory is the last summer vacation before my son passed. He loved the beach. I don't have many pictures of him and I together because mom is always holding the camera but one of my favorites is of him and me on the beach. Memories is all I have and I cherish them. Quilting is my therapy.

[@tinamuse9518]

My best summer memory is staying at my Granny's in Kentucky. She caused my great love of quilts. Helping her do her laundry on an old wringer washer and hanging them on the line in the sunshine... watching the quilts dance in the breeze... 🥰

[@nellsgirl]

Such a great interview!!!

[@barbaramoore7362]

My best summer memory was spending time with my grandmother and aunt on the farm and my other grandmother in the city. So much fun

[@garnettasmith1717]

Does anyone else find themselves nodding in agreement as if you were there with Susan and Kimberly? 😂

[@melissarester-je4yy]

And talk as if I can be heard, 😆

[@elaineres1]

Definitely.

[@debbienoreski6086]

Yes definitely. I took notes!

[@debbienoreski6086]

I just love Susan’s outlook. I have not made a quilt yet but I buy tons of fabric. I love, love fabric. I am making a Dresden as my first quilt because I love the look. Fingers crossed!

[@fallenangel1049]

Yes…lol….great interveiw

[@debwhite2465]

Susan Ache is a treasure! Really enjoyed the interview; great questions by Kimberly and the viewers. Please have her on again soon!

[@mariastallman2759]

I grew up living 3 miles from the pier in Huntington Beach, CA. My favorite summer memory is going to the beach almost daily, either taking the public bus or riding my bike with just a towel in hand. The beach is my happy place. ❤️

[@deborahkochick9606]

Loved today's livestream. Susan Ache was a great guest. Favorite childhood memory was going camping with my family. We would travel and stay at a campground. Met people from all over.

[@lindasatterthwaite9569]

A favorite summer memory was making cookies and lemonade and taking them out to my father in the field during harvest. He loved it. What a special family time.❤. You two did a great job today. I am going to look through my stash. Love the border on the quilt. Thank you for all you do ❤❤❤ Linda

[@MissusH575]

This interview is so FUN! Your two personalities mesh and your comments together were both fascinating, informative, and HILARIOUS. I wish you could do a monthly or bi-annual show: "Jolly and Ache" -- where together you share your likes and dislikes about quilting and cross stitch and discuss all things related to your products and the quilting/cross stitch worlds in general. LOVED this interview! Thank you for it.

[@lepowell423]

I mostly grew up in Va, so around 1964 my brother & I got to visit my Grandparents in Florida (leaving all the other brothers & sisters at home). It was magical!! It was truly the best summer ever. I had wonderful grandparents!! The next year, my mother wanted to move there also - Loved this show & interview - I am looking forward to sewing along on the basket journey!!

[@terrimccluskey1979]

Best Summer memory: Swimming lessons at the local lake, that my grandmother took me to. Love this program. Looking forward to the next adventure the two of you bring us. Thank you!!

[@lisacameron6004]

I totally agree with you all… the book is gorgeous! All of these quilts and cross stitch are on my bucket list to do! My favorite Summer memory is making homemade Ice-cream and playing music with my family! Thank you again for all the inspiration! ❤

[@sandyorth4067]

My favorite summer memories involve family, doing something fun. Swimming, walking State Park trails and picnics. Thank you for such a fun live.

[@Christine-ix7tp]

As a returning stitcher and wanna-be quilter I so so enjoyed this video! Second time I’ve seen Susan and love your enthusiasm and stories! Love the Summer Memories book and it may be my starting point for quilting. I keep saying ditto to everyone’s favorite summer memory. Thanks ladies!

[@joytenney8361]

Susan is delightful! My favorite summer memories were at my grandparents house. They had a huge apple tree that my cousins and I loved to climb. During one summer party, Grandpa joined my sister, cousins and I up in the apple tree. We were all sitting on one long branch with Grandpa in the middle. We kids got a huge kick out of him being in the tree with us! Thank goodness my aunt got a picture, it's one of my most treasured ones!

[@donnaboyd5108]

I so enjoy Susan Ache! Can't wait to get started on this quilt. Finalizing my fabric selections this weekend. I truly want to make every quilt and every cross stitch in the Summer Memories book. Love it that much! My favorite summer memory is going tubing at the river. So much fun. ❤🤍💙

[@janislangdon6672]

Thanks so much for this awesome conversation! So much helpful information and I so appreciate the encouragement to make our quilts what WE want and love. My favorite summer memory is riding bikes into town (I grew up in the country) with my best friend. We had so much fun with our little bit of freedom!! ❤

[@sewnsew4fun]

Best summer memory; many years staying for a week at the beach with my entire extended family. Never laughed so much or had so many hugs. Great live! Thank you. Can't wait to get the book and start the sew along.

[@jeanmclellan1823]

Very tough question Susan! At 64, I have a few but I will pick Easter weeks at the beach with my parents, my children and husband and my brother’s family. I guess I am so lucky to have so many summer memories to choose from! Many Congratulations on your new book! It’s memorable♥️

[@LindaHill-dw7uj]

My favorite Summer memory is roller skating outside with my friends. This was when I had the old metal roller skates that fit over my shoes. Somehow I only ended up with scraped hands and knees and no broken bones! I loved meeting Susan Ache - she seems like a fun lady!

[@hootnanny1315]

Wonderful livestream with Susan Ache. Obviously, there was not enough time for all the topics to be addressed. So, I know she will need to return! Thanks for the tips, comments, stories, etc. Can't get enough of this type of content. Favorite summer memories - camping with family. Keep up the great work!

[@Meems55]

My best summer memory is seeing all my grandkids make their own favorite summer memories at the same beach area I love and spent every summer growing up❤

[@faeriepabich6414]

What an wonderful idea! I could sit with you two all day. Now I have to go throw out my seam ripper and break open the new one I’ve never opened!🤣 My best summer memories are being at my grandmother’s in Mobile…we would have so many fun times. Making her Adirondack chairs into a fort, riding the trolley car to the the dime store downtown and eating lunch at the counter, learning to crochet and do embroidery. Treasures I love to remember.🥰. Thank you for such a delightful and informative morning! And I will say, FQS is the BEST at writing patterns…no one else can compare!

[@pcrockett9651]

every summer my mum & dad took us kids camping in a tent at the lake for one month in the summer, a real family summer at the lake, it was the greatest summer tradition, every summer to spend family time together. Precious Memories.

[@grandmastraw]

That was amazing! You have to have Susan Ache on again. She is fabulous and what a sense of humor! I am going to check all my seam rippers later today for dullness…it’s not anything I ever gave a second thought to. My favorite summer memories are of being a kid and going to Big Sandy resort every summer, renting the same cabin each year, and all the fun we had as a family, seeing my parents in a new light, relaxed, and having fun themselves. Blessings and take care.

[@carolp1581]

I discovered recently how full some of mine are.

[@traciweiland2718]

This was such an amazing interview. Thanks Susan and Kimberly for a great show. My favorite Summer Memories are of spending the summers at my grandparents…helping my grandfather in the garden and watching wrestling with him, helping my grandmother in the kitchen, and watching soap operas with her in the afternoon. Playing croquet in the front yard. Making homemade ice cream. There are so many more memories. My phone battery would die before I named them all.

[@sgchevy1]

Best Summer Memory was when I was about 10. I lived in Seabrook TX and all of my friends in our neighborhood in Seabrook rode unicycles, about 8 of us had all learned how over the previous few years. There was a huge 4th of July parade scheduled and we all decided to ride our unicycles in the parade! It was fun but the stopping and starting in certain parts made most of them give up. My dad had put an American flag on a broomstick for me so I could lean on it or have a way to restart pedaling with out holding on to something. I was the only one that made it all the way through the Parade day! Great times on the Bay for sure! Happy Summer Memories to you both Kimberly and Susan! What a great show today! Thank you so much!

[@monataylor2600]

So fun to put a face to the name Susan Ache, which I hear every time "Oh, I love that quilt!!!!" ... Susan Ache! Thanks for this interview, Kimberly!

[@anaadcock4888]

Loved this live stream. Susan is awesome! Best summer memory is my husband and I built a deck and fire pit on our property and had the family over on the 4th of July for a cookout and fireworks. My daughter was little and absolutely loved it and had the best laugh when her grandpa got marshmallows all over his face! So glad everyone continues to come every year.

[@krisasbill8408]

My best summer memories are from when I was in college. I lived with my grandma who worked at the Dallas Morning News. She got me a summer job and I lived with her during the summers. I loved her so much and am so grateful I got to spend that time with her.

[@denisepineda1788]

By best summer memory is when we went on vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida. It was the summer after my 8th grade year. My brother and I had so much fun swimming and meeting people. The people were so nice, the water was beautiful, and the seafood was fabulous. We were having so much fun that my Mom and Dad decided to stay a couple of extra day. An outstanding memory!

[@lanastewart7310]

I loved the visit with you and Susan! My best summer memory is spending a week with my grandmother. It is a precious memory that I cherish! Wish I could have spent more weeks with her! ❤

[@allisonmccullough6082]

This was such a fun show - I felt like I was visiting with friends 😊. Susan you are awesome! My favorite summer memories are being at the beach with my parents, my dad LOVED to go and just "people watch" so we would spend ALL DAY on the beach. I would play until I was worn out and my dad would sit under the umbrella and just watch everyone - he didn't mind staying out there with me all day if I wanted, we had so much fun!

[@marygoode1058]

Wonderful video, Kimberly and Susan! Favorite summer memories are about all the fun our family has had vacationing at Big Manistique Lake in the UP of Michigan...27 years of great times watching our kids and their cousins growing up and enjoying being with each other!❤️

[@melissac_rustyhingestitchery]

My best summer memory is jumping on our trampoline with all our neighborhood friends. ❤

[@traceyheinle]

What a fabulous live stream ❤❤❤ Thank you!!! My favorite summer memory was always playing outside with my siblings and neighbor friends, we played freeze tag, made forts in bushes and played school or house, roller skated, rode our bikes or any fun games we could think of….and because it was summer we could stay out until the street lights came on 🙌🏻 Great summer memories for sure!!! 🥰

[@roxysherburne9027]

Dear Kimberly, Great Live today with Susan Ache! Loved it! Yes, the mat at 38/40" wide would be Super Fantastic! What I am using right now is my Olfa 24" X 36" mat with a smaller sized one - 5-1/2" X 7-1/2" at the left side tucked under at the 5" line and taped with packaging tape at the zero side. Works great when you need those few extra inches. I'm going to add Summer Memories to my next order. Best summer memory was spending time with my Grandma Falkie in River Falls, WI. I remember the old treadle sewing machine in the dining room. She had a beautiful rock garden in the back yard. Thank you so much!

[@ddsteptoe]

This interview was the best. So much fun. Thank you Kimberley and Susan.🍉

[@annhumphrey2829]

Susan is delightful! One of my best summer memories is renting a cottage for a heavenly week near Point Reyes National Seashore for a solo artist's retreat - went on a hike each day and filled the rest of the day with quilting (also pin-basted a queen-sized quilt sandwich on the floor), crochet, design, reading, writing, bird watching in the garden and more - no internet or screens.

[@elainemosman1573]

My favorite summer memory was an Independence Day celebration on the lawn of the community college in my parents' hometown in Pennsylvannia. We were there with three generations of my family. Local families were on quilts/blankets with their picnics, kids were playing all over the grassy knolls, and there was a live band playing patriotic music. The band played tributes to each military branch by playing each them song. It was all followed by fireworks overlooking the lake! Awesome day! Susan's "Summer Memories" quilts would be perfect for those kind of days!

[@rebeccamulkern1051]

Wow, I hadn't heard of Susan Ache before, but what a lady! Loved everything about her, what a great Q and A, thanks Kimberley ❤

[@jostauffer6637]

Great show today! Love the basket quilt although I will not be able to sew along. I will watch from afar and maybe someday. Favorite summer memory: A summer day vacation with my young family at a New Jersey beach, Avalon. I am a fussy summer person, as I suffer from heat and too much sun. This was a PERFECT day. Not too hot, sunny or wild in the water. The jelly fish were non existent and the waves were gentle. No sign of Jaws or that annoying seaweed that often tangles around your legs and tries to take you under! Spent the whole day (almost) playing in the waves with my children and husband and I will be grateful for that day for the rest of my life. Everything was PERFECT and the only day at the beach I ever experienced like that!

[@jeanettewithrow9641]

FQS does have the best directions, hand down. The quilts allways turn out exactly. Thanks for video

[@NaomiC336]

When we were kids, my family had friends lived in the country about 40 minutes from our house. We loved going there, playing in the silo, riding the horse, pumping water (they were very primitive at that time). They were actually neighbors to my great grandparents. After I was married, my husband helped them on the farm. This was 2 sisters and a brother that lived together snd never married. So many fond memories of Richard and ‘the girls’.

[@bobbyelaine66]

Both of you doing what you love and sharing your knowledge -- so enjoyed this interview! Inspired to get out my comfort zone with all of the talk of color and just little tips throughout. Love love the Veranda quilt. The ups and downs and eventual silliness of road trips when I was a child and then with my own are some of the best memories

[@tristadav]

Loved this show- I've loved Susan's designs and now appreciate her fun personality. Favorite summer memories- going barefoot and being outside all day, riding horses, and the lovely fresh berries of summer.

[@kathybuker5394]

Loved this live presentation!! Thank you!! My favorite summer memories as a child were playing outside with friends, swimming and visiting my relatives’ farms. As an adult my favorite is being at the beach with family.

[@pfmque]

Wow! A great interview that will be remembered with Susan Ache! Summers were fun going to church youth camps, finding good friends and lots of activies! But my favorite is going to granny's in West Palm Beach FL. We. Would wake early sitting on carport sipping coffee (not something normally allowed at home). Thank you again for a wonderful interview! Pamela Mewborn

[@sandracarrillo1260]

Susan Ache is so much fun. Loved the interview. Looking forward to the quilt along. My best summer memory was spending time with grandkids.

[@tonyvickiyoung1881]

Vicki Young here. A fun summer memory was visiting my grandma in the summer on their farm and one year she taught me how to make a home made crust for our apple pie. The best. Susan was great to listen to.

[@lisamarieritty1788]

Best summer memory is when the family stayed at the shore where we stayed On the bay but could walk to the beach. We got to enjoy fishing, kayaking, crabbing and then get lunch and go swimming at the beach and build sand castles.

[@peggycox539]

My best summer memory was to go crabbing with my grandparents while visiting Virginia Beach. My grandmother saved chicken necks all year long (frozen) and when we would come for our annual summer visit, we would head out for the shallows and attach the necks to a string. But then the crabs became very interested in nibbling our toes. What joy to remember a childhood memory! Thoroughly enjoyed your video!

[@jpthompson]

I just loved being a kid and staying with family during those long Southern summer days!

[@lynnscroggins7104]

My favorite summer memories go back a long way. We would always camp at Beaver’s Bend every summer. We would camp with dear friends and made new friends early on that would camp the same weeks we did . So, we could all play together year after year. When we had children we took them camping at the same place we camped as kids. It was so fun to see them enjoying what I did as a child. This year we will start the tradition with our sweet grandsons! My parents stayed in a cabin there for their honeymoon. So, this summer will start the fourth generation of camping memories there💕

[@debbiepenalber1369]

Loved the interview with Susan and who knew you had to change out your seam ripper, makes so much sense. My favorite summer was the first time I went on a quilt retreat and I made my first quilt. I went with the most amazing ladies that taught me so much. I still have that quilt on the back of my couch, because some sweet lady at the sweet shop told me to pick the colors I liked and then she would help me put them together ❤️

[@teri_rootsofmysoul]

My favorite summer memories are spending 2 wks of every summer month with my great aunt, who was a librarian. I loved working with her and playing in the library.

[@OGGgirl]

My best summer memory is the time I went on a cruise to the Caribbean - everything was perfect, the weather, the ocean/sea, the food, the cabin, the peoplr we met, just everything. It was a great introduction to the world of cruising!

[@melissamakesquilts5803]

My best summer memory is the cross-country road trip my family took a few years back. So many fun stops, AND I was hand stitching the binding on a patriotic flag quilt as we drove across our nation. I want to do it again, but this time visit national parks as I hand stitch my national park quilt. 👌🏻🙌🏻💕

[@joslynplatt8373]

My favorite summer memories are of being at the ball park watching my dad play and running around being a kid!

[@AnnaMarie-on5hz]

My best summer memory is when I was a child was sitting in my grandmother's yard by her peony bushes in the sunlight and being in awe of the beautiful colors. That is when I knew I wanted to be maker and create beautiful things!

[@sheryllanciano7808]

My best summer memory is spending a week at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire and watching my young sons play in the water and go fishing. And in the evening we always wet to an ice cream stand in town! It was fun and relaxing and so far removed from our usual hustle and bustle life in Las Vegas. Thanks for the great video!

[@kimiikins]

Best summer memory: The best ever summer was when my "Heart Light" took me to see the icecap! OMG! I got to touch it, stand next to it and the air was so pure, that I became intoxicated by the time we left. I have chronic airway disease (life long) from birth so the air was so pure and clean. I have never been able to experience that till then. It was truly amazing! I have photos of us standing inside a small cave that was part of the icecap. Nature is truly amazing!

[@stephaniez.hironimus4007]

Oh my goodness, Kimberly... definitely bring Susan back someday on a live stream! She is such a delight & so inspirational. I cannot wait to see what you have planned with her & Lissa Alexander. My favorite summer memory is with my Nana & Pap.. they had a super big car & literally all 7 grandchildren would pile in. They were far from wealthy, but back in the 80s you could go to an amusement park without an admission fee & just buy tickets per ride. My Nana & Pap were just the best... Love your livestreams so much 🩷

[@teresafrisone7498]

Wonderful livestream! You all made my Sunday morning! So many favorite summer childhood memories, so will share the first one that popped in my head is sitting in lawn chairs with my parents, sisters and grandma stringing green beans, shelling limas and just talking together.

[@cherilittle3551]

Fabulous live today. My favorite summer memory was when I took my two sons camping and hiking. It was just the three of us and I had no idea what I was doing. We had a blast.
