Quilting in New England!

In March I went to Boston to see my sister and the premiere of  The Hunger Games
The weather was BEAUTIFUL and it was so fun to see my quilt on Lori's bed...she had accessorized it with a really pretty painting and turquoise and red pillows along with a white duvet....it looked great! Along with the visit to Boston, eating WAY too much and enjoying the gorgeous New England scenery (complete with old Churches and lighthouses =)), on Saturday we took the train down to Connecticut to visit a friend of mine who had moved there last year.

My friend Liz, is living the dream in Old Saybrook, CT with her great quilt-shop and sewing machine dealership, Coastal Sewing Machines.   She and her husband bought the business last year and it was so fun to see her and catch up as well as see her fun shop and all of the neat classes and projects she and her husband, Jeff, have been working on!  If you are Summering in New England, be sure to hop on the Amtrak and make a quick stop in Old Saybrook (her store is a 2 minute walk from the train station) to see all of the fun things they have going on!

Me, Liz and her cute girls enjoying the fun shops in Old Saybrook.  The Swag Shop was a hoot!

Coastal Sewing Machines!  Definitely worth the trip!  I hope I get an opportunity to teach a class here one day in the not-to-distant future!
