Glad you're back, Candi. Hope you had a great vacation. Will be looking forward to seeing your blocks.
Patti, I am in the very, very early learning of stages of digitizing. I was able to take that design today and make just an outline for the first round of stitching so I have just the outside lines and not the insides for cutting away the batting. I felt real accomplishment at getting that far. I THINK I can digitize pebbles (or I'll ask my DH's sister to do it for me).
There are so many new things I'm learning for this quilt and each day I don't know which one I want to be working on, doing the applique, working on the trapunto, practicing free motion quilting, figuring out which QAYG process I want to use, and on and on and on. But it's fun.

I finished a UFO today; a table runner that I embroidered flower blocks last year. I pieced them together and then I machine quilted it and sewed on the binding. It looks great on my dining room table. I started cutting out the T shirt squares for my DGS quilt. We are leaving tomorrow to go camping in St. Augustine and we won't be home until late Sat. I wish I could take my sewing machine with me but the fun of camping is to spend time with my DH and just relax. I am still aiming for June 5 to start AOTH. We'll be celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary on May 6. I'll probably gain 5 pounds because I have so many favorite restuarants in St. Augustine. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Relax and enjoy your time away, your sewing will be waiting for your return. But I know what you mean by wanting to take it with you. Sewing separation anxiety!!
The days are too short, never seem to get accomplished everything on my agenda either.
