Are you ready to sew Block 5 of my quilt The Sweet Life?
As you know from listening to my videos about my Free Mystery quilt along, Vacation time, I grew up near the show, the ocean, water... where.. yes.. there are boats!
I am calling this block Lakeside. Let me tell you why...
One summer my dad had to work in another state, so we all went along with him. Some of his co-workers had a cabin on the lake, and we were going to stay there for a few days to enjoy lake life!
Sounds like fun right?
My memory and my mom's differ... seems it rained. And rained, and rained some more. And she was stuck in a cabin, on a lake, with wild kids.. ha!
But I remember it much differently. I don't even remember the rain. But I do remember the amazing cabin (it was green) with a funky screen door to the porch and a path to the lake. The magical lake. I remember sailboats that glided and it was so neat to be there for a few days.
