Starry Log Cabin QOV and !! Finished!! ( or not) Friday!!!!

Happy Happy Friday!!

Hope you had a super Quilty Fun filled Week!!!

We had winter and spring all in the same days - so we made sure to go ride horses and fix fences during the spring part of the day, and try to be inside on the winter part of the day. We messed up Tuesday - and rode in the wind. Wind is not all that bad sometimes, its the sand that blow with it.

On the other hand - my face is very smooth after all that sand hit it haha!

last year at one of our QOV Sew Days and with our online group we made these Little Log Cabins... and this week - I got some of them put into a top!



I tried to use the ones with darker fabric to make the star in the middle, and fill in with the lighter ones. - I think it turned out pretty cool... We also tried to take the photos outside, but remember that wind?

Its not to nice to soft cloth!!!  But we tried haha



I also finished this book - it is on Amazon Kindle *Click here to see it* 
I kind of liked it - the lady loses the ability to recognize faces and it changes the way she loves her life - its interesting. I think that would make quilting very interesting....













And I got to quilt some amazingly fun quilts from my clients - this one - Man I just loved the wild color play in it - and the stripes - brought it all together!!!











Alright - it that time in the post for YOU !!! SHOW off - what did you finish? Not Finish?  Show off and let us celebrate what you did!!!

Escape to Belize - Secret Beach

We had heard about this place called Secret Beach and thought we would like to head out a see what it really was... Just a hint - It was NOT secret!!! 


It is, however, the other side of the island and was awesome. There are a bunch of bars/restaurants along the beach. They have lounges and chairs and tables in the water - you pick your spot, put your feet up - and relax!


We chose our chairs and settled in... and we also swam, and had a drink out at the tables in the water, and just chilled.... 


I did, of course, take a photo of the Thatched roof over my head, I made some friends from Missesota, they were smart and were escaping the cold too. 

The waiters come by about every 3-5 minutes ( I exaggerate) to make sure you have every thing you need. Its pretty nice - I ordered fish for lunch. K ordered lobster. I am not sure what I was expecting, but I don't think it was the whole fish. I think I was expecting a fish steak, like a cross section - it made me laugh.




So of Course K had to skin it, and debone it and get it ready for me to eat..... But it was yummy!!!
That was a great way to spend the morning/afternoon. We didn't stay too long after lunch, there is only so much sitting around a person can do.

we headed back to our place - and walked the shoreline







Then we had to get ready to leave..... that was sad. I am one that is good for about 5 days, then I want to be back home. This time - I could have stayed another week. We were gone 8 days, and it didn't seem that long!


if you remember my beginning, after landing in Belize city - you take a water taxi or a puddle jumper to the Caye - we took the Water taxi. For our way back - we took the plane!!! THAT!!! was awesome. and less wet, and only 15 minutes ( compared to the 1 1 /2 hours)


I had a birds eye view, and really really wanted to help them land... but they didn't need me. 


Now to plan our next years trip - what's a favorite place you've been that you would recommend to not super seasoned international travelers. I mean - I have my passport - I should use it right???
