It is finally officially summer! I had two days of a leadership conference this week and then we headed out to the mountains! Just enough time to make sure everything is packed and then we are off to Alaska. I will schedule posts for this Saturday and next while hoping for the best. I can at least check on this one, I have it set to go out super early so that I can make sure it is up before we leave for the airport. I try to never get Wi-Fi on cruises because it forces me to go offline and relax a bit. Kurt might need to check in for work, so at least we won't be completely cut off if something drastic happens. Right now I am busy making sure that I have enough kindle books and audio books to keep myself entertained on the days at sea. We have whale watching glacier trekking and a train ride scheduled for the days in port and then there is time at some national parks for hiking.
I carried the hex-diamonds along in the car for hand quilting. I am mostly done with the yellow row and started on the orange. I made sure to pack a spool of red thread and then one of the variegated for the dark row. This one should see a finish before too long. I have never done the knife edge before, so it isn't perfect, but I love the borderless look for this quilt. It has been in progress for the better part of a decade, but I am still happy every time I work on it. How are your oranges coming along?

Have a wonderful trip, I can't wait to read all about it. I appreciate you posting the linky super early. This means I can link my blog from New Zealand before I go to bed tonight, usually I make sure I wake up during the early hours about 2.00am to do this task.
Your hex diamonds quilt looks amazing, Angela! What an accomplishment that will be, no matter when it is finished. Have a wonderful trip! A cruise sounds relaxing and scenic. We loved Alaska when we went there!
It's so kind of you to think of us while you're on vacation! Have a great time in Alaska!
Enjoy your cruise!
Looking good, Angela! The knife edge finish with be lovely. Safe travels and enjoy your time in Alaska! Here's hoping the scheduled posts work well, but if they don't, we'll look forward to catching up with you upon your return.
Safe travels and enjoy your vacation. You deserve some peace and quiet!
That hexagon quilt has been amazing from the start. How wonderful that you are nearing a finish!
Have yourself a great vacation! It sounds like a lot of fun -- busy but yet restful.
Enjoy the cruise to Alaska. We did that in June 2023. It's such a beautiful place.
