"A Little Sea-Bathing"

Hullo all, I am just now having a chance to blog about our nice vacation last week. Mike's sister and her husband were in town for a few days, and we had a lovely time showing them around the Philadelphia area. We took them to the Jersey shore one day for some heavenly relaxation on the beach. I happened to have also finished off Tanya's delightful Jane Austen freebie which reads: "A little sea-bathing would set me up forever." I heartily agree with Mrs. Bennett! This design told me it wanted to be a pillow with some nautical striped fabric and a hanger made of twine. I hung it on our wreath on the front door with a bit of extra twine, fabric, and flowers.





We also visited the historic district, including the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the Betsy Ross house, where the first American flag was made at George Washington's request, by a humble seamstress. There were many antique flags on display which was neat to see.

Your sea-bathing stitching is so pretty! Matches with the fabric you used, colours like the wave, sky.
