On Saturday morning my husband and I went to a small town named Washington. It is located on the Pamlico River. There is a really nice board walk which we walked the length of (1,500 ft. long) and along the way we saw some really neat sights I thought I would share with you.
Around the town there are decorated crabs. I thought this one was really pretty.
This is a photo of the largest group of lily pads I have ever seen.
Here some photos of the flowers in their different stages of growing.
Here are some of the creatures that live among the lily pads.
Last week Happy Cottage Quilter had a week long giveaway. I did not win one of the official giveaway gifts but I did win a surprise gift of this sunny summery fabric. Thank so very much for the lovely fabric.
We have another new blogger in our midst. She came to visit my blog and her blog looks like it will be fun to read as she progresses. Check out Nifty Fifty Quilters.With Passion,

Really interesting pictures. Love the turtles :-)
How nice to see them looking at your quilt so closely! I think they know how much work goes into it!
Amazing pictures of the creatures that live among the lovely water lilies!
Wonderful summer win!
I love that quote by Henri Nouwen! I haven't been to Washington, but have heard about what a quaint town it is. Congrats to you as your family grows, it's such a blessing to add new family members... more to quilt for! ;)
I think there will be years of snuggling under that cozy and happy quilt. Pretty photos. I recognize the lotus blossom from the pond. They have HUGE leaves too.
This is my first time to your blog and I enjoyed reading your posts. I am new to blogging and quilting and I am having a great time with both! Thanks for sharing!

They looked as though they were loving on that quilt! The rest of your trip looked delicious. I am, of course, a little partial to water lilies! ~karen
Dear Hubby and I went to East Carolina so you were in our old stomping grounds! Been to Little Washington many times. It is a wonderful little town. If you are ever that way again and have some time, check out Edenton. It's another quaint historic town in that part of the state.
Wow! That really is a lot of lily pads! Sounds like you had a fun getaway.
Your son and future DIL look quite taken with the quilt! I love boardwalks - looks as though you had a wonderful trip!
Cheers!
