Weekend at the Lake and Friday Night sew-in

I have not yet done the Friday Night Sew-in because I ended up going out of town for the weekend with my friend, Laverne.  I will do my "Friday night" this coming Friday night instead.     Thank you, Heidi  and Bobbi for hosting this wonderful Sew-in!
Laverne has twin grandsons, and I have been trying to work on little play quilts for them, and I am very behind, but I have finally got a grip on quilting on the sewing machine since I got my 401A thru Michelle.  I love love love this machine!  the quilting is so very easy on it.  I used the basting spray and all the layers stayed just like I wanted them to.  All I like finishing this one is the binding.  It should be finished by the end of this week.  
I just need to put the binding on this one and get the second one started.
Below are a few pictures from my weekend get-away.

My weekend was great!  We read books, solved the problems of the world with conversation, sat on the dock and got some well needed sun and had some great food!  It does not take much for us these days to enjoy ourselves, just give us good food, good books, and a beautiful lake house! 
Here are some scenes from the lake house that is owned by Laverne's brother.  He is so creative!  Above, he got an old tea pot, and an old dishpan, and made a water fountain!  It looks better than my pictures depict! 
But here is the best!  This table in a bedroom was made from an old Singer treadle machine base!  he painted it and put a glas top on for a night table.  It is absolutely beautiful!
