The Amalfi Coast And A Day At Sea

We did not go to Amalfi, we stayed in Vietri sul Mare which is where the port is. Anyone who has seen a picture of the Amalfi Coast knows the towns are built on the sides of the mountains so it is very steep. We took a taxi to the top and then walked down. The town was really cute and there were lots of shops.

After some shopping we headed down to eat and go to the beach. This beach had sand which was so much better than the rocks. We had to rent 2 umbrellas and 4 chairs–no option on that. I did not wear a bathing suit so I just relaxed on the chair under an umbrella. Then we went across the street and got some pizza. And that was our day in Vietri sul Mare. We took a cab back to port and had dinner in the dining room again. I was exhausted and went to bed really early,

A day at sea means sleeping in and lounging around. We didn’t get up until 8:30. Went to the buffet for breakfast and then I went to our room for a bit and John went to the gym. Then we hung out by the pool for a while. John and I went to the theatre to see Karen Grainger. She has such an incredible voice. We had lunch at the buffet–all the shrimp you can eat. Christy and I did a scavenger hunt with the kids. That was a lot of fun. We came in second out of 2 teams.

After the scavenger hunt we went to dinner in the main dining room. They had lobster and beef wellington, roasted duck l’orange. Tonight was a special night as the guests cheered on their wait staff. They paraded throughout the restaurant as we waved our napkins. Our main waitress grabbed Sefina to parade with her. Amalia and Minki joined in. It was a lot of fun. We also played Deal No Deal and John won $5. in the casino. After dinner we played one spin and lost it all. Oh well. Leeman also bought us all a round at roulette and again we lost. Enough gambling for me and John we don’t like playing with money that way. We ended the night in the theatre watching a violinist. He was quite amazing.

And that’s a wrap for today.

My journey with sewing began when I was just seven or eight years old. My grandmother was a talented seamstress, and she introduced me to the world of fabric, thread, and creativity. Under her guidance, I learned the basics of sewing and spent many years making clothing and other projects. Despite growing up in a family of quilters, I always insisted that quilting wasn't for me. While my sisters happily pieced together quilts, I was convinced I would never make one myself.Life, however, had other plans. In 2018, my mother came to live with me, and together we began spending time quilting. What started as an opportunity to share time with her quickly became a passion I never expected. Before long, I found myself completely immersed in the art of quilting, discovering the joy, creativity, and sense of accomplishment that comes with turning fabric into something beautiful and meaningful. Since then, quilting has become much more than a hobby. It has become a way to honor the generations of women who taught me, preserve traditional sewing skills, and create lasting memories through handmade craftsmanship. Today, I am continuing that tradition by teaching my son everything I know about sewing, piecing, embroidery, and quilting. Together, we are building Sew Together—a place where creativity, family, and quilting come together one stitch at a time. I believe every quilt tells a story, and I am grateful to be sharing mine while helping others create stories of their own.
