A night out

For christmas we got tickets to see the Lion King at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas

catch up time - Cedar City retreat

Sherrie and Randi enjoying the retreat ( I hope)

mom flew down and we had a great time at the retreat.

These are the quilts I  did at the retreat. they were fun classes. The Friendship star, Cactus Wreath, Flying Pinwheel and Lone star. I was so nervous to do the Lone Star but it was easy and fun.

My sister will complain of too many quilt pix but I have to get caught up. I made Pace stand and hold each one so I could get pix. you'll see he dropped one too soon. Here's my Cat in the Hat. This will go to Colin someday.

This was the Tisket a Tasket off the internet

A Halloween Swap I was involved in. I did the block with the BOO on it and got the others from quilters all over.

Got my Believe quilt done except for some red buttons that go on the border. I love it

Took an applique class from Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnett in St. George, Ut. We did the eat cake block and this is how I decided to put it to use. I love dresden plates.

i'm doing 2 signature quilt for my family reunion. After everyone signs them, one will go in the family auction and I'm keeping the other. I love family heirloom things

saw this in Scrap apple and had to  make it. Loved theirs so I got the layer and extra fabric to make it just like it.

Surprised Pace. He dropped it too soon.

My Thimbleberries BOM. I love how it turned out. Now I just have to get busy and get them quilted. I'm trying to get caught up before I get piecing again. But I see so many things I want to make. Went to the Henderson Quilt Show yesterday with Carolyn, Lea and Dee. Had a great time but bought too much. Now I have more projects again.

Tanner got to go on a cattle drive a couple of months ago. He is the second froim the right.

Christmas eve

How did it get to be November

a group of friends did a swap with Lori Holts apron quilt. It turned out so cute. Now I'm deciding whether to scallop the edges or leave them straight.

This is hanging on the wall right now waiting for me to get back to it and get the blocks sewn together. I took the month of October to catch up on projects and get things quilted. This basket quilt was one of the many I did but I still have 7 more to get quilted. I'm working on christmas presents now so I can't show those yet.

I did an online tote bag swap. this is the one I made and I got the most darling one in return.

The boys coming home from the first day of school. I missed the morning shot.

Sundress I made for Olivia. I made some for Georgianna too. The two girls had fun at Georgie's b-day. Olivia helped open the present.

The boys got their wisdome teeth pulled. It was a quiet ride home.

I also did a BQ quilt with the Route 66 fabric. Who knows what I will do with them. Add them to the pile.

I even got a couple of schnibbles done.

The boys wanted to do something for Corey Dalley who has been the scout district leader and Stake Young Mens Pres. I put together this quilt with the Boy Scout fabric.

Foursey Onesy pattern by Shirley Baptist of Scrap Apple. It went together quick. It was one of my projects when my mom and I got to sew in her nice cool basement

I'm discombolulated. Pix are duplicating and I can't fix it!! Anyway here is the rest of my posting from before. Quilts I got bound on our trip to Montana.

A busy summer

I didn't think we had a lot happening this summer. I knew the boys would be gone to the National Jamboree but I expected to sit home and veg.....but then there were weddings and we went to Montana and took our grandson Bentley. I was feeling like the summer sewing season was passing me by but I stopped to take pix of what I had done and was amazed. So here's sew and tell.

Bentley with Great Grandpa, Great Grandma and checking out the history with grandpa

We even got in some rafting. And Bentley and I jumped off the cliff. Graceful, I'm not.

an addition to the family!

We had a wedding on July 3! Our son, Colin, married Samantha Miles in Logandale. It turned out beautiful. It was fun to have all our kids and grandkids here. 2 days later he flew out to Germany where he is stationed with the army. Samantha will be able to join him in 4-6 weeks. She is a sweetheart.
