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.

Our neighbor put together this sign to honor the boys inthe valley who are in the military. He has it at the end of his driveway so you can see it as you drive in the neighborhood. Jeff Humes, Kyler Freeman and Colin are the three across the top. Colin has done well at boot camp. He graduates next week. He will come home for a week for leave and then head back to be stationed in Germany. Doing that week he and Samantha Miles will be getting married. She is very patient to put up with the army schedule. We are excited to have her in the family.

I did a tulip swap. Mine is the deep purple in the left hand corner.
