Happy Fabric!

Today my friend Stacee Pitt and I went fabric shopping for fabric to share for the "happy" quilts we are going to make. Oops- looks like she ended up with all the golden yellows- we are going to split it all up (with Deb McFarland and Sandy Call too) next Thursday. A few of these were in our stash already. Linda Bye is coming too but she is making her quilt with a brown background.

Here is a preview of parts of the "happy quilt". The blue is for some birds!

And I found these Cherry Fizz  fabrics for my collection. Yes, I collect cherry fabric- but only ones I like.

Waffle Burger anyone?

Last Saturday Gary and Cameron got desperate for some hamburger buns so they invented waffle burgers. Elvin, Andrea, Jeff and Diane came over to play games- they declined a waffle burger but they were obviously hungry because we ate this much popcorn...

Sunny Saint George week-end

Alice and Laura and I spent the week-end in Saint George-Laura was in a triathlon at Sand Hollow. 

The weather was perfect for athletes and spectators alike.

 Writing the numbers on the first time. 

Of course we had to do it again so they would last through church the next day!

 Alice and Laura

 Those pink goggles helped us keep track of her.

 Finished in three hours and 10 min.

This is what happens when you edit your picture on the card and not on the computer. Just imagine Alice and me relaxing in lawn chairs while Laura bikes and runs.

What Cameron is doing lately

Making fire.

Making cabinets.

Midway quilt retreat!

Annette, Carol, Deb, Donna

We started out with some serious shopping.

Deb's 'Oh my Gosh" quilt-look at those little pieces!

Donna's basket quilt-looking at these two made us all want to start on a quilt with Happy Fabric!

Each of us made a happy chicken pin cushion out of the scraps.

Kristi and Teri (not pictured) came up for dinner on Friday.

 

Another of Deb's.

My additions:

I finished two quilt tops (Land that I love and Quik quilts salmon green and black) one quilt bound (pink and brown) and all log cabin blocks done.

Deb and I scored some glassware and books at the thrift store in Heber.

Mama Mia!

Deb, Stacee, Sandy and I  are going to make this happy quilt in our own block of the month club called pancake or pound cake girls (Pattern is made by piece o cake designs).

 

How to make bowling akwardness more akward.

Last week Heather and Jake came down to have their car problems looked at. We went bowling.We all agreed that the long walk back after you roll the ball is very awkward so maybe bowling should be avoided on first dates! So we (and by we, I mean Heather) decided you had to strike a pose after your turn.

 Jake-notice the new hair cut.

 Carol

 Gary

Heather's cute bowling shoes. On the bottom she has written useful information

like her scores, cost per use on the shoes, and ball speed!

HMQS quilt show (home machine quilters)

Cathy, Doris, Velda, and I went to the machine quilting show last Friday.Here is Cathy in front of her award winning quilt. She got Third place in the Riley Blake contest.

Very creative (and weird?)! This is just a section of a whole animal quilt named EIEIO.

We liked this quilt and when we read the card we found out that the Cramer's are related to the person who made the block Doris(pictured) remembers her (her Grand-daughter made them into this quilt.)

Little awesome things

Having the lap lane at the public pool all to yourself. Mmmm.

Prom week-end

Here is what I did Friday night.
Kids were supposed to pick them up by 10 am Saturday.
Maybe I'll start charging a late fee!
