A little update on my wool projects progress. I got another row added to the advent calendars and finally did this week's leaf last night!
Speaking of shout outs - a big shout out to my friend Rena who added color to her Sashiko piece (Pictured below). This turned out amazing! I love it! She is definitely one of the most creative people I know 😊
I had such a busy week last week. I meant to blog everyday and it just didn't happen! I wanted to share this Tempestry Project (temperature tapestry) that we saw at the visitor's center at Great Basin National Park. I thought it was cool that one represents 1916 and the other 2016.
Went on a fun road trip with my hubby this past week! It was nice to get away. We went to two national parks that neither of us had been to before, Capitol Reef, in Utah and Great Basin, in Nevada. We also saw Donny Osmond in Las Vegas. I had been wanting to see his new show which is a retrospective of his 60 years in show business! It was SO fun, we thoroughly enjoyed it! We also toured the Sphere in Las Vegas which was really interesting. And ended the week visiting family in Utah and seeing my granddaughter's lacrosse game on a cold, windy day. Fun times 🥰
Oh, and how could I forget, we stopped at two quilt stores along the way and I bought some wool for a new project! Will be sharing that soon 😊....
Q is for Quilt, R is for Rudolph (must not have taken a picture of that one yet), S is for Snowglobe, and P is for Present! I'm still have fun working on these and I also got Leaf #11 done yesterday. 😊
My friend Rena made one of the animal quilts! I really, really want to do this! she did such a great job, it's for a lucky little baby ❤️
And Nancy is working on this amazing quilt! It's turning out beautifully - can hardly wait to see it all finished! 👏
I was asked to give a trunk show presentation at two of the locals guilds this month, both on Wednesday, one in the morning and one in the evening. I was nervous about it, but ended up really enjoying it! It was fun pulling out my quilts and sorting through them, including these two - one made by my great grandmother Dora Bell McPherson and the other by my mother Melba Willard. The quilts in the pictures below are some that I've made. Doing the presenting also made me realize how much I miss the guilds! I've been rather lazy about going since things started up again after the pandemic. Anyway, it's time to get back and socialize with these lovely friends! Cheers for quilt guilds and Quilty friends! 👏❤️
Oh and a big thanks to my CEO hubby who hauled 50 quilts in and out of cars and unloaded and loaded them up from both meetings. He truly is the Carry Everything Out guy!! 🥰
I got two more done and sewed the bottom rows together on these Advent Calendars!
I saw this in The Quilt Show newsletter and I love it! I still want to go to Quilt Con someday. My friend told me it's back in Phoenix in 2027 so I'll make a plan. 😊
Two more stockings embellished! Did I mention that they are in alphabetical order? Dec. 1st is an angel. 2nd is a bell etc. I'm kind of working backwards here, but this is Vixen and below is an Ugly Christmas sweater 😂 I've also finished the Wreath, and the sleeping mouse X,Y,Z and the number 25 for Christmas Day.
Below is week 10 on Leaf the Week Behind. It's not my favorite but I'm determined to try them all!
I just love this picture of the new baby giraffe at the Denver Zoo! So cute! 🥰
Happy Sunday!
