The Vendor Mall

We went to Utah this past weekend to see a play and lucky me, it was the same weekend as Garden of Quilts at Thanksgiving Point.  My daughter and grandson went with me on Friday.  The day started out very rainy and it's an outdoor quilt show, so first up was the Vendor Mall, while we waited for the weather to clear!  I wasn't sad! 😊

 

BoHo is Coming Along!

I was able to get some sewing in today.  I finished up the four inch blocks, made some three inch blocks and started on the two in blocks!  I have 20 more to make (they are all cut out, pictured below), then I can start assembling the quilt 🥰

Then I can clean up this mess! (Before making another one 😂)

 

Bancroft Elementary

I always thought I started quilting after we moved to Grand Junction, but as I was looking through old pictures I found these quilts that a friend of mine and I put together way back in the early 90's for my oldest daughter's first elementary school.  If I remember correctly, my friend came up with the idea of having all the kids at school (with their family) create a house block.  I think most of them were drawn or colored.  Then she and I put them together into what was supposed to be one quilt but ended up being three!  These first two pictures are the same quilt, the middle is a different quilt and the last two pictures are of the same quilt.  The kids in the pictures are mine and my son just turned 40 - I think he was four in these pictures. Wow!  Time flies!  I guess I was destined to be a quilter 🥰

I wonder where these quilts are now?  Still hanging at the school?

 

Your Photo is Ready!

 Our cute little grandson is, so far, not completely enjoying the kindergarten experience.  This is the picture my daughter got in her email after school picture day 😂.  She said this pretty much sums up how school has gone the first two weeks!!  I'm cracking up laughing - someday he will laugh about it too. 🥰

True Blue BYU!! 🏈

We had a wonderful experience last week as, through my son-in-law's efforts, Mike was named the True Blue hero of the week for the BYU football team!  It was a fun surprise for him and we had a lot of family come to help celebrate, which made it all the more special 🥰

Got tickets to the game!

 

Hung out with our wonderful family!

And celebrated the "hero" ❤️

What a special experience...

Creativity

I read an article recently on creativity and how we all have a need to be creative.  It's good for us in many ways, and you don't have to be good at something to try it!  Just find something you enjoy doing and keep at it.  Or keep trying new things until you find something you enjoy.  Have a great day!

🥰
