Our Service Quilts are finished... on to the blankets!

I finally got the other two full service quilts bound and finished!! All four of them along with a couple of receiving blankets were dropped off this week heading for the LDS Humanitarian Department with the hopes that they will bless the lives of others somewhere. Again thanks to friends and family who donated your time to help me tie them all and share in the joy of service. I do need to apologize that I don't have pictures of the final products to put up. I got so excited about getting them dropped off that I didn't remember the photos until they were boxed up and taped shut. Next time I will have to take pictures of the process too so you can all see yourselves.

On to my next service projects. I still have about twenty more receiving blankets I hope to sew and have donated by Thanksgiving and if everything goes well with my website and Etsy shop, I'll be able to buy more for next year's donations!

Camping and Fishing Trip

We went camping with my family and got to tryout fishing again with the girls... we had more success this time!

Saturday with Daddy!

This last saturday Daddy and the girls had the day out while I went and worked for a friend at a local boutique. They went to the Bean Museum to see the elephant displayed there and had so much fun. They also went to feed the ducks on campus.

My New Projects!

NEW! - The ultimate rag quilt!

So I designed this quilt to use some of the smaller fabric pieces I have

and it is definitely a favorite of mine. I had fun designing the large embroidered flowers

and used them in the large squares to keep the fabric in place instead of the traditional X.

I love how my pattern turned out so much that I might just have to make more...

at least a boy version!

Two of our finished service quilts to donate to the LDS Humanitarian Services!

The bear one is a crib size quilt and the moon one a single (72x90)!
