Who ends school on a Thursday, anyway?


Well, it turns out that Josh's last day of school was Thursday, not Friday, so I did not finish Mrs. Hargrave's quilt!  Oh well....  So, here she is with her almost completed quilt.  I will finish and return it to her next week when I go to help her move her classroom.  We love you Mrs. Hargrave!

It's a Quilting Emergency!

Well, I have just spent a wonderful day quilting.  Josh has his last day of school on Friday, and darn it, I am determined that Mrs. Hargrave is getting a quilt from me!  She has been the most wonderful teacher ever and Josh has been lucky to be with her this past 2 years.  My daughter Rachel also got to be with Mrs. Hargrave during her 1st and 2nd grade years.  She is the GREATEST teacher ever! I have been planning her quilt for a long time...picked the fabrics from my stash some time ago.  But with all the stuff happening...my mom's home was destroyed by a tornado...Candice graduated from college...Spring Quilt Market....life!  I just haven't gotten the quilt finished.  Well, I am counting down....5 days to go.  Let's see how I do! Here's how far I got today...

Gallery in Red II by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics is Here!


Finally, a few minutes to add some more notes here about the wonderful things we saw at Spring Quilt Market!  First of all, we bought Gallery in Red II by Faye Burgos at Marcus Fabrics.  It arrived yesterday! We have the entire fabric collection, plus we are cutting fat quarter bundles.  It is a really pretty red & white fabric collection, and I just love redwork quilts and red and white quilts!  Did any of you get to see that breathtaking red and white quilt show that was held recently in NYC?  I will try to find the link to the phots of that and post them here as well.  Meanwhile, here is a couple of photos of the quilts displayed at Spring Quilt Market using the Gallery in Red II fabrics.  I hope you enjoy!

We are back from Spring Quilt Market! What a great time! David and I just love Salt Lake City....we love driving around the mountains to see all of the breathtaking views! This year we drove north and into Wyoming, then over the mountains north of Ogden. It was spectacular! This is Bear Lake. The photo can't do it justice!
