Home Again!!

Hi Everyone! I've missed you! It was exactly 4 weeks that we were gone. That's a LONG time! This was the first extended trip that we took in our motorhome since Mom died last August and we had a great time.

We had a chance to "see how the other half lived" when we stayed at a Motorcoach Resort in Las Vegas. It was beautiful! The lots there are owned by others and can be rented by peons like us. Some of them were so elaborate it was amazing! Here's a few pics to get the idea....



Then on to St. George where I got to see all my blogger friends that I talked about in the last posting. While I was having fun with them, Bill thought he'd died and gone to heaven at the golf course where our friends Nick and Mary took him to play. Nothing like a desert golf course....

We'd never been to Zion National Park and enjoyed a day there. On our way home we drove up to a meadow at the top of a mountain and saw these:

And on our way back down these cuties were waiting for us in the middle of the road....

On our way home, we got stuck in Williams, AZ waiting for weather to pass. They had wind gusts up to 70 mph and closed I-40! Here's what it looked like...

So that's the trip in a nutshell! Now back to work and get something done. I think some of the girls showed you a sneak peek of my new quilt, but here's a quick look if you didn't see it. Obviously it's not sewn together yet...

Hope you're having a great week! Blessings~

An Afternoon With Some of Your Favorite Blog Stars!!

I had the most wonderful day on Friday. Bill and I are in St. George, UT and just happened to be here at the same time that Nanette, Sherri, Dawn, Lori, RaeAnn, and Nedra were getting together for a retreat! Nanette's sisters Michelle and Paula also joined them. Nanette and I stayed in touch and I was able to visit them at the cutest quilt shop while they sewed. I was just STAR STRUCK at getting to meet all these fabulous bloggers all at once!! Lori was teaching her new pattern "Eat Cake" and she is a great teacher! These gals are so talented and have so much to offer. They are also some of the most generous and sweetest people I've ever met. I'll treasure it always. Here are a few pics showing the good time that was had by everyone, me especially!

Here is a pic of everyone there..... from left to right Paula, Michelle, Rae Ann, Me, Dawn, Sherri, Nanette, Nedra, and Lori.

I no more than got in the door and they started showering me with gifts! I told you they were generous! I love them all!!

Needless to say, it was a fabulous afternoon and I was thrilled to get to meet these gals in person after having visited through blogs for so long. I consider myself very, very blessed~

Vintage Quilt Top #3

This is the next quilt top I have to show you. A vintage 1930's Double Wedding Ring with "That Green" in the background. It is just wonderful! Enjoy!

Another Wonderful Old Quilt Top!

Well, I've listed another top on eBay that I thought you might enjoy seeing! It's pretty hard to part with these, but I know I have to eventually! This one is a Log Cabin from the mid to late 1800's. Gorgeous graphics! It's about 60" square which would be perfect for hanging! I know someone will give it a good home.

OK-- I'm such a dweeb! I just now noticed that I had several followers on my profile so I've added it to my sidebar. So please add yourself if you're interested!

Wonderful Quilt Top and My Kid's New Blog!

Good Morning! I have decided to go through my vintage quilts and tops, etc. to see what I can part with. You've seen my room. You know I HAVE to do this!

Anyway, here's the first one I decided to sell. It is amazing! I'm actually selling it because there's not a lot that has to be done to it. I'm yearning to get back to rescuing and giving re-life to those old things that can't be used at all as they are. This is what I first did when I started this business and the thing that most feeds my soul. I'll share some of those with you later. Today I just want you to enjoy this wonderful piece while you can.....

In other news--- My kid is now a blogger! If you knew anything about my wonderful child, you would be as stunned as I am. Anyway, she has a recipe blog. She was a highly successful Pampered Chef consultant for 5 years (which is another shock in itself! Not the successful part, but the cooking part!) and had to give it up to spend more time with Cameron and his sporting endeavors. OK-- they're partly his Mom and Dad's sporting endeavors, too. She has tons of quick and easy excellent Pampered Chef type recipes. Check out sportsmomcooks and see what you think! I just looked at it right now and she has a memorial to my Mom out there. Makes me want to cry......

Blessings~
