My Honey Spoils Me!

Got these beautiful flowers today. So many flowers that I had to put them in 2 vases!
 
It was a big surprise since he had already brought these home for me a few days ago "just because".
 
And he gave these to me 2 days ago. I love the Creme Brulee scent of these Beanie Melts! Reminds me of caramel corn. Oh yummy! Which means I'm hungry and need to go get ready for date night tonight. Dinner and Iron Man 2. Has anyone seen it?

HMQS-Sandy, Utah

I was one of the lucky winners of Barbara Jones' generous give away of 2 free tickets to attend the Home Machine Quilt Show in Utah this weekend. If you have the opportunity to attend, do it! If I lived closer, I would go back!  The quilts are just amazing! So overwhelming to see each beauty.
Hate to show this pic since I just got my hair cut super short (and what a silly smile) so it would be the right length for when I pick up my missionary son in 3 1/2 weeks in Nashville.  (Who's counting????) But with me is Barbara Jones of Quilt Soup fame.  I LOVE her patterns!
And in no particular order but how I walked down the aisles, here are some of the beauties we saw.  I don't think these are quilts that you can just whip up in a week.  :)








Will show some more tomorrow.

Sometimes they come home disappointing.

I usually love the ladies that quilt my quilts. This time I was in shock when I unfolded it and saw this quilt quilted in red. I usually tell the quilters to work their magic. This time it fell short with the red squigglies in the stars. Sigh.

Some time away from home.....

Have been spending some much needed time away from home at our cabin.  A couple of days were spent sewing.  I finished up more of the Buggy Barn Convoy blocks.  Need to still applique the wheels on the trucks plus add the front ends to the tractors.
Middle child worked on her Buggy Barn Crazy Sails.  Got it all done too!  I really love the colors of fabric she used!
Next border for the Patchwork Posse Round Robin.  Still need to sew it to the rest of the top.
Daughter's coupon purse.
Inside look so you can see her handmade organizers.
Wouldn't you know it....we got lots of this again!  About 6-8" fell while we were there.
The start of the snowfall.
There was a day that the sun came out and middle child had to get some sun!  Brrrr!

Was pretty funny to look up one day while sewing and find middle child doing this to her frozen strawberries.


Am now home and ready to finish some more projects!

Round Robin Quilt Along

I am finally catching up on the Round Robin quilt. While my daughter sewed her various projects on Tuesday, I sewed on this. Am now working on the next 2 sides. I am loving the colors from the fabrics. Not what I usually use, which is funny since I am the one who bought it.  I think it has sat in the cupboard because of all the orange but now I love the orange color!  The fabric is Serendipity by Piece O' Cake Designs for P&B Textiles. Date is 2006. Hey! It's getting used up from my stash! Yea!
Can you see my snow on my porch?  It snowed all day on Wednesday!
