One UFO down.....


(above: this is what the back looks like)


I finally finished my cowboy quilt. I worked on it all summer. It is done! Now this bad boy's going to the fair this year. I really love Adam the show "Bonanza". So I found a pattern for a picture quilt and I printed out pictures of the actors in Bonanza from the internet. I printed the pictures on photo transfer paper and I ironed them on white material. When it was time mom helped with quilting it in a squiggly pattern and then I bound it. I added a label and it's done! Now I can enjoy it on my bed and hug it without jabbing needles.

Great Grandma L



This past week had been pretty crazy. Last week my great grandma L died. She was a wonderful women and even that's not enough words to express how we felt about her. She will be GREATLY missed. My dad got to work on her after she past away and it was such a blessing. She looked so good. On the weekend we went to Idaho and went to the funeral. I met family that I never met but only heard about. I know everyone now. She had 4 sons, 13 grandkids and 31 greatgrandkids. The service was held at the baptist church that she went to. It was very nice. My mom read things that we will always remember her by. Here are a few things I will never forget....Almost everytime I saw her she had her cane. She had a quick mind and even told us stories of when our mother's were little little. She taught me and my sister how to crochet. She made everyone feel important. Whenever we would leave her house before we left we would get a kiss, a hug and a "Grandma loves you". She loved the Lord and always had faith in prayer. She did a lot of prayer chains. I also remember coming into her kitchen and she would show us her latest Angel Food Cake she made and would show us the pan she made it in and how it worked. I loved it. I am so thankful that I had her in my life.
