Starting a new small quilt

Oh It is Bright, but oh how fun!

My Friend Pam helped me

to put together this fun flower Quilt.

The fabrics are Moda from Sew Inspirational

Quilt Store here in Nauvoo.

The blocks are 12 X 12 with

8 inch flowers and puffy centers.

The piano key borders are 2 inches.

It is so cute!

Quilt for Howard Barlow

I wanted to make a gift for my Father-in-law,

and decided on tying a comfy lap quilt to keep

him warm. It is made of Moda Flannels are made

to look like old wool suits. The designs were neat!

for a look that was masculine, but comfortable.

My friend Pam was instrumental in helping me

get this quilt togther, since our family

was leaving to Utah within the week.

She is a good friend, and an awesome quilter.

Panama City White Beaches

This year for Christmas our family went to Panama White Beaches! It was a great time for all of us to spend some time together, and have fun at the beach. The weather was in the 60's, and although we would of liked it to be warmer, we weren't complaining--the weather in Nauvoo was around "O" BRRRrrrrrr.

Here is where we stayed.

Our suite was up on the 25th floor and the gulf view was incredible. It was amazing to listen to, and watch the waves.

Our Suite, was really "Sweet"

We had....Waves of Fun!

Sunshine + Sand castles + Volleyball

+ Waves = A good afternoon!
