Anyone want some help!

I had decided that I would sew a new pair of pants. Mischief decided he would help me. As you can see he was not much help.

Up to Lately.....

Can you believe this is a quilt!



I know it has been a while since I posted something. I have been busy working. I got to work at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach. It was very busy,the show opened at 10am and closed at 7pm. My boss let me leave around 5pm. I got to look around.

Back to being a working woman

Alot has changed this year. I had been trying to figure where I want to go and look for a job. I didn't want to go back to grooming, I miss working with the dogs but I don't miss the headaches around the holidays. It took me a while to really get into the holiday spirit when I quit work. So last week a friend of ours mentioned that his sister was looking for someone to help her at her shop. She need someone to fulfill orders and some bookeeping. She ownes a quilt shop and does mostly shows but need a person look after things while she is gone. I met with her and got hired for the job. It is only part time which is ok. I am so excited.

How Can I Be

2nd Annual Ugly Fabric Challenge

Well I thought I would try the Ugly Fabric Contest again. It was fun. This time I decided to make a pillow. Would you believe I won a gift card for the novelty category. I did not take any pictures. But my pillow is being displayed at the store for a month and can be seen on the website. The quilt that won for its category is done in the same fabric as mine. So different. The overall winner's quilt was very pretty.
2nd Annual Ugly Fabric Challenge

Well it has been a while. Our lives have been crazy since the last part of the year to the current. We both had surgery. Darryl in Jan and I had surgery in March. Darryl has been trying to catch up with work and I have been helping him there. Our callings keep us busy. Darryl is still Stake Clerk. I got a new calling in Dec. I am the First Counselor in Primary now. That means more sharing times. When I was secretary I only had to do it when someone wasn't able. But thats ok. I am glad to be able to still be in primary and work with the kids.

Things have been busy lately and have had a lot of things happen. On Sept 18th we had our 5th anniversary. On the 27th we had a new Bishop put in at our ward. I missed the last change as I was on my honeymoon. The bishop at that time was put in the day after we were married. I have been busy working on quilts and trying to get them done before the deadlines. That have been set. My brother-in-law sent pictures of his son on his mission in Finland and he apparently he got to see Santa and give him a Book of Mormon. You can see the picture here.
