Sewing, my passion!


I have been sewing since I was 11-12 years old. Sometimes I can't get enough. If I had to get out my house quickly, I would grab my sewing machines. ( I have 4 of them). Only within the last 4-5 years, I really have been into quilting. This is the first quilt that I have actually finished. My friend Martha, told me about "Saturday Sampler" at a local quilt shop. We go on the 2nd Saturday of the month, get our kit, and have a until the following month to put it together. We don't know what the quilt looks like for a year! So far I have really liked the quilts we have done.
Here is the Saturday Sampler quilt I finished this past July, "Americana".  My favorite so far.  We have started on the 3rd one, but won't know what it looks like until June of next year!
 I have made quilts for all my grandchildren.  Here is the most recent for Parley.  In this picture, I think he is about 2 months.  And do you notice the hair?  He has already had 2 haircuts.  He is 6 months old now.
This is a "toy holder" that I started making for my grandkids.  I have also made some for a baby gift and I did 3 for a woman in my ward for her  grandkids.  So if you are interested, give me a call and we can talk.

A Great Walk Ruined By A Little White Ball



Had a day off and went to Hobble Creek to play golf, this is one of the best public golf courses I have played. One of the reasons I wanted to move to this area. Along with the fishing. The turkeys live on the east end of the course.
