Finished Quilts

We returned home from Utah on Thursday evening.  After dinner and putting the kids to bed, I went right to work on finishing the baby quilts.  I am happy with how they turned out. The baby shower was on Friday night at 7:00, and I finished them at about 5:45.  I had a lot o fun making them.  My friend is having twin boys, and they will be babies 7 and 8 for the family.  I was able to have the oldest five come over one afternoon to secretly  each make a quilt block for the quilts.  I thought it would be special to have all the siblings have a part in it.  I took pictures of each of them with their quilt block to give to their mom. ( I won't be posting them)  

I forgot to take pictures of the backs to show how I chose to quilt them.  I'll go to their house to take some, and post them later. 

I chose the Log Cabin block because it is fast and simple, but looks nice.

The quilt backings are both a nice warn and thick flannel.  

Panguitch, Utah

My good friend, Suzette, is from Panguitch, Utah.  She and her family go there every summer, and this year she invited us to come up, too.  We had a great time.  I love Panguitch.  It is a friendly little town with good hard working people.  I would live there if it didn't get incredibly cold in the winter.  I really am used to the heat and lack of snow we have here.  We were able to stay with Suzette's very generous Aunt Julie.  She opened her home and yard to us, and made us feel very welcome.  While there, I was able to take some time to work on some baby quilts for another friend who is having twin boys at the end of the summer.  The kids and I also stopped at the Glen Canyon Dam by Lake Powell on our way home.  I have to say the scenery was beautiful pretty much the entire drive.  The kids did well in the car too, even with a broken DVD player.  We listened to a lot of music.

This is Michael with Suzette's grandpa.  Michael loves this man, and was sad to have to leave him.

He had fun driving the Jazzy scooter.

Almost finished quilt tops.  Suzette picked out the mistake for me to re-sew.

Beautiful and amazing. 

Our Heavenly Father certainly made a beautiful world for us to live in.

Three shots and nobody smiled at the camera.
