More, More, More

This quilt won best use of color.

The piecing in the middle of this quilt is teeny tiny.
For a circle bed.


This another log cabin quilt




I never did figure out how they did this. Some of it is folded so it has a 3D effect.




Amazing





This women had been on a mission to Russia. This was a queen size quilt.




Just for fun.




These blocks were machine embroidered. Very beautiful.


I have one more post to make. I have enjoyed sharing these pictures with you.

Thanks for the photos. I love going to quilt shows (although Martha has lost her enthusiasm for them and quilting in general). I particularly like the one extreme of quilted "pictures" and the other extreme of single color or very little piecing and lots of decorative quilting.
The Best of Show at the Utah County Fair was a "picture" quilt with a Christmas theme, wise men, nativity, and something I interpreted as Samuel the Lamanite, but hey this is Utah County. Any way, it was in fact a beautiful, complex quilt and I wish I had had a camera. There was also a queen-size quilting-only entry that had some absolutely gorgeous patterns in it.

I love my morning walks this time of year. I tend to focus on the beauty  Because we all know that when Winter comes, I'll be whining. Had a beautiful day at Redfish .. Picnic and lake time.  And to finish up this post, it's my anniversary. To be honest, this has been a really hard year. I am working very hard on not correcting the things that Wes says. He is often confused and his problem solving skills are declining.  My other problem comes when we are around people in the stake and he's always walking up to people (who are apparently Bishops) and saying, ' Hello Bishop'.

Harvest Blessings

I love the end of Summer with its beautiful harvests.  The smell of soup that fills the kitchen. I spent most of yesterday making tomato soup for grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners this Winter.  I'm so grateful that my neighbor gifted me the tomatoes and fresh onions were available at the Farmers Market. This simple recipe is 100% nutrious and delicious.  I freeze the soup in 3 cup portions. It's what Wes uses to cook dinner once a week. I did think that it was a lot of work so that Wes could think he cooked dinner, more than once yesterday.  Love living in Idaho.... Harvest Blessings.... Good day...

The Summer of $50 Picnic

I love a picnic, but this year has been pricey. Some of these picnic were for two and others for more. They were all the best. Eaten in the mountains or by the sea, they were all enjoyable.  Wood River picnic area. Johnson Lake in Canada  Crab sandwiches in Bodega in California.... Challis Idaho  Redfish Lake Idaho. What a beautiful way to spend the Summer. Sandwiches and cookies, blue skies and good company.  Not ready for Fall.... Happy Summer Days.....
