The Football Team
This summer I have made two custom quilts. The first was for Felicia in New Hampshire. She was born on the 4th of July and loves anything Americana…
The second quilt was for Hanan in California. She dropped by Farmers Market in the early summer, saw some of my quilt tops and wanted me to make a quilt for her. Her quilt included a pillow tuck. This was my first Lone Star and honestly, I think it is one of the easiest quilts to make!
Mike has spent DAYS, probably 8-10 so far, and probably 5-6 hours at a time, digging up this soil by hand so that we can plant grass on the east side of the house. We have patches of grass, that have grown intermittently when we planted the last two years. The saying states, “Third Time is the Charm?” We are hoping so!
Don’t you love the hat? We bought it last week while we were on vacation. I wish we would have bought me a hat too!
If you’d like to pray for our grass to grow. We’d both appreciate it!
I finished my “Challenge” quilt this week. The Grayson Country Quilters had a ‘Challenge’ quilt that members have been working on the past eight months. I finished mine up early, after I found the right backing for this quilt.
It’s now on display at the Blanding Visitors Center. (Don’t be impressed. Lots of quilts are displayed their for a couple of months, from the second story loft. I’ve had other quilt there as well.)
This was supposed to be more of a close-up!
Mike and I went on a little Utah Vacation. We drove Highway 95 over to Richfield, went to Fish Lake, met my parents in Price for lunch, and returned home. We were gone six days!

Capitol Reef National Park- Goosenecks of Sulpher Springs
Lyman, Utah – where my grandfather lived for a few years.
Richfield, Utah… This [sleeping] is what we did for much of our trip!
The view from our FIRST cabin. (We saw mice, and Fish Lake graciously upgraded us to a much newer cabin with no mice!)
Moving rocks, on our drive to the Lower Box Creek Reservoir
Fishing at Lower Box Creek Reservoir
I CAUGHT A FISH!!! The only catch of our entire trip!
Pelicans on Johnson Reservoir – 3 miles from Fish Lake
We rented a boat and went fishing on the East side of Fish Lake.
Eagle’s nest…
You can’t tell from this photo, but I was the ‘skipper’ of this trip. I drove the boat the entire time and LOVED IT! (Once again, a dream/desire fulfilled!) I want to drive again!
Thursday, Mike and I drove to Price. We went shopping at Walmart, went to the library to check email, took a nap, went out Thursday evening to a free concert at the Peace Park. We had such a nice evening. On Friday, we met my parents in Price for lunch. It was great. I wanted a picture, but of course, the battery was low, thus no picture. We ate at Groggs. The food is wonderful and I am already ready for a return trip!
