Flying, Family, Fabric, Fun, Finished!

It was a must! A little trip to Utah to visit my mom. I FLEW ...just a little break from the Arizona heat and a chance to visit my favorite quilt shops! That works!

I had a great time in Utah these past few days. I had a chance to spend some time with my Mom and FAMILY. I think I wore Mom out! She looked pretty tired today when I left. I don't think she is use to the chaos that comes with visitors. Although we spent a lot of down time....we did our fair share of running. We took a day and went fabric hunting....my favorite! We ended up at "Material Girls", a fabulous shop in Riverton (I think). Oh my gosh....it was so FUN! Of course we found a pattern and FABRIC for our next get-together in October.

"The Shopping Queens"

Lunch is a must. We stopped at Kneaders and had a great sandwich. We all got desserts to taste. They had some pretty tasty things. Since we have all started to blog.....we are always taking pictures! Linda is always trying to out do me!!!! You know it's true!!!!

"Lunching"

I had the chance to help Mom make a quilt she has been wanting to do. She is really getting the hang of this quilting thing. We almost finished the blocks. She has one more set to do. She will have to post a picture of her finished project. I am waiting Mom...... Cari is also doing the quilt thing. I took some time and helped her get a few things done to finish up a couple of quilts she is working on. Plus......look at this cute little girl...Cari's youngest Halie. She is a doll! Cari had to help Linda put up some signs for their upcoming Garage Sale (you guys are so funny) so I took Halie to lunch with me. She is a sweetie. (Actually, how do you spell her name?)

Ohhhhh so cute!

Cari is keeping up with us!

Okay....now for the drum roll......I FINISHED two quilts while in Utah. Both of them were quilts that I did with my sisters. Yes, I am working on all those unfinished projects! I left them up in Utah with a new quilter my sister found. I am anxious to get them back.

"Block Party"




"Flutterby"

So....on to the next quilt project in October....as Linda put it......Yipee!

I don't know what I am more jealous about...the sight of jackets or the lunching & fun. I'll take both please.

That looks really fun!!!! Any chance to escape the reality of phone calls, bills, dinner-making, running around, etc, etc is so WORTH IT!!!

Can't wait to see the finished quilts!

Love the label and back of Flutterby! I'm jealous of many things, but mostly that your sisters are all in agreement on taking the time to do this together. What wonderful memories, aaaaaah!
