Finally, back to Quilting

 

 While I seem to be quilting all the time, little seems to be getting finished.  I completed a couple of baby quilts that went off to the up coming Festival of Trees for a local children's hospital charity, but very little else.  I did, however, just finish the piece above (last night) and am working on the hexagon quilt below.  Kim I really am doing my quilting and now that I am finished making 300 paper covered books for my quilt group next year, I am back to the machine.



The top one was really fun to do.  It measures 14 1/2 by 17 inches.  I used English paper piecing for the hexagons using left over Japanese fabric from another project I need to quilt (!) and tacked it to a quilt sandwich I machine quilted a grid on.  It worked out pretty much as I had hoped.  The one on the right is a work in progress, but my thinking is that it will look wonderful on a little girl's twin bed.  Now I just have to figure out which little girl.  I have a feeling that there will be three more in my future.

Brighton Ski Resort

 

 From these photos you wouldn't suspect that the ski season is right around the corner, but winter is on it's way.  We have a number of fantastic ski resorts up the canyons from Salt Lake City and Roger's favorite one is Brighton at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. 

Home Leave to the UK & France

So, this is our new house, shown from the lake.
