Monday -no Design wall

I have found a bit of time to stitch on my Quiltville Mystery. 

I am so glad I followed directions and put things in sets, Bonnie knows best!

It has gone fairly easy. 

Using lots of pins to keep the points 

right where I want them.

1st block laid out.

I stacked up a few one evening after

 Elder Crowther went to sleep. 

Then I cut a bunch of Neutral squares to go with each block. 

They're scrappy in the blocks below.

Almost 1/2 way there.

I love seeing this progress.

The blocks need a good pressing.

Next is Sashings, as I make the Side Setting & Corner Blocks.

There was a bit of Frogging...

With pins, the points go so much easier.  

Thanks, Lynn W, for making me pin!!

I will get to be heavily involved in the

 Quilt Show here in September. 

I will try to have Frolic and maybe one other Quilt finished by then. 

Even if I have to pay for quilting by check.

Some Snowy days, I do get up and go help Elder Crowther remove Snow over at

Kanesville Tabernacle. 

If you haven't tried the relativefinder APP, Here are the steps.

Sunday, we both wrote letters & sent them.

Sorry, if you got 2, I am getting old!

Hope you are all getting your Stitches in...

Wednesday - WOW- From Nebraska

WOW it's been a while since I blogged.

We have been here in Nebraska 3 days now.

Nebraska Sunrise Sunday Morning!

I has snowed a bit, Freezing Rain is in the forecast.

Zoom in and you can see the Winter Quarters Temple.

This is from the Mormon Trails Center window.

We are oh, so close!!!

The Basement apartment is mostly set up.

It is feeling more homey every day.

They said to bring some things to decorate. 

My Mini from Janet O came along as well as my Wedding Quilt.

We are learning our Duties and soon it will be on us to do the Facilities Maintenance.

I love that we can walk where our Pioneers walked.

In one display case it tells about Patty Sessions.

She is my 3rd Great Grandma on my Moms side.

Her roll was to be the Midwife, she helped many bring new little ones into the World.

Some made it, some didn't...

She delivered the 1st baby in the Salt Lake Valley, if I remember right.

It's been awhile since I read her Journal Book.

It's almost my Birthday!

I was born just barely into the 15th of January.

(about 2 am)

My grand children who wrote letters to me already knew how old I'll be.

Ya, Rub it in, I earned every year.

63 and counting.

This was me on Monday after buying out the Grocery Store, lol

I only forgot a couple things.

I'm grateful for the prayers and storms that didn't keep us off the roads to get here.

We were happy to only have one stretch of bad roads.

We drove it in Daylight so it was a little better than in the dark.

Knowing when to stop and rest was Paul's doing.

He drove all the way.

My knees were up against the Glove Compartment.

Tight squeeze to get all the stuff I packed in Vacuum bags and our suit cases in.

The vacuum in the bags didn't last.

Some leaked air, or were torn in the process.

Maybe it was the cold.

Note to self: Get the thicker Vacuum bags.

 I have to get to sleep now, going to see the Kanesville Tabernacle Wednesday,

 so I'll say goodnight to my Blogging friends 

and those who will read this from Facebook when I link it.

Love and miss you all!

 HUGS!!
