It's FriYay

 I have a Quilt on the Q20 that needs to get DONE!
The RWB Double Wedding Ring Quilt is next. 
Janessa said that I should finish it while they were on the Honeymoon. Ha ha ha

Sew many Quilts, Sew little time.
The RBD finishing instructions are printed. 
I think I have a few more blocks to make.
Like about 10 more.

I need a month at HOME!
With no distractions. 

It's a Graduation week.
One Graduated last night in Wyoming. 
Thankful I was home to watch on my phone.
Same School colors that I had.
Stay Gold!

Two more that Graduate this week on the same day,
We'll see if Grandpa can go for a long ride.

Wow-Wednesday

It's Wednesday after the Wedding. 
A few sneak peeks came from the Photographer. 
Fun to see all of them. 
I took a few just for me.
Actually,  Dan's mom took this one.

A selfie with DD#1

Going to meet the Groom for a first look of the dresses. I made the 2 girl's dresses.
Elizabeth made Janessa's


Olivia played her violin while Jackson and Jacob walked their mom down the aisle. 

Janessa's veil blew off during the ceremony. 
Jacob picked it up.
The dresses and bowties turned out just right.

Mr and Mrs Lockart!

I had to screenshot this one. 
Janessa with her Dad and Dan.
 NaDell took it.

It was a beautiful day,  I gained a new Son and 3 grandchildren in the Wedding. 
I've never seen my daughter so happy.

Now it's time to get back to the Wedding Quilt. 

Whatcha Working on??

Monday Travels

 My Sister went with me on my Pilgramge today.
 Pictures loaded in reverse.
Last stop before a late lunch was near Mesa

We stopped in by Warden to see our Brother's 
Headstone

Gordon's parents are buried not too far 
from our parents 

The selfie stick didn't work. 
So individual photos. 

As long as I can, and I have roses, I will go!

Now it's raining in Walla Walla. 

Memorial Day 2026 is done, time for a nap.

Hurray, it's FriYay!

 It's the day we've waited for.
So much preparation that is coming to pass.
We had a girls day at the nail spa.
My 2 girls!
We were going to get a picture together, we forgot!

More pictures today! 
The setting up went smoothly.
Gotta wipe down the chairs today.

I tried curling my hair with like 
my momma used to do.
Ringlets like Shirley Temple. 
Not 56, not perfect.
But it was fun to try.

Happy FriYay!

It's a Wednesday!
Getting things done for the Wedding. 
2 of the 4 Bowties, Done!
Before Breakfast.

This morning we went to Maple Counter. 
That's 3 time in a week for us. 
Yummy stuff! 
Jeff , Chey and Naomi flew in last night. 
Cheyanne loves Maple Counter!

 Made the Dress for Gracelyn last night.
Just needs facing and hemming on both. 
Ellie's is back together. Hope it fits this time.

I collected roses at Joe's. 
They smell so, so good!
For a petal path by the Arch.

Went to our new Natural Foods Store 
Grand Opening.
The line went down every row!
5 checkouts.

The freebies they passed out to keep us hydrated and happy.
Nice to have a new store here.
Still can't wait for Winco!
Could be working on the Wedding Quilt...
It's Grandmas time to play!

Whatcha Working on?

Happy Monday

The weekend started with these 2 friends 
We had Big Cheese Pizza and then went to the Movie "The Devil Wears Prada 2"
It's been awhile!

Saturday was DD#2 Bridal Shower with her friends. And a few family members. 
Had to get a picture of my girls with the new 
Great Grandbaby. 

She opened my gift first so we could get to our friend luncheon. 
The picture from EQ.

I stitched a few blocks so she could see the pattern. 
She said it looked like a Heart ❤️


A 4 Generation Picture of us!

It was a breakfast only day at Maple Counter 
Frontier Skillet sounded good with no egg.

These ladies joined is!
Mostly from the old 3rd ward.

I could go to sleep without sewing more blocks
Just a few more to make and it will be a Flimsy.
I'm getting there.
I see a block that needs to be moved, uh oh!
Another busy week with a celebration at the end.
Almost all our children are coming home
for their little sister.
This May is ending on a Happy Mom time!

It's a FriYay afternoon

 I have something, not Quilty, under my needle. Today is one week before the Wedding. 
Time at home finally. 


I found the bow tie pattern too! 
So blessed, I thought of where else to look.
And there it was.

Lilies!

I planted 2 Early Girl Tomatoes 


And one Green Pepper!

My friend ordered me a bag for my Featherweight.
It's just right for the whole box. 

Happy FriYay!

Wow-Wednesday lots of pictures...

 It's almost been a week already. 
                  Sorry I  haven't had time to post
Sunday was Mother's Day. 
Janessa made me a wrist Corsage.

Purple by the Purple Rhododendron 💜 

The family gave Janessa the job of getting me Flowers and Chocolate. 
Elizabeth and Michael made me a Hot Pad.
NaDell and family gave me a Diamond Art 
of a Sewing Machine.
Never done that, might need a lesson, lol.

Monday was Daughters of Utah Pioneers meeting 
at My house. 


Last night was the Trunk Show at Walla Walla Valley Quilt Guild with Lori of Humble Quilts.
I first met her at Sister's Qutdoor Quilt Show. 

We met up at Stash and visited at Powered by Fabric and checked her into her hotel. Then went to WW Sew n Vac, and had El Sombero for dinner.
I enlisted these two for Quilt Wraglers.

Lori showing the one block in the corner that she had to make similar to finish this Quilt
"Jill's Jewelbox"

"Shenandoah Stars"


This one inspired a  Blog Sew-Along.

Dear Jane took 13 years.


This one was a challenge with friends. 
They did the borders first, smart!!


Sorry for my bad photography...
It was a Fun night.
