Not Moving much Monday!

I've put off my Blog long enough

I know the linky's have changed

Not doing them now.

The Snow hasn't stopped much since late Saturday night.

Compacted, piled up and covering everything.

The best little surprised that I found in my Mailbox after our Temple day...

My Swap Mini from Janet Olsen.

She's the Best!

I couldn't resist trying on the Socks.

I have decided I need lessons -Mini making.

My mini was just under the size of my

18"design board.

She should receive it Tuesday.

Then I can share it here.

Stay warm if you're surrounded like me.

The Olsen's and the Crowther's meet face to face for the first time at Texas Roadhouse in Bountiful. Janet and I have been visiting via our Blogs and E-mail since July. Visiting we find that we were at Ricks' College the same year before Paul and I were married. I lived in the Dorms and she lived in an Apartment complex that some of my Moses Lake girlfriends lived in. 36 years later we get acquainted.

I mailed her a postcard for the Book signing and she asked her husband to bring her to meet me in Bountiful for the event. We celebrated our Anniversary and she celebrated her Birthday early. We have a couple of Keepers! They visited upstairs for the hour and a half while we listened to Jennifer.

Jennifer reads an excerpt from The Wedding Quilt

We didn't get to sit on the front row. There were a few ladies ahead of us in line when we arrived at the Davis County Library. Janet's Husband was ushered downstairs when he came in and he saved us a place to sit. The quilts on display are from some of the employees of the library. I heard a count of 160! She said we were the largest and happiest crowd next to her hometown.

I wore my collection of pins from Jennifer with my Quilt Guild Name tag that I wear each month.

Jennifer signed all the books I brought to have signed and a few magazines as well. She even mentioned Walla Walla in her speaking and answering questions time. Her mother Geraldine came with her again. I showed my SBS to the Library ladies and had to sign a release form so they can use my pictures. I think I was the person who traveled the furthest.

Mary Brown Crowther and Janet Kidd Olsen

I am so glad I had the chance to go to Utah so we could meet each other in 'real life"

I had to talk really nice to get Paul to stop at Ellen Bailey's on our way out of town. He said I could only stay 10 minutes! That was long enough to show her My SBS and get the paper she saved for me and take this picture. We were a bit too early to see Nick and Amy's two daughters who come and play at Grandma's on Friday.
