WOW -Wednesday

 I missed posting Monday.
Too tired from the busy-ness of last week.

This week was Daughters of Utah Pioneers and Quilt Guild here in Walla Walla  
I needed/wanted to make a couple Lotto Blocks.
Easy pattern found HERE

I didn't win all of the 18 blocks, Whew!
One less UFO in my Quilt Zone. 

These Pinwheel blocks have been hanging out.
Since February 2019 HERE
I took them on our trip to Utah.
Wendy let me use her machine to sew 4 
together to share at the Reunion. 
I didn't get to really share.  😕 

So here it is, what I was going to share.
Jenny's  Disappearing Pinwheel Baskets HERE
I did them in Reds and finished that Quilt.
I love the Pastels.
 Time to make it now so it's ready for Spring. 
The colors make me happy on a gloomy day!
Fall is NOT my favorite season. 
Everything dies!
I will miss my Pretty flowers.
The Begonias and Coleus are doing good!

I have to try and propagate a few to keep 
over the Winter. 
See the tiny roots growing??

I have the House to myself so I can Get Stitching.
Hubby mowed the Lawn. I did it last week. 

Happy Wednesday!
Whatcha making today?

Inspiration Everywhere

I forgot that I  promised more pictures from our Utah trip.  ENJOY!

Hotel in Cedar City
I love when Quilty patterns show up as ART!




Up high - Elevations over 10,000 feet



Panoramic Views in Bryce Canyon







Dear Hubby drove us to Escalante,  why??
The highway there was scary!
His Paternal Grandma taught school there.
Now he can say, Been there - Done that!


Looking for the Hole in the Rock we read about in Gerald Lund's book "Undaunted"





Oh how fascinating to see the Beauty in Nature!

WOW - Wednesday!

 

It's almost a Flimsy!
Stitching the Monday Blues away

 Eddie had a UFO Day on Monday at "Powered by Fabric"
Her design wall is unobstructed and she has a stool to climb up high. 
There were Pins in the wall left to be used to keep the block from falling off.
The longest rows I couldn't reach to put in a pin.

By 4pm it was all sewn together.
At home I tried it for size on my Queen sized bed.
Because I made my Sashings wider, it is BIG!
I Love it!!!!
Granddaughter asked if that was my bedroom floor, lol
Yes it is not cluttered there.

Couldn't get a Snow Picture so here it is on the Grass.

And hanging in my favorite place to take a Picture. 
Afternoon shadows and all.

Always time for a selfie with my Selfie Stick.

Now to trim those extra points off and put the borders on.
Then it's time for the Frosting!
Hope it will fit on my rails...

It's a Wednesday!
I will have the evening to play in the Basement.
What will I do all day??
Maybe Mow the Lawn, 
Haha, Hubby Can't do it.

2022 Mission Reunion - St George

 I've been gone and BUSY doing other things than Stitching.
President and Sister Johnson planned a Great Reunion for our Mormon Trail Mission.
It meant we had to drive 2 days to get there.
The first night we stayed with out friends in Spanish Fork.
I didn't get a picture with them. (SAD FACE)
I did get my Dole Whip!


On the way we stopped in Beaver to see the Family Statue that used to be at 
Kanesville Visitor's Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa

The Beaver Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum has it now.
It was closed on August 31st so we didn't get to go inside.

Here are our Famous Mission Leaders!

They gave all of us Senior couples this fun, cut metal design of our LOGO.


We had a fun evening together.
Talents shared and Yummy food, of course!

Saturday we went to the Mountain Meadows Memorial site.
There was a Tour Group there.
We learned a bit more about the Mountain Meadow Site.


We didn't get Tickets to go to Tuacahn, but we drove over to see it.
I love the Red hills!

Instead we went to a Heritage Choir Concert at the St George Tabernacle.
We were extra early so we got the Tour from a Young Service Missionary.


The choir filled the seats and were on both sides of the Balcony.
We were in the Balcony so my pictures aren't that good.


Special Guest Cellist KaWa Hu and a Men's Trio.
My VERY Favorite was the Medley the Organist and Pianist did with suggested Songs and Hymns.

This statue was on the grounds.
Erastus Fairbanks Snow - President of Cotton Mission - St George, Utah

We went all around and saw the Statue Garden nearby. 
I'll do another post with those Pictures.

The only picture I got with fellow Missionaries is this one at the Brigham Young Winter Home.
Schaub's and Crowther's

We learned about this building that Brigham built for Meeting with his apostles in St George.

We had been here before but Elder Ried did a great tour for us.

More pictures in the Next Post.

GiveAway happening tonight, it will be annouced on Monday's Post.
