Lone Star

Coming up in February I will get to go to the Ruby's Inn Quilt Retreat at Bryce Canyon. This will be my 5th year attending this retreat. I absolutely LOVE going. This year I have only signed up to make two quilts and am hoping to work on some from previous years that I have not completed.


This is a picture of my Lone Star quilt that I made last year. The class was taught by Linda Walters and I love the fabrics in it.



Valentine Table Runners


These are the table runners that I made for my Bunco group. I thought they turned out pretty cute. I also did a wall hanging from a cheater panel and another table topper from reds and white that I had in my stash.

I hope that the winners like them 'cause I think they are pretty cute.

January

Well, it's almost time to put away the snowmen and get out the Valentine stuff. I have always LOVED Valentine's Day. I think it all started when I was little and my mom sent me around the neighborhood delivering invitations to my birthday party that were done on lace paper doilies. I had to be around five years old because we lived in the little white house on 200 West in Lehi.

I love Valentine Sugar cookies. They're pretty good all year round, but it wouldn't be Valentine's Day without some sugar cookies. And ya know, the chocolate that abounds at this time of year isn't too bad either.

The combination of the cookies, the chocolate and my birthday must make it why Valentine's Day is just sooooo wonderful.

I'm pretty excited because this month is my month to host Bunco at my house. I am excited to show all my "Girlie" friends my newly remodeled basement as well as all my Valentine stuff. I have been busy making the prizes that I hope the ladies will like. Check out the pictures.
