Merry Christmas

1986 Emily and Jennie in the red velevet
dresses that I made.

2006 Autumn and Prairie in the red dresses that I made in 1987 that were worn by their mother and aunt.







During the last sewing class in December I offer a craft project to each the the sewing students to make. In the past couple of years there has been a Santa Claus, Snowman, & Christmas tree. This year I designed the Angel for the craft project. They were a big hit. The students had a good time making them. Some students opted to make the other figures, but the Angel was by far the post popular.



This year for the workers on our Friday shift in
the Manhattan Temple I made braided sweet rolls and…
Tom and I made these mice to give to the workers to express
our thanks for their dedicated work throughout the year.

Change of Pace

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

This past week-end Tom and I flew to Salt Lake City for the Semi-annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We rented suites in Salt Lake City and had three of our children, their spouses, and grand-daughters with us there. What GREAT fun.!!!!!

(Prairie and Autumn with Grandma)

Therefore no work on the under water madness. I packed my by hand project and worked on it. I refer to it as “The Generations Unite”. I have 12 blocks that my mother embrodiered before her death. I am now making the setting blocks for this quilt which will have six generations represented — 1-My great-grandmother, 2-My grandmother, 3-My mother, 4-Me, 5-My daughters, 6-My grand-daughters.


This is one of the blocks that my mother made.

This is the setting block that I am making. Only 20 of these to make. This represents my Great-grandmother. All the quilts that I have seen that she made were either Double-wedding ring or Gloried nine-patch quilts.

This gives you an idea of how the quilt will look when the blocks are set together.
This project will keep me busy for a LONG time!!!!!!!
