Mom and I worked so hard this weekend! 10 or 15 years ago, Mom asked
her brothers and sisters to make quilt blocks for their mom. She got
the blocks back but didn't know where to start... so after Christmas
I brought the blocks home with me and trimmed, fixed and added
borders. I also made all the 9-patch border blocks. So when Mom came
up we decided to tackle it! It went together easily, we found a
gorgeous backing fabric and machine quilted between the blocks and all
the 9 patch blocks. We sewed on the binding late last night so Mom
could take it home with her. I heard she finished the binding on the
plane! She's going to do the hand quilting in all the heart blocks
and then it's done!!! I think it turned out great! I can't wait for
Grandma to get it!!!

grandma's quilt!
mirror
such a pretty drive to and from the pool! This was taken a few weeks
ago-- I saw snow up there today!
sunrise
gorgeous sunrise over the mountains last week. We're losing daylight
fast now! Our days are shorter than the lower 48 now that we've
passed the equinox and we lose 6-7 minutes a day.

Monday's Earthquake
My biggest yet! Not sure if it was the biggest magnitude but it was
dang close to town so it was the biggest shake I've felt. I think it
was a 4.8 or 4.9 and the epicenter was about 5 miles from my house.
Just found this pic I had saved on my computer.

the scene
Mum's up visiting this week! We've been keeping busy around town and
enjoying each other's company. ;-) Tonight we made a serious dent in
a quilt for Grandma Johnson-- it's a surprise but I don't have to
worry about her reading my blog! Anyway, I liked this shot of the
scene-- fun night!
