Still Can't Head South

 Riverton, Utah          High 70 Low 68

The weather still has been unusually warm, except the weather guessers are predicting snow (the awful 4 letter word) for Tuesday and Wednesday. The next good day for travel through Utah look's like Monday the Fourth, so that's what we are shooting for.

Cindy's birthday was last week and my youngest daughter set her flowers,

There is not much else going on, with the exception of quilting. I hope you don't get tired of looking at them. The first one only has two patterns. I hope you can see them on the back.

I put my tape measure on this picture to show how small the pieces are. By my calculations, there are 3600 one inch pieces plus the borders.

The next one has baby jungle animals on it.

This quilt has Safari Animals.

Right now Cindy and I are working on a Nightmare Before Christmas quilt for her grand-daughter. She had us watch the movie, which we didn't care for, but they really like. I hope she likes the quilt. Pictures next time.

Thanks for visiting.

My Hand Is Okay

 Riverton, Utah          High 81 Low 56

The weather here has been warmer than normal, about 20 degrees warmer, and new records have been set. Next Thursday is supposed to get back to normal.

I went to the hospital to the hand surgeon to get the pin nail taken out of my hand. They gave me a local in my hand, but wouldn't let me watch. The Doctor announce at 11 minutes he had the nail. They took me back to my room and let me get dressed and leave. I had to keep my hand dry for 10 days until I went to have the Doctor look at my hand again. He had put in self dissolving stitches and said everything looked good. I just have to keep brandade's on my hand for a while.

In the meanwhile, I finished two quilts, one of which took me two weeks to do. There are lots of different patterns and thread colors. 

The other quilt is smaller (although not much) and I was able to do an over all pattern. This one only took a day to do. Cindy had some blocks left over, which we incorporated into the back. The quilt front and back are flannel.

We slowly have been getting ready to head south to Yuma, but with all the warm weather, the walnut tree leaves haven't started to fall. We feel like we need to wait until they are picked up to leave because the dead leaves will kill the lawn if left .
