Happy Mothers Day

Riverton, Utah          High 80 Low 48

It has been a little warmer than usual for this time of year with the weather guessers predicting record highs this coming week. 

Monday I had another tooth pulled. This time it hasn't gone as well as last time. Where the tooth came out, the stitches seemed to come out a lot sooner than they should have. Since Friday, my mouth has felt like I  have been hit in the face. I called the dentist, and the soonest they cay get me in is tomorrow.

Tuesday we had a block party for Cinco de Mayo. Quite a few people were there, but I don't think as many as last year.

There was also a small car show with the party.

I have also finished two more quilts. Cindy sure likes lot of small pieces!

This Harry Potter Quilt is from a kit Cindy got. She had so much fabric left over, she made a really fancy back for it.

Today Tammy, Cindy's daughter, is coming over for a Mothers Day Lunch, which she says she us going to prepare. Of course Cindy is putting in a lot of work also.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there.

Thanks for visiting.

It's May Already

Riverton, Utah       High 75 Low 49

The weather has been very nice and the weather guessers say the warm temperatures will continue with no chance of freezing. 

Cindy has been busy planting her garden because of the warmer temperatures.

I have been busy quilting, mostly easy quilts. 

During the week, I had one of my customers bring me five small Place mats, wall hangings, and table toppers to have quilted. Some of them, if not the smallest ever quilted, are right there with the smallest. And after I finished them, she brought one more to quilt. Those in the know will relate to only using 1 1/2 yards of batting for all of them.

The ine you can't read is identical to the other May one.

Tomorrow I got to the dentist to have one more tooth pulled.

Thanks for visiting.

More Quilts and Dentist

It rained overnight and the weather guessers say it will rain off and on until early afternoon.

I spent most of the week working on quilts. Mostly for Cindy, but one from one of my customers.

She had a small baby quilt she wanted finished.

The rest of these are Cindy's.

The quarter and dime are to give you an idea of how small the pieces in the quilt are.

Thursday I had to go to one of my least favorite places, the dentist. I had to have four teeth pulled because of decay and infection. I spent the next two days with my mouth feeling a lot of distress. The only trouble is, I have to go back for one more extraction. I guess the bottom teeth didn't want to get pulled, because they took way longer than the top.

Thanks for visiting.

There Is No Pot of Gold

 Riverton, Utah              High 73 Low 42

We went from Winter to back to spring in three days. Two nights it got clear down to 29 degrees, which it looks like, froze all the fruit. Then today it warmed up. We even got the awful 4 letter word, snow, which soon melted off.

I forgot to tell about something that we saw on our way back to Riverton. As we got closer to Provo we hit a rain storm. It let up a little and we saw a double rainbow.

As we drove along, the rainbow seemed to get closer and closer. Pretty soon we seemed to be chasing the end of the rainbow. It didn't take too long and we seemed to see the end of it on the side of the road. Then I seemed to catch it and it looked like it was on the hood of the truck. From our experience, I can tell you, there is no Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow. It still was pretty spectacular.

Last week I had a new customer call and ask if I could quilt a tee shirt quilt for her, which I was glad to do. She kept telling me not to notice the bad stitching, but I ended up telling her she had nothing to apologize for, as the sewing was very good. 

 Then I finished one of Cindy's quilts. 

Cindy had some butternut squash from last fall that she decided to finally cook, so we cut it up to make soup. 

I am still working on the water system for the garden and am nearly finished.
