Spring Break - Fun in Cali vs Quilt Mania

We had planned to join K & A in Cali for a week of ultra fun at the beach and Disneyland when we found out that a family in our ward was going to the temple on Friday to have their four little girls sealed to them. About ten years ago I painted an Arizona temple on a piece of fabric for this couple as incentive for a quilt when they went to the temple. I had given it to them and totally forgotten about it. I was "reminded" about it on Sunday and decided to make good on my word. Russell and Rhondia wanted blue and green so I pieced and pressed and speed quilted until Thursday afternoon. Here it is after the quilting party, just needing to be bound. My treat was being able to be with them in the temple. Words can't express the sweetness. I just regret missing the fun we would have had with our four little Nielson girls. I hope they will forgive.

Bloomin' Green


I love the smell of Spring! I love the color of Spring! It's here!

We've been working in the back yard this week. Love it all!
