It is finished!

I started this project in 2008, It's from a book by Eleanor Burns, or "Quilt in a Day". I like Eleanor's methods, you do finish a quilt quickly. However, I also like the dimensional look, so I adopted her sister methods for my flowers. They pop right out at you.
After starting the baskets, they are machine pieced I taught a class in Relief Society, many of the sisters made pillows or wall hangings. I preserved getting my baskets full of flowers. I put it on the quilt frame this last summer and began quilting the baskets, with pansies in the plain triangles. The down side of dimensional flowers is that you can not machine quilt it. So it is finally finished and it looks great on my bed. So, 4 years is not a bad time for me, some projects have taken up to 10 years. I still have the book and some of the tracings for the flowers, I will probably never make it again, anyone interested??

33 years

For our anniversary this year we, with RosaLee and David, it was their anniversary as well, drove to Vernal, Utah.

There are a lot of dinosaurs in Vernal, Utah!! While I'm not really big on dinosaurs, it was a fun trip. I forgot the camera, so used the phone to take pictures.

Now I have all these wonderful pictures on my phone and I cannot figure out how to get them off the phone and into the computer. Go Figure!

Anyway I liked this dinosaur, he is so colorful and cute.

Out past Jensen, about 10 miles from Vernal, is a big dinosaur "dig". This building has just opened to the public so it was free when we went. And inside this building is "A Wall of Bones" Pictures below.

Very interesting, a lot of Fossils and dinosaur bones exposed in this wall of rock.

After this it was dinner and then we ended up doing a session at the Vernal Temple, guess which activity I enjoyed most??

The trip took all day, we left at 9:00am and didn't get home until 9:00pm.

A fun time was had by all, we do enjoy day trips to learn more about Utah.

P.S. The pictures are from the inter net, my pictures are still in my phone, any advise??
