I've been quilting!!









I can't help myself...I walk into a fabric store...and the material just draws me in!! I've made 4 quilts in the last 3 months...and we've been on the go SOO much...(can you tell I never sleep!!?) But they are so pretty!! I'll have to admit that the flannel and the rag quilt are my Family's favorites...so from now on...they will all be flannel! Sewing is so much like scrapbooking...it's all about the colors and designs of fabric that make it so much fun to do! Kevin says...why are you making all these quilts? ....I said "they're so our kids have something to argue about when I die!" No seriously...just a thing for me...I have to be busy, busy...and this is so rewarding..I think! We have company enough that it's so nice to have MANY quilts to choose from!

So I got my hair straightened yesterday...and it was so wierd to wake up this morning and have it straight still!! Usually I would wake up with an enourmus doo! Now I find myself putting volume back into it! But it will be a nice change!!
Off to Alaska in 16 hours...guess I've put off the inevitable packing long enough (ha ha)...better hop to it!!

I know what you mean about being drawn in by the fabric. There are so many cute prints and I'd totally buy them if I could do anything with them. I love your quilts! All very cute. Also love the hair I like it straight. Have a great time in Alaska.

The second quilt down is my absolute FAVORITE!!! I think you need to bring this one to Utah with you and accidentally forget it here =) I need another blanket!!
