This weekend I went to Utah for Alyse Hales-Barber's wedding and for a quiltathon with Cindy. (and my mom, but she refused to even touch the sewing machine)
Since I was very sick the night before, I was out of sorts and didn't take pics, but here is Alyse and her new husband Bob. They are very cute together and looked great!
Cindy offered to let me stay at her house and teach me how to quilt. She was an amazing teacher and very patient with my beginner mistakes! We quilted a LOT but also got a lot done and I can't wait to finish it up.
Cutting my quilt squares
Cindy trying to fix the machine that I seemed to always screw up for some reason, ha. Its kind of like a car, when its not yours it takes a little while to get used to.
My semi-finished quilt. I have everything sewn together, but have to finish the actual quilting part of it. Its a baby blanket so its small and simple, but I was very excited about my first quilt.
We also got a little bit of relaxation time in between. She has an amazing house and it is so adorable. I just love everything about it. She also taught me how to make a one-hour baby quilt, no pics, but its so cute and pretty easy to make. Thank you Cindy for being such an awesome aunt and teaching me your ridiculously amazing quilting skills! And thank you mom for taking the pics, even though she's not in them, my mother was there also for social and relaxation time away from work!

Ohhh fun. Your baby quilt is darling. What a great aunt!
P.S. You were "out of sorts?" Yet I'm a 90-year-old when I "can't put my finger on it!" Well, crumb. I guess you're 90, too!
thanks for coming to see me on my wedding day!!!! I am glad you got those quilts started. You are so talented. I love you girl! Bob and I need to come see you and Josh!
I may not have touched the sewing machine but I was there in support.
Plus...we had that little taste of yum at the Cheesecake Factory. I think it was called Caramel Pecan Turtle Cheesecake...a must try
Plus..we saw Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
the whole weekend was a quiltalation
Your quilt is super cute! Did your friend marry Bob Barber, from Tri-Cities? I just thought the groom looked familiar so I wanted to ask. :)
A quilting weekend at Cindy's is always a fun event!! I just can't figure out how she got ALL the sewing genes. Not fair!
