Quilting

I come from a long line of quilters. My great, great gma, great gma, grandma and mother and aunt are all very talented quilters. If you would have asked me even a couple of years ago if I would turn into a quilter, I would have said no. However, now that I have made my first piece, I think I'm hooked.

My grandma, mom and sister in law all took a quilting class in Burlingame, KS on Saturday to have some girl time.  I made a large table runner. It took me 5 hours. Those 5 hours went fast. It makes me appreciate all of the quilts my mom and grandma have made for me and my family, as those took many hours.  I now know how much love, sweat and time all of them took.  I hope I can continue in the tradition and become as good of a quilter as the strong women in my family.

Now, I just need to buy a sewing machine...details.

Sledding and Snow Fun

Our two snow days were well spent. Lanny was off of work as well, so we just had two extra family days, which were priceless. The girls love the snow, although I do need to invest in getting them some snow bibs next year.
