Text of the page (random words):
a and back to the good ole usa it was so good to see a road sign that read 55 mph instead of 100 kph my brain was a bit confused with the metric measurments and then there were the looney s i m probably spelling it wrong anyway a looney luni luney is a brass colored coin that the canadians use for a dollar again i was confused here is jonathan and shandeigh indicating we have reached alaska oh happy day we drove into ft greely late at night and stayed in lodging there on the base eric s sponsor had arranged breakfast foods milk and drinking water for us for the next morning i was impressed we spent the next couple of nights in this lodging while amber and eric found a home on base then the moving in began there was a group of seven men from their branch that came to help again i was so thankful for good people who would give of their time to help after getting them settled somewhat it was time to go to fairbanks where i would catch the plane that would fly me all night to salt lake city utah before going to fairbanks we drove to north pole alaska the home of santa claus here are a few pictures of our visit with santa here is shandeigh reaching into santa s mailbox to see what the other kids of the world wanted to tell santa here is a picture of shandeigh with santa he treated her so special i always knew that santa was a kind and jolly elf i was really able to see his generosity first hand the boys were too shy to go sit on santa s lap here was one of santa s reindeer the kids thought maybe he was rudolph and here i am at the doorstep to eric and amber s home saying goodbye to the shandeigh jonathan paden and quinn thank goodness for cell phones email and web cams after flying all night from fairbanks alaska to salt lake city ut i met my long lost husband roger at about 9 30 in the morning he picked me up and we drove again to farmington new mexico we picked up 7 boxes of roasted chili peppers and bagged and froze them we stayed 2 nights with roger s parents and then got back in the car again and drove home on labor day all in all i figured road trip miles not including flight miles was close to 4400 miles wow what a trip posted by quilting for less at 6 41 am no comments tuesday june 30 2009 july newsletter a bit about life happy 4th of july to all usa friends what a beautiful summer this is turning out to be in southeast idaho we have had steady rain for about 2 weeks the weather has finally turned and the sun is shining our resevoirs are full to overflowing and we are thankful for that we have needed rain for the past few years my daughter and family will be coming to spend a few days our plans are to go to glacier park tomorrow if all goes well dh works up that direction and said it is beautiful and wants us to see it as well i am excited to do that i have been watching my other daughter s kids the past couple of days my almost 10 year old grandson challenged me to a rematch of monopoly sorry to say i beat his socks off again we ll see if he wants a rematch today or wants to move on to another game last month i showed you a picture of the unfinihsed log cabin quilt and had intentions of completing the quilting and make pillow shams i am happy to say i finished i got it done just in time for my husbands birthday on the 13th of june you can see how it turned out below a few months back i mentioned that i was making a birthday present for my daughter she will be here and i will give her the gift so i can post it here if she sees it before she gets here oh well it is a pattern from kim diehl entitled every heart beats true i scaled the pattern down to be used as a table topper my daughter loves americana decor and i thought this would be perfect for her kitchen table what do you think quilting views and tips i saw the cutest wall hanging it was of some appliqued aprons they were done in 1930 s fabrics and then embelished with buttons ric rac yo yo s etc it was so darn cute i have been working on my own version i ll let you see what i come up with i have also been thinking of a full size sampler quilt only done in miniature i m thinking of about 3 inch finished blocks somehow the lttle stuff really appeals to me i love to do paper piecing which allows these tiny miniatures to be so precise again i ll show you what i come up with i have almost finished a set of embroidered herbs my plans are to make quilt blocks and use the six inch embroidered blocks as the center of each quilt block it seems that i always have something mulling around through my mind i love it when the plan actually comes together new patterns i have the august element for the month after month wall hanging ready i call it sunny sunflower what would august be without a sunflower you can purchase the pattern from my website by clicking here special announcement i need to announce that my website quiltingforless com will probably come to end sometime next month it has been a long uphill climb and a lot of hard

this has been a blast making so many different blocks it was so fun that we started another group and a lot of the ladies joined that one too i can t wait until my birthday to see how everyone made the block that i requested hurry august lol my granddaughter who is diabetic was in need of more packs to carry her insulin pump in we had gone shopping for fabric some time back and i let her choose her own fabric i got six of them made up and sent them to her without taking a picture oh how i love technology i called my daughter and asked her if she could take a picture and email it she said the camera was with her husband but she could take one with her phone and here are five of the six packs my granddaughter is wearing the other one she was so glad to get them and loved how her fabric turned out these have been such a life saver for her she just wears them around her waste like a belt and she can run jump and play all she wants without dropping her pump and i guarantee she does a lot of all three quilting views and tips last month i told you how inspired i was with bonnie hunter s scrap using system this last month i was able to put to use this system i had quite a few novelty fabric pieces that i wasn t sure how to use them well with bonnie s help at quiltville com i put together this scrappy happy house quilt i used the scraps that i cut as per bonnie s system it went together so fast and i was able to use up a ton of those novelty fabrics that i had here is how the top turned out speaking of novelty fabrics a couple of quilting friends and i swapped 3 1 2 inch squares of novelty fabric we made sure that there were 2 of all the fabrics squares we cut then we pieced them together to make an i spy quilt the quilt also doubles as a matching game here is my i spy quilt which the grandkids already love i had some squares left so i put the leftover squares to use on the back of the quilt here are the pictures of the top and back of my i spy quilt new

when we went to church the ground was covered and it was snowing like a banshi when we got out of church at 2 00 pm it was almost all melted what can i say i live in idaho o i have been so busy this month i finished a quilt for someone special for christmas these blocks have been in a drawer for a couple of years in all honesty i hated them the colors all seemed to be so dark i was seriously thinking about giving them away or better yet finding a home for them in the trash can i have a great quilting friend who encouraged me to get them out and do something with them i finally did and i have to admit that the results are so much better than i expected in fact it is the most gorgeous quilt i have made i especially love the big flower border thanks to kim diehl for her insperation for the applique design i wanted the back different not a standard piece of fabric but something i decided to make one large block and then border it to fit the top so i made a huge bear s claw block for the back i also decided to go completely outside the box on this one and quilt every block differently i did the whole thing without a pattern and just thought about the block and what might look good for the quilting here is the pictures of the quilt i am calling it the royal sampler i think it is very rich looking let me know what you think quilting views and tips i have also been inspired to tame my fabric scraps bonnie hunter and quiltville com has been my inspiration i have been using her system to cut scraps into blocks bricks and strips i can hardly wait to try her leader and ender idea go check out her website maybe you will be inspired too i have been cutting for days and hope to see the end soon then i will be able to keep up as each new project evolves and i will have a
