First things first, my Micah turned 8 years old this month. It was a pretty special birthday too because he...
The Paducah Story
When I headed out Monday morning to Paducah for QuiltWeek, I was able to catch an amazing shot of my beautiful hometown Saint George, Utah. If you haven't been here to visit - you should. It is so gorgeous.
The first time I have ever eaten in a restaurant alone happened on Monday night. I think my text to Clint went something like this: I don't like eating alone, this is lame.
The food...
Bohemian Quilt Progress
So, in the midst of my crazy teaching schedule, I have been making time to finish my newest quilt design, Bohemian. It will be available as a pattern soon. I will also be teaching how to piece this quilt top in Minnesota at the WOW Guild in October this year. Looking forward to that.
I am having a lot of fun with the quilting on this quilt. Seriously, so fun. But then really - quilting my own...
MQX 2015
Even though I do not like to fly, it is hard not to appreciate the beauty from up above.
I convinced my sister Amy that she needed to come with me to MQX and I am so glad she came. She was incredible and the best help to me. She even force fed me in the mornings, you'll have to ask her about that. ;-)
I was worried about making sure I had time to adjust to the time difference, so we flew in a...

All airfare and hotel expenses are paid for by Green Fairy Quilts, we always use 100% of your donations in Bucharest for necessary supplies.

Happy Easter!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter spent with the ones you love. I am grateful for my Savior and #BecauseHeLives I can have hope in this life.
A little bit of beauty out of all the chaos.
So, it's been crazy around here with lots of busy work preparing for teaching. The good news is, my machine is fixed and working beautifully. My mom brought it down from Salt Lake and I had a wonderful visit with her. Thanks to Jen Alexanderfor fixing my machine - it basically has all new parts in the front. I think my machine has done really well for how old it is - almost 7 years and now I...
Spring Break 2015
Clint and I went to Portland a couple of years ago for Quilt Market. We decided then that we really needed to bring the kids back to the NorthWest. It really is so beautiful there. So, we took an early flight to Portland, our first with all four kids for Spring Break two weeks ago. After landing and renting a minivan (totally awesome and funny that Clint drove a minivan all week, he's been dead...
Tula Pink Butterfly Quilt.
So, you better buckle up because I have quite the story to tell with this quilt. Let's just say I will never have, in fact I do not have anymore deadline quilts! Just too stressful! Seriously.
So, this pattern is The Butterfly Quilt by Tula Pink. I am a huge fan of Tula Pink, she is super talented and I was really excited to get a chance to quilt this particular quilt made by Linda from Canada....
