Friends... Family and catching up...

Today I was checking in on all my friends blogs and found some old friends from when we lived in Washington. It was the highlight of my day. I love that through blogging you can get to know friends that you don't get to see to often.

Also I need to catch up on my own blog. It has been busy as my parent's decided to come for a short visit after they had been helping my Uncle Scott with the building of his log home in Utah. Here are my parents. Here is the log home that they have been helping my Uncle Scott and Aunt Kim work on.
Here is the fireplace that they have been working on.

Here is my Aunt Kim they did a diamond pattern on the wall and then the wall boards around it. It is very cool.


So it was a mad dash for a couple of evenings to get ready for them. We had a great time and glad that they could come. We enjoyed some games of pool and domino's.


We also worked on a quilt that I started on a few years ago. I had this great idea for a quilt and with old jeans I cut out a lot of triangles. Well before my parents went on their mission my mom tried to show me what to do to sew them and after trying only one I threw my hands up in the air and gave up. So when my parents returned from their mission I gave all the pieces to my mom and told her if she could make it work that would be great and if not just to toss them. Well recently she sewed all the quilt squares together and then this weekend we finished the quilt together. Here is my mom's handi work with the quilt squares. And then here I am sewing the quilt pieces together.



I will have to post a picture of the final product later as I have taken the quilt to work. It has been so cold lately and I have been using it to keep me warm. I also started another quilt 11 years ago and only had the binding to finish on it and we completed it too.
