Log cabin blocks set in Courthouse Steps pattern. Individual blocks made by Sister _______, (can't remember her name! We can call her Sister Generous Soul) who gave me boxes and boxes of "antique" looking fabric before she left on her mission from Baltimore Stake to Guatemala. Sister Generous Soul was once the sister-by-marriage to our first landlord (D. Bradford) in Springville. I wish she could see this quilt!
I sewed the blocks into two quilts and taught the Relief Society sisters how to quilt. The first one using "Crow's Foot" stitches-my personal favorite tie method, and this one, using traditional knot ties. The first one I got bound, finished and delivered to Salt Lake City Welfare Square as a donation. This one has (embarrassingly) sat unbound for....years? Too long. It is finished, finally, and going to a good home today: new baby girl and family in need of some extra love. Yes, it is great to donate to rescue missions, disaster areas, Church projects, but sometimes help a little closer to home is what is needed more. I hope it helps this family stay warm this winter, and that they know lots of love and learning hands went into making it. Everyone helping a little bit can make a difference! Thanks to Tiffany for organizing friends and helping us be aware of a real need locally.
Happy Rosh Hashannah meant a day off of school. Both of these children are in a serious growth spurt. Good helpers.
GIANT mitsu apples. Thank you to friend Laura who taught me where to find them!

Local love means can mean just as much or more than giving far away. Even important to remember service love in our own homes matters.
I miss picking NY apples. It looks like you had fun.
Gifts are good.
where do you get those apples?
I remember you sharing a taste once and that the crisp you made with them was AWESOME.
Mmmmm. I think I will find some apples. Good to see kid pics. Love the pictures of Suzu too, in costume! She does look beautiful.
