I love visiting Utah.
My boys get to go skiing, which they love.
It is beautiful: snowy mountains, spring trees in bloom in the valley (it still looks like the dead of winter back home)
My family is here: I spent the weekend on a mini sewing “retreat” with my mom and sister,
I got to sew on that cute little white featherweight there in the front!
My brothers came to town to see me, too. I am so blessed to have great relationships with my siblings.
My younger brother brings his dog, sweet Dusty,
Dusty is a dog who quilts, just like my Cleo at home. Here he is trying out my project. This purple is a new color for me…and I love it! more on this later.
Salt Lake City has really fabulous quilt shops! Seriously, my stash would be about three times its size if I lived here. If you are ever in town, you simply must check out Elaine’s Quilt Block, Pine Needles, and Quilters’ Haven: they are heaven for fabric lovers! I picked up this piece from Tula Pink’s new collection, Fox Field, at Elaine’s:
I plan to use it for a binding. I always like stripes for binding, but this one really has a bit of flare.
So that’s where I have been, visiting, sewing, eating too much candy, laughing with my family.
Have a great week! see you back here Thursday for the Bikini QAL check-in…I have something super fabulous to share….

So it was you that brought the snow back again.
Oh what fun to sew and spend time with family! Cute puppy hard at work, helping with the quilt!
