A Prayer For Tony Brown

My dear friend Tony Brown who I have known for over 26 years was in a tragic ATV accident while Elk Hunting with his two brother-in-laws. One of the brothers died and Tony was critically injured. He is the husband of one of my oldest and dearest friends and I would like to ask for your prayers for him and his wonderful family. We love you, Tony. Get well!

A visit to "Material Girls"

Whenever I visit Salt Lake I try to visit "Material Girls" Quilt Shop
in South Jordan. As you can see, they love bright cheerful quilts and
fabric as much as I do!

Heaven is a real Belgium Waffle

I don't usually blog about food, but I have to today! My sister and nephew told me about this place in downtown Salt Lake, so since I'm visiting in Utah, Heidi and I decided to see if it lived up to the hype. OH MY GOODNESS, it does! It's called BRUGES and it is authentic Belgium Waffles and it is truly one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted!

Heidi ordered this-Belgium chocolate melted in the middle of the waffle, fresh strawberries on top and homemade cream fraise. Unbelievably delicious.
I got one with the chocolate but without strawberries-Still fabulous. The waffles carmelize while they cook so no butter or syrup needed. If you are ever in Salt Lake - don't miss it!

LoveLoriDesigns

I went to the Salmon Creek Farmer's Market yesterday. I didn't even know they had one! Lori Williams told me about it so I went to check out her booth. She is an amazing seamstress! She has designed and sewn her own line of children's clothes.
As you can see, they are fabulous: Bright current prints, lots of ruffles, full petticoats any little girl would die for, and wonderful colors. I have purchased her outfits for three of my grand daughters and they are their favorites!!
If you want to know more about her designs or see them in person, call me and I will put you in touch!

Cheery Cherry Apron

I recently finished this Apron. I loved the retro cherry print & bought coordinating prints.
I appliqued& embroidered a matching, larger motif from the fabric on the yoke and then quilted around it. It was a fun project. I put it in the shop and Veronica's Mom bought it the next day. She's my best customer!

Last Vintage Gathering of the Season...

Fall was very much in evidence on Saturday. All the booths had fun fall and Halloween themed items. The event got a bit soggy on Saturday, but spirits remained high and intrepid shoppers
still came. These first 3 pictures are of Matt and Veronica's "Olive Kat" booth. By the way,
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Matt and Veronica!

I took several pics of other vendor's booths. Everyone had so many beautiful and unique things. I hope I give credit to the right people for these pictures. If not, please forgive me.

It's a Little Late, but....

I finally finished this little flag quilt. I loved the calico look to it. Roberta Peterson did the machine quilting. She always does a fantastic job. I didn't quite get it done in time for the 4th of July but I'm way early for next year!
