Slot Canyon hike with family

 Ready to put a border on Kaffe. It will be gorgeous, but will take me some time. Hopefully I will take photos of the process to share with you when I get time to do it. More on the "why" later.

While I have been setting blocks on point, my daughter has as well. The next two photos are her quilts. Notice they are the same blocks as mine.

We spent a Saturday in March in our favorite slot canyon. You can touch both walls at the same time for long distances. The kids love it! It is enjoyable to see places we took our kids  become places they want to experience with their children.

We live in a beautiful and unique part of the world!

We had quite a group.

My team at work went to a conference.  In the evenings we watched Hail Mary and did an escape room.  S O.  M U C H.  F U N!

I had recently read the book and had to see the movie. Funny, scientific, intense...loved it! I highly recommend you read it before watching it.

These two women from work are exceptional women!

Cute quilt and cute granddaughter has a birthday

 The lady who does my nails showed me this adorable quilt someone made for her baby. I just had to show it to you.

I took my 6th graders on a field trip to a college campus and the courthouse. I can't show pictures of the kids, but I can show some metal art a welding student made. The spider art is amazing!

I had to put on protective glasses in the welding shop.  You can see some antlers another college student made.

We also visited the cosmetology department. I like the words on the sign.

My youngest granddaughter turned 3. Her mom likes to do elaborate parties. Look at the food display. 

Our little "T" was so excited! 

She has a big personality and keeps her momma hopping. She recently cut herself some bangs, A LOT OF BANGS, like halfway across the top of her head. Mom has had to get creative to make her look cute.

More winter outings...

 My son is heavily involved in skijoring because his boss owns it. What is skijoring, you might ask? It is a winter sport where a skilled horse rider races down a track pulling either a skier or snowboarder in a timed  race. The skier has to weave in and out of flags while collecting rings while the horseman grabs a ring as well. My son loves the sport.

My husband, daughter, son-in-law, and I volunteered to help at an event in Kamas, Utah. I walked up and down the course all day gathering rings and delivering them. My husband worked the starting line handing the rope to skiers once the horses were ready to run. My daught and son-in-law warmed up horses. 

This year they had to make snow because Utah didn't get much.

May Chookshed number release

 Well, another month has come and gone in 2026. How did you do on your April challenge? I hope you did better than me. I was gone overseas for a trip and didn't even start my goal.  Perhaps I'll catch up later in the year.

The number for May is #1.

For me it is to hopefully complete my Aurora quilt top. This would have been done a year ago except my daughter wants it and needs it to be king sized for her bed. I need to make more than double the blocks and cannot find the background fabric anywhere online. I did find it in flannel. I may have to make half the blocks from flannel.

February Snow Goose Retreat and other happenings

 We attended the Snow Goose Retreat for the 3rd year in a row. I didn't take classes and enjoyed making progress on various projects.

Here is a photo of the beautiful snow geese as well as myself. They look like snow on the lake.

We only snapped a few photos of us at the air bnb and dinner.

I also photographed some of the quilt show.

I completely plan to make this one!  Love it!

I worked on this Kaffe project. I really enjoyed it.

I also made a couple of bags. The blue one is for Lori while the other is for Phyllis.

I put pockets inside Lori's.
