Before moving into my quilty week, I wanted to post a   link to information about temples .  Some Chooky group friends asked me some questions at our last gathering, and I wanted to share the official church info with them.  I love the videos and photos inside the temple.

Oh, and I forgot to post a photo from the wedding.  I really liked these:

I sewed alone on Friday afternoon but with a friend most of the day Saturday.  We got all of our Sand Dollar blocks pieced an trimmed.  Now for the center circle applique'.  They get cute once the center is on them. The idea of appliqueing 88 circles is a little daunting.  These blocks finish at 5 1/2".

One Monthly Goal Update:

I also got really close to done on my Christmas Row Quilt.  All it needs is blanket stitch applique on the truck, legs on the reindeer, and a border.  The tree section was completely done improv style.  

PHD Update:

No new starts, no finishes for 2022, but Masterpiece is ready to be quilted and Christmas Row Quilt is nearly there.

The wedding...

I wanted to show just a few wedding photos because some have inquired about them.

My daughter and her husband were married in the beautiful Manti Temple.  We believe that marriage is for eternity if the couple is sealed in the temple of the Lord.  Their future children will also be sealed to them forever.

It has rained for a month and by some miracle it did not rain a single drop on their wedding day.

The wedding (we call it a sealing) was followed by a wonderful luncheon at a dance hall and then a reception in the evening held in the groom's parents' yard.  

Here is a photo of my family:  my son, daughter #1, new son, daughter #2, me, and my husband.

Her quilts were displayed at the reception:

There was line dancing, western swing dancing, and slow dancing...

a live bluegrass band...

and homemade root beer; we don't drink alcohol.

and dutch oven cobbler in a variety of flavors.

My good looking husband of 24 years and our daughters...
