Field Study

Like one of my sisters posted here, we split a fat quarter bundle of Field Study and promised each other that we would figure out our plan and cut into it by tonight.

I found this quilt that I really liked.

and, once I found the tutorial for the block (which required less thinking from me) I decided to give it a try.  Here's my first small block. I'm too tired to do any more, but I did start cutting into the fabric so I have something cut to go back to.

Just ignore my shadow- I don't have much light this time of day. I decided to do a light gray instead of kona bone, although I may regret that later. 

remember when

...I used to blog?  Well, I really have no excuse. But I also know that there is no one out there constantly checking and waiting for me to post. Life has been sailing by, as it does for all of us.  I'm loving my job and enjoying the people that I work with. Our ward is wonderful and Jake and I are staying busy with our new callings: (1st Counselor in RS and EQ President).  I'm still constantly trying to fit in reading, sewing and my other hobbies while spending time occasionally with my Mr. Wonderful.

Life is good, although some days it's hard. I know that God answers prayers and that life goes on, whether we are enjoying it or not.

I started a book club with my sisters and sisters-in-law and I'm excited for that. I'm also trying to start one with people in my area.

Seed is in the back yard so hopefully next spring we will have grass.

Listening to Elder Holland makes me happy.

Exercise is good. I enjoy it when I do it and miss it when I'm too lazy.

This is the time of year when I want to make my garden bigger next year.  The problem is, I usually don't feel that way when I'm planting it.

I love being with family. And holding babies. The end.
