Sunset at 8,000 Ft.

I have a number of posts I need to finish and get posted, but for now you will have to be content with these photos from about 8,000 feet above sea level along the Mormon Emigrant Trail over the Sierra Nevada. This is where we held our stake's trek a week ago. It was a great and wonderful event, as evidenced by these beautiful sunset scenes. The only downside of the event was the dust - everywhere - I don't know how the pioneers managed months of it. We just about choked on 3 days of it.

I Spy

When I was in Salt Lake, Sharon showed me how to make an I Spy quilt. It seemed like it was something I could do and I have really wanted to do some quilting. I thought it would be fun to do one for Kate's birthday. One of the things I enjoyed the most was looking for the material to make the quilt. I do love to walk through the aisles at JoAnn's and look at material. Once I got it all put together it was time to bind the quilt. I have not had much experience in the area but Sharon also told me there was a way to make praire points to bind the quilt. Rather than making the praire points one at a time you can make continuous praire points and the tutorial on the internet is amazing. Here is the finished project. Don't you just love the binding?
