Memory Quilts

 A friend of mine asked if I could make some memory quilts for her from her fathers clothing. How can you say No? Her father was the best!! 

So !! I have been cutting, and cutting, and piecing a little....


The cool thing is - he wore a specific color palette - so everything seems to be blending well. He was also a strong Christian man and had several favorite bible versus. We picked the Three he loved the most, and my Friend Deb did the embroidery for me. 



I now have all the embroidered blocks done and am starting on the others - I need to make 72 total blocks  for all the quilts. ( I feel like the little engine that could - I can do it! I can do it!) 

It's actually quite fun... ha!

also - Saturday I had another competition. I have to preface this with - I am not the best. I am a low person on the *greatness* totem pole. BUT!! I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN!

My horse and I have been practicing, and each time I get more comfortable with fast... this last weekend ALL my runs were sub 20 seconds! ( I usually go about 30-40 so WHOA!!)


this is a screen shot from the video - I loved seeing the sparks, and we were SO intent.... this is a fun sport!


Just a pretty - the cows looked so pretty against the mountains and the cold Crisp air.

    Way to go - cutting your times by so much!! There is something magical about the light out on the landscape at certain times of the day. That memory quilt will be so treasured by the recipients.

    Those shirts are going to make beautiful quilts, and they will be even more special with the Bible verses! Congratulations on improving your times in the competition, too. You and your partner do look very intent there!
