Katie's Mission Call

 Katie's mission call arrived and she arranged to have Tyler on the phone so he could hear her open it. We have been enjoying Katie for all of 8 days since she arrived home from London study abroad. The Christmas tree is set up and the flurry of deadline quilting, Christmas concerts, and present wrapping is in full swing.

When she announced she would be serving in England London South, I fell off the piano bench. I was laughing so hysterically, Tyler probably couldn't hear at all.

She will report to the England MTC on April 22, 2011 and serve for 18 months.

Wool Quilt for Mom

 My friend Cathy introduced me to this wool & flannel quilt pattern and I was smitten. We each made one. However, I couldn't use much of anything in my stash. 

Since it was very thick, it was difficult to quilt on the machine. My mom loved it even though San Diego doesn't need a lot of wool. Nana grew up in the San Gabriel mountains and still feels cold in the winter months.
