Thanksgiving with the Birks

 The family decided to go to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't. With Christmas coming, I have too many quilts to finish. So I stayed home and was invited to have Thanksgiving with the Birks. They had a pie bar afterwards that was to die for. So grateful for them!

Baltimore Album

 When I served as president of Camano Island Quilt Guild for two years, the applique group created this beautiful top for me as a gift. I was surprised to receive it with a beautiful back and quilt label, ready for me to quilt myself. I've grown to know many of these wonderful women personally and love them very much. Some were sweet enough to stitch their names into their blocks.

Surprise Remodel

 When I entered the church early this morning to teach seminary, I noticed quite the difference in the chapel. It is almost unrecognizable.


I guess the carpet is getting replaced. How strange to see it this way.
