A View From the Coop

Today was such a beautiful Oregon day. A little chilly, but the sun was out. After a good, but long day at work this is what I came home to...


This is the view of Mt. Hood from my front porch...

Easter

This past Easter weekend was perfect! Gary, Chelsea, Blake and I broke with tradition and went to church on Saturday night instead of Sunday morning. The service was so good and it was nice to sleep in...

We hosted Gary's side of the family for Easter dinner. Everyone pitched in to help, it made a stress free day! On the menu was fresh Spring Chinook (caught by Gary), Steamer Clams cooked in white wine, butter and garlic, appetizers, veggies, bread, dessert etc. Fantastic!

We love hosting big get togethers, especially family...



One, two, three...


love runs deep around here...

Here's to a great weekend...

Quilt Day

Each month a group of us get together for quilt day! I am always amazed by the creativity and talent each quilter brings to the group.

This is Kim, she is our newest (and youngest) quilter. She just started quilting and I think even sewing and has already finished two quilts for her kids. Kim is a professional photographer and a very creative person. Did I mention she's creative!!! She is a self-starter/teacher and highly motivated. She learned to quilt on a tutorial from You Tube! This is what she's working on now...

Jolyn and Susan are at it again! They are always making the most amazing things. Jolyn decided that her shoes were a little boring, so she jazzed 'em up by adding embroidery. These were plain black converse when she came and adorable works of art when she left...


In the past month Susan pieced, appliqued and hand quilted these two adorable baby quilts...

here are some close ups (she's a crazy good quilter)...

Debbie saw these really great flowers at anthropologie and was happily raiding her stash of fabulous fabrics to try a few of her own...

Laurie is trying out hand quilting for the first time. She seems to have bonded with it right away! We are all giving her advice on the best thimble to use. Any thoughts...

This is a block of the month project that I've been working on...
Quilt day is always fun...
