(now do you see how creative my blog titles are?!)

.dottie and ruby.

This one has been done for a while, but never made it’s way to the blog.

I’m not the greatest at snowball blocks, so this was certainly a good way to practice!

Another one with fabirc by Bonnie & Camille…I just can’t get enough of it! Everything else looks boring in comparison!

.2012 christmas quilt.

I love the Christmas Quilt I made for 2012. I pieced it at Priest Lake this summer..and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy! It’s pieced on the diagonal rather than in vertically, so it had it’s share of time outs along the way.

I took it to Susan, the master long arm quilter, and although you can’t see it real well in these pictures, she quilted holly & berries in the borders and swirls all over the rest of the quilt.

It’s sitting on the back of our chair right now and I love looking over at it!

.quilts & table runners overload!.

Brace yourselves…this is a long one! I used every spare second I have had since about October to work on quilts & table runners for the holiday bazaar I participated in last week. Now you know why my blog has been seriously neglected!

.jury duty.

How lucky am I? I got called to be a juror for two weeks from November 12-23 in Franklin County court. Luckily, between Vetrans Day and Thanksgiving, I didn’t have to report.

A few weeks after I got the county jury duty summons, I received a summons for District (Federal) jury duty! I had to call in from December 7-21 – but on Friday the message said there were no more trials until 2013, so I didn’t have to call in any longer. Whew! District court is in Richland or Yakima – and I really wasn’t looking forward to having to go to Yakima. The only bright side of that would’ve been getting to see Megan, Chris, & Abby!

I don’t mind serving…in fact, this is a good time of the year for me to do it since work is slower than usual during November and December. I’m just glad I didn’t have to this time – and especially glad I didn’t have to go to Yakima!
