step 2... complete!

alright. so... kelsey, mom & i finished sewing the top of our quilts yesterday! :) so the next step [which we will learn how to do tonight] is to put the border and the backing on... then our quilts will be all done! pretty sweet right? our quilts definitely arent perfect... but we sure love them!! and we are pretty proud of them too!

nicole and i got back from country thunder today... after being there since wednesday. it was killer fun... and i'm a bit pooped. we only took one or two pictures of us, so once i get that from her i'll do a little post about it, but wow was it fun! so anyway. here's a quick little post, then i'm off to bed!  :)

i got home and was watering some plants when i saw this neat little thing....

we must have some harvester ants or something, but i saw this and was reminded of the british artist andy goldsworthy. i was first introduced to his art in my photography class at byu. its absolutely beautiful stuff... he works with things found in nature... hardly anything man-made or permanent. anyway... his stuff its totally worth checking out. it really is pretty brilliant.

also... mom and i [and soon, kelsey too] have started a little quilting project. some women in my family's ward have put together this quilting group... and mom and i are doing it too. we are starting on an "easy" quilt, which is a good thing since neither of us have really ever quilted before. hopefully it will end up looking something like this...

but this is my fabric...

and this is mom's....

pretty cute, eh? im really excited about it all! i get to go to a little lesson on how to use my sewing machine tomorrow morning, woot woot!... and then we really start quilting! i think it will be a super fun new project... anyway, wish us luck!! :)
