Fall Sunshine

I understand from friends that it snowed yesterday in Northern Utah. When the weather starts to turn cold up North, people start heading to Southern Utah for the beautiful sunshine.
I love it because I get to see family and friends who come to St. George for a visit.
My friend Janean is in town, staying at her condo. We've had some time together the last few days to work a little on our quilting projects.
She is in the process of appliqueing a lot of these baskets out of civil war fabrics.


She also brought several editions of this magazine Quiltmania for me to look at. She said she got them at JoAnns but they are produced in France. The articles are written in English but many of the ads in the back are in French.

Janean carries her projects around in this cute basket.

Janean knows how I love covered buttons. In fact, she knows I'm addicted. Look what she brought me.

It's a pin/ covered button with my initial on it. Great idea!
But now I'm in trouble even more than I was because I have new ideas for my covered buttons.
Heaven help me.

I really enjoy the Quiltmania magazine. The photos are many and of such high quality. I also enjoy the people stories and the articles about quilt shows we would not otherwise know about. And I always find at least one quilt pattern I like.

I hope you enjoyed them as much as I do.
