Each morning, as part of our family ritual, we gather together for breakfast. The past few mornings I've noticed that Blondie heads straight to the family room and grabs a quilt before she sits down to eat. This morning she also grabbed a quilt for her little sister, Ballerina Girl. This is what I found on the living room floor once breakfast was over...
Yes, there are bodies under those lumpy quilts. I get warm fuzzies when I see my children snuggled up in the quilts that I've made. That IS why I make them, you know!
Above is a close up of Blondie (14)...
and Ballerina Girl (10.5). I can't believe that she would stick her tongue out at me!
After five minutes of coaxing the girls to get up and get dressed, Shadow is left alone to groom himself. Now who do you suppose will have to fold those quilts back up?
After enjoying bagels with my friends this morning I made a quick dash to Material Girls in South Jordan to buy some backing fabric for a quilt I'm working on. I asked nicely and the owner let me take a picture inside the shop. This is a great little shop that is bursting at the seams. They'll soon be moving the store to a larger location in the same shopping complex.[Note to you retreaters who came to Happy Valley last fall: No, we did not visit this shop, but I promise to take you there if you'll come back to visit me!!!]
Oh that shop looks like it's wonderful! Your girls look so comfy all rolled up in the quilts...great way to use them :-)
ReplyDeleteYour girls look so cute all bundled up in those quilts. The one looks familiar. I made the basket one too. Actually twice. Love the quilt shop. Looks like a good one for sure.
ReplyDeleteNothing feels better than seeing someone you loved wrapped up in a quilt you made!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could teach the cat to fold the quilts back up? No, probably not... Mine also roll up in quilts similarly - it's nice to see them being used, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI love the window view in to the shop. Lucky you are to have it so close. Great quilts. I'm going to remember how you did the back on the basket one...
ReplyDeleteCute shop! Now why didn't we go there?! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe there was a shop bursting at the seams and you didn't take us there!! lol
ReplyDeleteThe kids look cozy under those quilts . . . too bad they had to get back up and go to school . . . I guess I mean good thing they had to get up and go to school!
A trip to the quilt shop...sounds perfect. Your quilts are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch comfy girls, yes it was a shame to make them get dressed and go to school.
ReplyDeleteMy GKs to that also.
Neat quilt shop.
What adorable photos of your girls all bundled up! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, too. That's what quilts are for, that's for sure!! Love your quilts, by the way - they're gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI need to go to that quilt shop - it looks divine!!
Hooray for Fall!!!!!!
Can I come too? I am sure I could squeeze it in between grandchildren! (The retreat that is.) Your lumps of quilt children is adorable. I agree- it warms the heart to see the quilts cuddled up in!
ReplyDeleteMan, I miss those mornings...Not so much the waking up at 6:30, but definately the hot cocoa and quilt-love. And I, for one, can totally believe that B.G. stuck her tongue out at you.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it satisfying to know your quilts are loved. The pictures are darling . . . these are times memories are made of *s*
ReplyDeleteIsn't there something absolutely wonderful about seeing the quilts you make being snuggled under?
ReplyDeleteThat shop looks like a wonderful place to spend some time. Good thing it's far enough away that I'm not tempted. Not one bit. Ok, so just a little...
Nothing better then seeing quilts used and loved. I have a mandate for anyone who ever receives a quilt I made. It must be used. Period. And if it's for a baby... I expect to see stains on it at some point.
ReplyDeleteWhat yummy quilts those are! I love this post. :o)
I visited that quilt shop when I was in Salt Lake in May! It was one of our favorites....the owner was delightful. I wish her the best of luck with her move.
ReplyDeleteI own the Material Girls in South Jordan Ut. Thanks so much for your great comments on the shop. We have moved and we doubled our space so be sure and stop by anytime I'm always there!!
