Maxwell "cutting up" his wooden play food set from Grammie and Grandpa
Quilt For Maxwell
This quilt I made for my grandson Maxwell is entitled "The Little Engine That Could". He is almost four years old now and he uses it on his bed and still puts things inside the pockets I sewed onto the box cars.
Time Is Precious
Enjoying nature with Victoria and Maxwell at Thanksgiving Point Gardens in Utah
Wife to my wonderful husband, Val. Mother of eight and "Grammie" to two grandchildren (of course, they are adorable!) Miraculously finished all course requirements for my bachelor's degree from BYU by the April 2, 2010 deadline and graduated April 22, 2010. Lover of English literature, quilting (hence the blog title), classical music, dancing in my kitchen when no one is watching, visiting my grandchildren, and the pink springtime blossoms in my front yard.

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. . . . Aldous Huxley
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has. . . . Epictetus
The preservation of liberty depends on the intellectual and moral character of the people. As long as knowledge and virtue are diffused generally among the body of a nation, it is impossible they should be enslaved. . . John Adams
