Hi Guys its Kendall. I just wanted to share some things about my husband with everyone.
If you have not heard nate wrecked on his dirt bike on November 1st out at the sanddunes he was life flighted to the U of U hospital where he had 3 Surgeries on his neck ( oh yeah he broke his neck and smashed his spinal cord and is paralized from the chest down ) in the first week once he was stable he was moved to the new Intermountain houspital in Murray because the insurance wouldn't cover once he got stable. He has been doing therapy for 2 weeks and he is improving all the time. he has been so strong and amazing and hard working. he has such a positive attitude and i think and all the prayers are what have made him so stong. We don't know if he will ever be able to get any feeling back in his legs his cord was only smashed so it all depends on if the body can heel.
Well anywaise the reason i am writting this besides give everyone an up date, is my family is putting on a fundraiser. It is december 16 at Noahs in lehi.They are having dinner and a live and silent auction so if you have anything you would like to donate it would be greatly appreciated or even come down and say hi would be so great! We are also selling raffle tickets they are $5 for one or $25 for 6. First prize is a Vespa scooter, Second is a TV and sourrond sound, and third is a Laptop so there are some cool prizes I am going to put a few links on the bottom of this post in case anyone is interested. Thanks for all the support and prayers they have definatly been felt and appreciated!

Explination
well i had every intention of making it to pickle today I even got my blocks finished which is an accomplishment, but all week long I had it in my head that it was at 2.00pm and when i looked at the invitation and saw that it was at 11 I scribbled down some directions grabbed the baby and my blocks and took off towards Lehi. well when i got to the general area my directions were no and i totally got lost. Then after 20min of searching i gave up and came home. sad!! i still have my blocks if you need them but i can totally understand if you don't. I am so glad that this week is over! Everything has been going wrong i feel like I am loosing my mind!!

Binding tip...
Ok so I recently visited a quilt store to purchase some fabric for my beautiful polka dot quilt, so it had to be just right. I found one I had to have , took it to the counter only to find out there was not enough of it, the lady at the store told me she had more of it at home and did not use it but it was already cut up for binding on the bias. So I told her I had never done the binding like that, I do a ONE piece binding she convinced me that it was not that big of a deal. WRONG. The only reason I did it cause it was perfect for what I needed and it was already cut, but never and I mean NEVER again will I do it that way. Big pain in the (you know were) . So if the lady's at the store want to cut your fabric for you on the bias, tell them NO thank you!!! There are just to many seams to sew. Hope this helps you.

A response to:
To pre-wash or not to pre-wash
So, i was always told that i need to prewash my fabric before i start a project, but a freind told me that she never pre-washes her fabric. So i am asking your opinion on the subject.
( This is mostly a stab at crappy Wal-Mart fabric. Sorry if anyone uses it, but it really can not be compared to 'quilting fabric' from legit stores. I get mad when I see ladies scrambling to buy their $1-$2 dollar flannel to make into humanitarian blankets for little, sweet babies in foreign countries. Don't they know those blankets have to be washed on a rock for heck sake? Look at it sometime. It's woven like cheese cloth! You can see right through it!!) OK. Rant over.
Official advice: Pre-shrinking won't hurt, but it won't necessarily help anything either. If you get your groove on while ironing, go for it! If you have 20,000 other things to spend your time on, don't bother unless the specific fabric requires it, like flannels or wools that you want to felt.

My camera is not very good so, sorry about the quality of the pictures. Enjoy all of the projects you all are working on. On to the next one for me! Maybe I can make the next one last a little bit longer!

New Fabric
This is my cute new fabric that i got. I am going to do another flower blanket for Ashlyn in this:


The second picture is a preview to what it might look like I have not decided if I want to randomize the background or leave it in blocks or do something completely different. Any help would be great!
Fabric Find
These are a few fabrics I found as I was paying for a clearance piece I found and out of the corner of my eye I spotted Pink turtles, then I saw pink frogs AHHHHHH!!!! How often do you see pink frogs? NEVER!!! So I had to get them, I don't know what I will do with it yet But I will think of something I'm sure. Two yard of each should be enough.
