Ice Castles -- Midway, UT

These are just a few shots of the ice formations.  A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!

Pretty cool!  It was beautiful and we did have a great time!! Jayleigh was excited to see the princesses from Frozen.

This is what we do in Utah to amuse ourselves.  Build GIANT snow shapes.  This happens to be up on Highland drive across the street from La Caille.

How I've missed this...

Today was the first day of my 2014 Block party class.  It's been a long time since I have taught anything at the Cotton Shop, and it's so good to be back.  I love chatting with people who share the same passion for quilting as I do.

2013 was a great year,  lots and lots of great memories and fun times.

It's raining, it's pouring

Much better!!

While Debbie was here visiting, we went to a couple of fabric stores.  When we saw the sample hanging of this poncho, we knew Jayleigh had to have one.  So...

Cute, huh????
