Christmas projects

Now that Christmas has past i can post pictures of two of the projects that I was working on for a very long time.

The first was a big jean quilt that my sister Brittney inspired. She did one for her husband and lucky for me she had leftovers and I got to use them. So i made a family quilt for us using a similar pattern and fabric. It is very heavy and warm. I still need to fray the quilt so if ever you are in the area and you have sharp scissors that you want to put to use i could use the help.

Second is a missionary memory book for Spencer. I found all of the letters that he wrote home to his family and put them in protective sleaves for easy accesability. I think that hs likes it and it didn't take too much time. However after looking though it Spencer asked "Where are all my Families letter?" I didn't know that we had those but quess what I found yesterday? All of his families letters plus missionary news letters old companion letters and member letters. I found twice as mich stuff as I had already compiled so it looks like this project still has a ways to go before completion.
I also made matching pajama pants for Spencer and Stetson, an eye cover for Spencer for those days when he didn't get enough sleep, pajamas for me, baby blankes for both Stephanie and Rachels up coming babies and 4 aprons for Mom Weyerman, Brittney, Alyssa and Bayley. My sewing machine was very busy. I am so glad Spencer got it for me two Christmas's ago.
