A little slow.....

Hello friends....so, our blog has been a little slow lately. Rhonda got married and moved to Illinois, so she has been busy settling in to her new home. I (Julie) am having some computer issues:-( So, hopefully we will get some things resolved and we will have some new posts soon. Thanks for all of your support!!

Fresh Squeezed Lemonade

 Fresh Squeezed Lemonade is a god send in the summer. It is so refreshing that I could drink it everyday. Since the weather here in Utah has been about 98 degrees, our family has been drinking this a lot lately. It only takes a couple of minutes to make, but trust me.....your family will thank you. So here is how I do it.

12 lemons
1 3/4 - 2 cups sugar
10-12 mint leaves
2 cups ice cubes
Water

 The first thing I do is strain the lemons through a sieve. Add the fresh lemon juice to a gallon size pitcher. Add your sugar, water, mint leaves and ice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. If your lemonade is too sweet, add a little more ice water. The fresh mint leaves make this drink. 
Makes 1 gallon

Until now ...

This quilt was started a few months ago but I haven't been in a rush to get it done ... until now.  Until now you ask?  Well, let me explain.  I have been dating a gentleman from Illinois for well ... a long time now.  When I was visiting in January for a couple of weeks, we redid his bedroom -- from stripping wallpaper to painting, to new windows, window coverings and carpet.  It was busy but fun.

I know I always say this is my favorite fabric or that is my favorite fabric, but I truly love the lines of fabric that Kansas Troubles designs.  So, I started a quilt for Robert's room that wouldn't be too feminine and not too masculine, not too light and not too dark, but will be beautiful in the room.  Here are some of the blocks.

And .... now that I have married this man .... the quilt needs to be finished!!  Yes you heard me right.  And that also explains the lack of unfinished projects lately because I have been finishing up at work, finishing little projects, packing, getting married and moving.  However, I will still be blogging with my sister and now that I am going to be doing some decorating I will get to share with you lots of my quilts and many more I plan to make.
