We had a fun day together for Debby's birthday. She and Madeleine and Beth and Rachel came up for the day. Audrey, Austin, Matthew, and Elizabeth joined us, and Ray was off work so I had all my children and grandchildren here. We played a couple rounds of hand & foot between rounds of taking care of children. We sat and visited. We looked at quilt patterns. Debra says for her birthday she wants us to make a quilt together - so fun! So we started looking at patterns. Next we'll go see if there are any fabrics that call our name. Then we will put both together and get going on a fun project.
Debra has loved my quilts from when I started making them. I used to have to check her luggage when she left home to make sure she wasn't taking any extra ones with her. I think there's only one I've made that she's really turned up her nose to (that's okay, I didn't like it either). Of course, we all like some quilts better than others. Coincidentally, I think my favorite two quilts I've ever made went to Debra - one for graduation from High School, one for graduation from BYU. They happen to be quilts where everything clicked - fabric, pattern and color.
Three random things I love about Debra (besides that she loves quilts):
1. She is my game playing pal: Scrabble, Yahtzee, Hand & Foot, you name it, we have fun playing it.
2. She is always looking for ways to help others, and that includes me!
3. She has a strong testimony of the gospel and lives it in every way.
