Well, here's the latest and greatest that's come out of my sewing room:
I made this quilt almost king sized, though we sleep in a queen bed. I'm hopeful that with a quilt so big neither Dan nor I will be left without covers come morning.
I really, really love log cabin quilts and I love how this one turned out. The pattern I used came from two of my favorite local quilters that have a pattern line called
Remember When.
I'm not crazy about the machine quilting I paid a pretty penny for, so I'm on the look out for a new machine quilter. But all in all, I'm pleased with the final product and looking forward to sleeping under it tonight.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
