Girls days

So I have been spending a lot of time over at Aubrey's house. Mary told me at dinner that Tanner was missing me all day. How sweet is that? I've been going over there to try to help her out. She is making a wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress for a lady in the ward, so I go over and distract the girls as well as I can. I'm always wiped out at the end of the day, but I have a ton of fun with them.

On Saturday she took a day off from the sewing and took a trip over to Pueblo with me she brought her kids an her friend Julia. I have been wanting to go for awhile to get stuff for the quilt I want to make for my baby girl and to get stuff for the baby shower. We had a really great time and I got the cutest fabrics for my quilt. I also couldn't resist a couple of fabrics so I decided I would make baby a couple dresses for church since I haven't found any dresses I like in the stores.

Today Aubrey, Julia and I had a sewing party. We all brought our sewing machines and we went to town on our projects. I was so happy to have Julia to help me pick out fabrics and to help me figure out some of the quilt stuff today. She is a semi experienced quilter and this is the first real one I've attempted. (I made one from my high school t-shirts and it turned out horribly.) I am doing really well on this one though. It came together really nicely and very quickly. I finished the whole front of it today. Now I have to do the hard part, the actual quilting part. AAAHHHH! I am so intimidated by machine quilting, but don't think I would ever finish it if I did it by hand. I have been watching videos of people doing it and it looks so easy when they do it, but I know its going to be a challenge for me.

Since it is Memorial Day today some of the people in the ward invited s to come to the park for a BBQ. It was fun and the food was good, but I didn't stay very long because my back was KILLING me and the wind was so strong it was draining my strength or sanity, I don't know which,. Mary suggested getting in the big jetted tub when I got home and it did the trick. I feel much better and my back feels relaxed. Hurray for jets and warm water!
