Conference Stitchery

It's snowing again today!  Aargh!  Well, conference was great this weekend, and I did get some stitchery done.


Did these dishtowels during conference.  I need to stamp another one today.  Only four more to go to have a week's worth!


This is the stitchery I have been needing to frame since 2005, when I went on trek with our ward.  We did the stitchery in the evenings after walking.  I finally framed it!

I finished reading Stolen Lives, which was really a very thought-provoking book.  You can look at a review (not by me)  on Desperate for a Good Read.  Now I'm reading a Daniel Silva book. He writes pretty much like Robert Ludlum, spy novels.

I went to genealogy class last night and learning more about getting information from the Ancestral File and Pedigree Resource File.  I will be downloading some things from there for my class in two weeks. I really like how the program (we are using Legacy) will do the typing for you for these searches. You go to the person in your file you want to search on, then do the search from there and it puts in all the information in the blanks in FamilySearch and then you just enjoy the results!  I did find some more names I didn't have on Pedigree Resource File.  I'm planning to send out some postcards to people who are listed as submitters on the names William Brown and Hannah Clark to see if I can get any source information from them.

Those towels are SO cute! I love the old fifties dishtowels. I recently inherited my grandma's old patterns so if you want more in the same style, come on over!

Kris-- I love the towels and the sampler. You do really good work. I worked on tropical bandages during conference, but you got way more accomplished than I did. They take a longer time. I'd love to see your spread sheet for food storage, and I'd love the patterns for the dish towels. I use them all the time.

p.s. did you make your own pattern for the sampler or was it stamped for you for the trek?

Cindy, I will email you the food storage spread sheet. The dish towels are just the Aunt Martha's patterns I bought and ironed on. The trek sampler was designed by one of the girls and they just pencilled it on the fabric. Thanks for commenting!
