I had a good week. I attended my quilter's group, my crochet group, a concert for one of my grandsons, a bishopric dinner and the highlight was a trip to the temple with most of my children in Utah. There aren't words to describe how nice that was. At this time in our lives, we could have no greater blessing. I learned how crochet a baby sweater and I worked on putting my quilt top together. I realized that I had made some errors constructing the blocks. I tried some different solutions and prayed about it. It was tempting to put it aside and think I'll just never be good at quilting. But then I realized that I had to finish it though it wasn't quite perfect. I know I'll do better on the next one and the more I do, the better I'll get. My quilters group helped me to realize that the best quilters never consider one of their quilts to be perfect. The only way for me to get better is to keep trying. Here are some pictures of some of the activities of the week. They include family waiting for the concert to begin. Here is our singer we came to see. His choir sang some of my favorite tunes from Broadway musicals. I forgot to mention I finished my Hawiian quilt block this week and made a wall hanging of it. And last of all, our family in front of the temple, reminding me that Zion is built one family at a time.
