Lily's Cheesecake Cups

 Lily's Cheesecake

I help serve at the reception of a girl in our neighborhood. We have visited with her family since even before she was born. We watched her grow from a tiny little girl with two big brothers into a beautful woman who loves to sing opera. Now she also loves James and it was a great pleasure to get to help in the kitchen for her wedding recption. James' aunt made the cheesecakes for the recption. They were the no-bake kind and everyone loved them. I had to get the recipe and so I did! Here it is and I hope you love these as much as I do. I usually top them with raspberries or home made raspberry jam and homemade fudge syrup. Enjoy!

Another Quilt in memory of Kaydrie.

Every year the grandchildren and I make a quilt. This year they drew pictures of their favorite LDS Primary songs. I sewed the squares together and then we got together again so the children could tie it.

We then took the quilt to the Festival of Trees to be sold and the money donated to Primary Children's Hospital.

P R V D's quilt

This was a panel that I cut up and put back together so it would run the long way instead of  being wider than it was long. 

The back is a single piece out of the same line of fabrics. So cute for our new little boy.

Miss B's Baptism Quilt

Another baptism, another quilt. This was for my first granddaughter to be baptised. It is so fun to see what Primary songs they will pick to be placed on their quilt. Usually it is the songs they are singing that year at church. Sometimes they surprise me. Her are Miss B's Songs:

Baptismal cupcake toppers

Getting ready for another grandchild to get baptized. Here are Miss B's cupcake toppers ready to stick into White Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Yogurt.(recipe to follow) I love all the ideas I can find on Pinterest.

B K's Quilt

I had the wonderful opportunity of seeing another grandchild baptized. I loved making this quilt with him. He choose his 15 favorite Primary songs all by himself. He had very definite ideas about what he did and did not want on it. I love when people have opinions that they can express. As long as they don't have to have a fit about it. But he is a darling boy and we had a good time designing it. I love him and am so proud of him. Here is the quilt:

He wanted many of the same songs as L. (click here to see L's quilt) so I only made up a few new squares.

I know My Father Lives

As I have Loved You

For some reason he loves the Kona Hawaii temple. :)

B is interested in computers, loves his scriptures, always wants a dog and is very good at sports so that is how I came up with his center square.
