The Ellsworth's had a family reunion this August up in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was so fun to be with everyone, and we always had some sort of activity going on. The one that I came up with was to make a quilt for mom and dad (Mar Mar and Paw Paw) with all of our handprints...kids, spouses and grandkids. So, my mother-in-law who has a gajillion fun patterns had a book with fun things to do with handprints, and since mom and dad live in Seattle, where it's always at least cloudy, we thought it would be fun to make everyone's hands into umbrellas. 
So...don't know if you can see my quilting on this up-close and personal picture, or not, but this hand is supposed to look like an umbrella...and all the blue spots are our fingerprints for rain. I finally finished it, just have to make a tag that will say..."Bless this Blanket, to keep you from the Weather!"
