Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

It's been a nice rainy day, a slow steady rain.  Something we have needed so badly.  Since I finished those tops yesterday, I spent the day prepping a couple things.  Did 10 more Retro Air-Ship Propeller blocks.  Had cut out most of the pieces but was lacking some of the background.  Doing it old school, with cardboard templates. Did that.   Then started on a new one I had picked up the fabric last year on the bus trip we had at the shop.   Loved the fabric, hard to describe.  It is textured woven not printed designed. Colors are muted taupes.   It is from Fons and Porter magazine and is all flying geese. 120 of them. That's if I do the size in the magazine, have enough to make it a little bigger if I want.  I been meaning to show how many eggs the girls are giving out now.  It ranges from 6 - 8 eggs a day and this is 3 days worths.  I'm back in the eggs business now.  Some show and tell from tonight.

OK... I'm a day early here but not in Australia and Europe. Cat lap quilt is completed. Was able to get the border on first thing this morning. Turned out so nice.  Took pictures on the wall and outside. So next up was the blocks for the friendship quilt. Ended up with an odd number of blocks, which when it came to laying it out I just had to do the best I could figure out, wasn't too bad. It will work. Cut the corner unit and side triangles  And even was able to get this all put together. Not bad, it only took me 8 years to finish. It was a good day  2 completed tops.

It is hard to believe it is February seeing how it was 85 outside and very windy on top of it. Did a little work outside but did spend some time sewing too. That was before going out for an early Valentine dinner. Since it's on Tuesday we would not be able to go out that night. Excellent steak. I was going to start on this month's RSC but realize I had already started one last year and decided I would finish it off this month. I'll make backs for these and quilt them. So then I decided I would work on something for my youngest daughter. Had plans of making this for Christmas. Had bought this kits... gosh.. some years ago. Not a difficult project. Cut up the panel and add in some color fabric filler with a few flying geese and square in a square. In six hours I was able to get main section pieced and now the border is ready to attach. My daughter loves cats and bright colors so this will be perfect for her. It

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's finished finally.... My Words to Live By Well almost I still need fill in the center block and put my name on. Started this in 2014 and other than the quilting it is done. Measures 86 x 86 and have no idea how many pieces, all I can say is a heck of a lot. I think around 780 HST Tried taking pictures outside, was able to capture a few but it was awfully windy.   My happy dance confessions of a fabric addict crazy mom quilts fort worth fabric studio quilting readers garden

The past two days I have been so busy the past couple of days that I didn't have a chance to write this before now.  So here goes. For Today the simple woman Looking out my window and seeing the parking lot of the hair salon I'm at. You see it's time to get my hair done. I have to say I like the view out my home so much better I am thinking about doing a 5k, walking not running. I was never a runner. Cycling was my thing when younger.  I am thankful for a strong heart yesterday I had a treadmill stress test and all is good. And I have no reason to get out and exercise like I had in the past. The pain in my chest is from another reason. Looking at some sort of indigestion problem. One of my favorite things is my morning cup of coffee.  I am sewing on Words to Live By quilt. I'm in the home stretch. I will be so pleased when I'm done, it has taken me awhile to get this far.    I am wearing ..  Black yoga pants with a black

Up on the wall today was Words To Live By. When I put it away before Christmas had 2 side of the outer broader and part of the third completed.  Once I get all these HST sewn together that's pretty much it. As I was putting the HST up on the wall I realize that there wouldn't be enough. I was 32 short. Not sure how that happen but seeing how there was over 300, I must've missed counted. I do also need to write my name and date on one of the corner blocks.    This morning is what I woke up to... Bob found a roll of toilet paper and enjoy tearing it up. What a mess but he is so cute. posted this sunday Now while looking I came across a BOM I had purchased 17 years ago. Never did start it. At the time I thought it was cute but now I just do not want to make anymore.  So I want to sell it. At the time it was $10.00 a month. But know I can not get what I payed for it and that's OK
