Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

  So glad I’m done putting these together. Can’t say I’ve enjoyed working on this project and still need to quilt and bind but really didn’t feel like doing that this afternoon.  Had enough for now, especially after I realized the mistake made and didn’t see it till after one was all completed.  Maybe you can spot it, they was no way I was going to rip out the block and move it.  Maybe my daughter won’t notice   Going to use the fabric that was used for the bow ties, for the backing   Have another finish.  Started this pair a few months ago, these were July’s free sock pattern. Which you can find on the blog Caisbod. Very cute socks but I will not make again Used Red Heart sock yarn I had in my stash.  The reason why I didn’t get to quilting the table runners was I just couldn’t stand my dirty windows  Now my window in the dining room is where a lot of my plants are. And it is quite the chore, have to move them. As you can see needed to find a place to put them and the kitchen counter

  I said I would show more of the items I have up for fall/Halloween. I’ll be honest that this wall hanging is not quite finished.

I’ve also been working on the table runners  I am so ready to be done with this and I’m far from it.

  T his is my favorite time of year, I could just go on and on about what I love about Autumn.  Beside the cooler temps and the colors of the season, it’s the way the sunlight present such beauty to everything.  Just makes me feel so contented and relaxed.   And wanting some comfort food like beef stew. This weekend I spent some time decorating the house. I will show you all of what I did but I think I’ll  do it segments. That way I can tell you about what I used, how you can make it yourself or duplicate and just get to tell you so much more.  This is the first piece I want to show.  Made this 3 years ago for a gathering for NW Arkansas quilt guilds in Roger, Arkansas. Originally saw this online and just had to make it. Really... nothing is cuter than a pumpkin full of kitties.  Poor little black one looks scared to death .... LOL I wrote a blog post here on how I went about recreating this. I believe I also mention that I eventually found instructions after I made mine. Which I also
