Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

Here we are again, another month that seem to just fly by. Its amazing considering we all seem to suffer one way or another from the weather. Here in NE Oklahoma it was extreme heat and humidity. A good thing because of it I was inside a lot, which meant I was keeping myself busy with projects. Was pretty successful too. This is going to be a picture heavy post. I'll start with the one that I had been working on the past few months the Spring Fling Shop Hop from 2015. It turned out so pretty, and next its off to the quilter.   I love how the shops had fabric made just for them, naming the towns and the state. I have also slowly been going through boxes in the garage. and in one of them I found the top I made back in 2012. It was one of Bonnie Hunters mystery quilts, Easy Street.  I didn't have it quilted at the time because I just thought it wasn't complete so I put it away. Well I saw it and realized what was missing, a boarder. It's the only one of her mysteries I hav

  I have some finishes finally….. It’s taken me a while and these are some of the socks that I shared back in May.  There were 9 pairs in various stages of completion, so I have been determined to get them done.  I was also working on other projects too and did finish a couple but right now I’ll just share the socks.  Finished 6 of the 9.  I am going to make this a short post for now but I need to continue looking for yarn labels and patterns. Will share them when I do.  Here there are, Such a pretty short stack….. This blue pair is my recipe from ones I’ve seen before. 2x2 rib that I extended on top of the foot.  The yarn I purchased online from Hobbii, fingering weight but lost the band with more info. This one I’ll have to locate the pattern and info. So autumnal and I’m counting the days until autumn. This yarn is part of my Christmas gift from my daughter.  It’s a monthly sock club from Annie’s  Just love the colors in this yarn. Now this pair is made from the same skein of yarn b

  Well, July came and went. It was a whirlwind of a month.  It has  been somewhat busy. We had family from Utah and California come to visit this month so I spent a lot of time sitting around playing cards, talking, going out to eat, you get the picture.  I was able to get a lot of knitting done, because I can do that while visiting, but not as much sewing as I was hoping.  The one big thing that I did accomplish for the month of July was getting the studio finished. The last thing done this month was to make curtains to go on the front of my ironing station and my cutting table. Very simple just did a casing to put tension rod through and now I have a beautiful studio. I just want to go in there and create all day. I’ve been able to do some of that. But right now I’m just gonna focus on telling you a little bit and post a video so you get a real good view of what my studio looks like.   Video is at the end of post I’ll just give you a brief description of some of the tasks that I went
