Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

http://celebratehandquilting.blogspot.com/ I am excited about this blog hop, anytime when there is hand quilting involved, I just get tickled pink. So my quilt I want to share is my blue and white Rocky Road. T his one is what I call a true scrap quilt because the blue fabric is from  clothing that I made for my girls when they were little.   And my oldest daughter will be 40 next month so a good portion of it is not all 100% cotton, mostly blends.   I have so much fun looking at the fabric and remembering what I made.  I am using blue Coats and Clark quilting thread. It is a twin size quilt with Mountain Mist Country Rose Cotton batting. I'm about 3/4 done. I do a majority of my quilting in a hoop and as you can see I am on this one.   I had a few blocks leftover so I decided to use them on the back.  It almost looks like a whole another quilt. ...

I know I have been absent the past few days and this is why Grandma has been keeping very busy watching them for my daughter. I have been wanting to post some things I had planned before I came here but just haven't had the time or energy. But I do want to take a minute to share about something I'm very passionate about and that is hand quilting. Over at Celebrate Hand Quilting   There is a Blog Hop just dedicated to hand quilting It is already day 4 but you can still go back and view the previous days. I'll be posting something on Saturday for the hop. Hope you come back and see what I have been quilting on.

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...

My project and giveaway Here it is day 7 of the Nancy Drew is a clue Blog Hop And that means it is my day to share with you what was a mystery until just yesterday  But first I need to give a shout out to our hostess  Carol of  Just Let Me quilt  and  Madame Samm at  Sew We Quilt  ... They sure put a lot into these blog hops. When I was young I read a good many Nancy Drew books and I loved them and to this day I still love a good mystery.  Now if this is your first visit I would like to welcome you and hope that you take a minute and look around. You'll notice that I'm down to earth and like things that are useful so it would be no surprise that what I came up with is something useful. I had notice that past participance had made book bags, eye glass cases, pouches, kindle cases, etc. but I do not believe that I had seen  any hardcover book cover.  I know it's nothing fancy... ...
