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

Blogmas 2021 My "Chicken" Tree  I had made all this last year for Christmas and to be in full disclosure, I haven't taken it down. It stayed up in the corner of the living room all year. That is how much I love it Update here 12-13-21 I wrote those words and this post 9 years ago on this day. And that tree has remained up the whole time except a few years ago I changed the tree to a aluminum one. You will see the original pictures of the tree. Except the first one and this next one.  I had found a crochet pattern on Ravelry for these rooster ornament . I ended up only making one a rooster (love machine) and the rest to be my flock I have     If you leave off the tail feathers they look like hens.  So I made them to look like my flock of girls. Then I added these fake eggs I found at Hobby Lobby, except the ones in the wooden box at the bottom of the tree, they are real.  I put the rooster at the top, looking over his hens.

Finally I have another video made. This time I'm sharing some FO's, Wip's and future plans. I was able to get one of moms quilts finished. She was getting pretty weak and was hard to focus so I needed do some redoing on this top which took me a little time. Plus I just didn't have my heart into it. But I do need to get them done.  Have 2 left to do and would like to get them finished before Christmas so the girls could have them as gifts from her. Then I did get a top made for me that was originally for my daughter. Do have another one cut out but debating whether I want to finish it. There are other patterns I have cut out and ready to sew and would rather spend my time on them.  Here are links to the Granny Shawlette Helen Steward's Pebble Beach Shawl Crabapple Hill pattern for the Halloween Journey Plans for this month This one I would love to get to but the other two I will be working o

It's hump day I have so many WIP's right now there's not enough time in the day to work on them. I really need to get busy. Which I'm trying. Here is a WIP I started 3 years ago This is the first diamond I've worked on this year. I had a bag of the hexies with some fabric that I needed to be able to work more on this quilt. And for the life of me I could not find it anywhere, I thought I could of lost it last October when I took Mom and Dad to California. I keep all the stuff for this quilt in this small suitcase I found at a flea market and it wasn't in there.  But I found the bag this past weekend. It was in the truck we use sometime when go somewhere. You see the "Man of the place" thinks my Subaru is just to small, "made for hobbits" Well in the glove compartment was my bag of hexies.    Now it's back in the suitcase. This afternoon I worked on one of the granddaughters quilts my step-mother started. I'm hoping to get this one don
