Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

A lot has happened these past few weeks. My mom has been in and out of the hospital again and then it's follow up visits with the specialists. She is doing good but CHF  (congestive heart failure)  is a day by day challenge. For some people it is hard to change their diet and other habits that are needed when you have CHF . My mom is one of those people and for that reason is why she is dealing with it now. Makes me think about my own stubborn habits and vow to myself to do better so I can prevent future health issues. My youngest daughter was also home for two weeks and I can say with confidence I have a new quilter in the family. She picked out the fabric (with help from Pete) and pattern, cut the pieces and almost completed sewing the top together. Looking great. Myself have done very little sewing again.  Was able to put half of the borders on the Retro Air-Ship Propeller. Which meant I did not make my goal for last month. 

Spicier Life CAL started today, which is a crochet along that Sandra over at Cherry Heart has designed. Will be a sampler blanket and will be perfect for me to have a chance to use up some of my stash. Here is what I have so far come up with... out of what I have  and out of the 14 different colors needed I was able to find 9 that were close to the colorway I liked the best. These are her colorways and mine will be closer to the top right She gives a chart of the colorways she offers in kits but also leaves a space for us to use if we want to use yarn we have. The picture doesn't show the true color. I just do not have many pinks or peachy colors so I will need to purchase, 5 is better than 14 skeins. Each week she will put out a new part. Today is part 1 and there will be 6 part. I plan to start this after I get the slippers I'm working on done, which I hope to start before part 2 starts next Tuesday. If you crochet and have
