Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

I'm back. I thought I would share some more.  Like I said last time, seeing how it's been so long I have a lot to share..... Past and Present I should start with the finishes, and the quilt shown last week that was getting the binding sewn on, is now done and ready to display next month.    The pattern is Hocus Pocus and I used a jelly roll and layer cake for the pumpkins. Did add some scrap green I had and for the background I used my favorite Kona Snow. I like it because it reads white but it's not a true white so it's not as stark.  The quilting on this has vines and leaves like a pumpkin but  does not have pumpkins, but I think I like it all the same. Now I have to figure the next quilt to add binding to. Have a stack of quilted quilts needing their binding. I'll will share more about that next time, back to now. The next two finishes I hadn't shown yet. I always like to have a "to go" project to take with me whether it's an appointment, a driv

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 didn’t have a chance to post earlier because I have been visiting with my youngest daughters at her place this weekend. I left Friday and had a great time with her.  We went to the farmers market there in Stillwater  Not a very big market but the vendors there were very nice. Had a good variety of veggies and fruits. Couple of bakery’s and fresh meat.  We then went and had breakfast, afterward we went to the library for a book sale.  I found a couple books for myself and quite a few on the Civil War for “the man of the place” He is a big history buff on the Civil War.  While in Stillwater had to go to the OSU Gardens.  Been a couple years since I’ve been to the gardens. They have done a lot of changes and all so beautiful. I just love going there. I get so inspired each time. they film a weekly garden show there on PBS but you can see them also on YouTube. Oklahoma Gardening is what to look for.  Here are just a few pictures  There was also yard art. These pieces made from dinnerware
