Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

I did it again, missed a day on the  I have done better than I thought I would, especially since my blog has been neglected last month.  Well yesterday I tended to a few things around here and then I needed to finish next month BOM for the 30's club After it was done drove over to Siloam Springs to drop these off at the quilt shop. We visited for a while and I was given a pattern for the next stash buster. Stash Busters meet ever other month at the shop and I had to miss the meeting because I'm at the Master Gardening class on that day so Pam gave me the pattern. It is a free pattern by Windham Fabric called "All Wrapped Up" http://www.windhamfabrics.net/cgi-bin/fabricshop/projects.cgi?patternID=507 Cute pattern and I have a good stash of Christmas fabric and really would like to make this. Just not sure if I can make the time. There are a few items I want to make as gifts and they will need to come first. There is a gift I finished la

I had everything ready for yesterday post, I knew what I wanted to share and even took a couple of pictures but I was just too tired to hassle with it all. You see Mom had a TEE yesterday, which meant I needed to leave the house before 8 because her test was at 11:00 and figure I would be back sometime before 3:00. She did fine and they were able to do the test but they had such a problem with getting an IV in that it was 3:00 by the time she was done. That meant I had 5 hours of sitting around waiting.   I did put to good use and was able to finish the corner blocks for the Retro Air-Ship Propeller. Was so hoping I could get the border finished today but was to busy cleaning after being gone everyday this week, the house was a mess. Also crochet a couple more little hats and  work a little on my hexes. I do have quite a few done and need to get a picture made to show. And also found the fabric to use between the diamonds. I'll get that all out tom

Been making progress on quilting. like I said thou slowly. Have another quarter section done. On to another   For some reason I can not get the pictures turned in the right direction...so sorry.

Here it is Day 11 and to think Christmas is 2 weeks away I wanted share a little before I go to bed. Since last night I was able to get another 5 hats completed. In fact you can see that one is a deeper red, well that is because I ran out of yarn and had to go get some soft red yarn.  I purchased 3 skeins and I'm good to go now. I off to bed now, till tomorrow

What a perfect Sunday and feeling blessed.... which hope yours is too. Was able to get a little sewing in this morning, this Tuesday is 30's Club and I want to have Jan. and Feb. BOM ready to give Pam so she can make up kits for participance. Along with sewing I cooked up a double batch of no-salt spaghetti sauce to share with my parents. Tomorrow mom has her CHF check up and just give it to them. This evening I plan on doing a few more hats to donate to http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Affiliate/Little-Hats-Big-Hearts_UCM_487734_SubHomePage.jsp I am running out of this soft red yarn.  Do have this  but I find it scratchy which I can use on something else, so maybe when in Tulsa I'll go by Joann's or something to get some soft yarn. And work on weaving up some more wash clothes. I have 2 blooming poinsettia plants (Euphorbia pulcherrima) so far this year and it is one of my favorite houseplants that I eagerly wait each ye

It's been warming up a little, at least it was in the 50's and sunny. I have to admit I had a slow day today. Slept in and then after coffee and such I was off to my parents to take them the soup and salads. While there I worked on slippers for myself. Had one foot completed and needed to finish up the other. This evening is what I did. Yeah..... on my feet and keeping the warm. I wish I had a housekeeper. I live far enough out that I hadn't found one yet..... so until then I do have something thats second best, an iRobot vacuum  and I love it. Have had it for a year now and realized I hadn't changed the air filter. What do you think....I believe its past due. Day 9 it is for the 

I was so busy yesterday away from the house that by the time I made it back, I was so tired to write anything. Spent the day at Mom and Dads then had a class that evening. I've been taking our county's  Master Gardener program since last month. It is a 10 week course, which we are about half way through. Last night was on Annuals and Perennials, so love ever moment. While at moms I had taken a couple of the corner blocks for the Retro Air-Ship Propeller to work on . Have one more left to prep and I'll be one step closer to the finish. This morning I was able to get an hour in quilting on Scandinavian Christmas and this is what was accomplished,    outlined the animals and a portion of this sections frame. This wall hanging has been a pleasure to work on for me. Yesterday I realized I needed to do more for my parents and making more meals for them is where I can step up. Found a couple of cookbooks to get me started. These here are b
