Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

Well I finished the appliqueing and putting the blocks together, YEA I live out in the country and at the mercy of our local telephone company providing our internet service and at times it sucks, right now my speed is 26 mbps. Suppose to be 56 - 65 mbps. Taking a long time to get things done so I'm making this post a short one. Till next time Kat =^..^= 

My prize came in the mail from Patrick Loose. And to be honest it is quite a coincident that I would win a book on baby quilts and I just happen to be becoming a grandmother for the first time.       Since my daughter is having boys I was looking for boyish quilts and I like these 3  And I have had this book for a couple of years with plans on making a couple of the quilts for what was my Grandbaby hope chest. Now they can actually go to the boys now  This Darcy Ashton" Bunnies and More" book Oh course we have to have cowboys, this is Oklahoma till next time Kat =^..^=

  This is unbelievable I wanted to share some information I received the other day. Some of you might have received it also but for those who did not I hope you go check it out. I get a newsletter from Michele over at  Quilting Gallery . and in this newsletter she had put together  a list of 60+ sites of free BOM's, quilt-a-longs, swaps, challenges and other fun things.  It will be worth your while.

Lately "the girls" are on a roll, I collected 14 eggs today. A month ago I was getting just an egg a day. I have been thinking about what has change, and first thing I thought of was they all  stopped molting,  plus the daylight hours are getting longer each day, even thou temps have been getting cooler to the most part and other than that, that's all I can think of. But no matter what the reason I'm sure enjoying have a good supply of fresh eggs. But I have been dealing with  the past couple of days of a hen eating eggs.  How many,  I'm guessing just one.  There are many reason why hens will eat their eggs. The shell could be soft or thin and break. I do not think that is the reason  because I have not been finding any plus normally in the winter the shell are thicker. Lack of protein or calcium in their diet. Oyster shells are a good addition and I do need to add some. I ran out a while back but their shells are thick and hard right now. I&

That is how I feel this morning, I have a hodge podge of thoughts in my mine. For family and friends, they know I live with my to do list/clip board and if I do not have it I'm lost. I'm sitting here this morning trying to get my idea of what I need to do today and this coming week and all I have a cluttered mess in my head. I'm afraid my post is going to reflect that also. First this is what's up on my wall and whats on my table And these projects will also go on my to do list and I going to put it out there. 1. Finish putting the sampler together   2. Start Morris Meadows by Michelle Hill 3. Finish cleaning out the pantry 4. Do some more quilting on my 30's quilt. That's my short list Now I have a question about the stash report, I started this year but really not sure about what can be counted as usage. Can we count UFO's we are working on? If you can leave an answer in comments or email me, I would gr

When thinking about what egg recipe to make this week I was wanting to try something new, something easy and a dessert.  I have heard about Buttermilk Pies but had never made one before. So I started looking for one and one thing I've learned is that most of Paula Deen recipes are just too good. I little on the rich side but very good. So I decided to change it some. I have a habit of doing this to make it just a little healthier and lower in Points (weight watchers  6 pts. 1/8 pie)  Oh my Gosh, it is sooooo gooood !!!!!!!!!  The "man of the place" said "It's good and we need more"   ***** Olivia's Buttermilk Pie Recipe courtesy Paula Deen Prep Time: 5 min Inactive Prep Time: -- Cook Time: 50 min Level: Easy Serves: 6 to 8 servings Ingredients                                                                                                         1 1/2 cups sugar    (I change to 1 cup) 1 cup buttermilk  

I had very briefly mentioned a product I use when I do an invisible style machine applique the other day and I am going to go into some detail on how. I do this needle turned look on my sewing machine. I have not invented anything new I was shown this technique by my friend Pam of  Sager Creek Quilt Shop . Also if you want to find any of these products you can purchase them there online from her shop. OK  let me get started here, I am taking part of a bee over at S tash Bee  and in our hive we were asked to make Sunni a tree block so this is mine  To help me get the fabric to turn under is this paper by Ricky Tim. It's your pattern, template, you keep it on your fabric when you sew it down and you leave it in when done. When wet or washed it becomes a soft layer of polyester fibers.   You will also need a few other items. Paper and fabric scissors, pencil for marking, glue stick (acid-free & water-solvable) I like Elmer's school purple. It is smooth, covers
