Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's finished finally.... My Words to Live By Well almost I still need fill in the center block and put my name on. Started this in 2014 and other than the quilting it is done. Measures 86 x 86 and have no idea how many pieces, all I can say is a heck of a lot. I think around 780 HST Tried taking pictures outside, was able to capture a few but it was awfully windy.   My happy dance confessions of a fabric addict crazy mom quilts fort worth fabric studio quilting readers garden

The past two days I have been so busy the past couple of days that I didn't have a chance to write this before now.  So here goes. For Today the simple woman Looking out my window and seeing the parking lot of the hair salon I'm at. You see it's time to get my hair done. I have to say I like the view out my home so much better I am thinking about doing a 5k, walking not running. I was never a runner. Cycling was my thing when younger.  I am thankful for a strong heart yesterday I had a treadmill stress test and all is good. And I have no reason to get out and exercise like I had in the past. The pain in my chest is from another reason. Looking at some sort of indigestion problem. One of my favorite things is my morning cup of coffee.  I am sewing on Words to Live By quilt. I'm in the home stretch. I will be so pleased when I'm done, it has taken me awhile to get this far.    I am wearing ..  Black yoga pants with a black

Up on the wall today was Words To Live By. When I put it away before Christmas had 2 side of the outer broader and part of the third completed.  Once I get all these HST sewn together that's pretty much it. As I was putting the HST up on the wall I realize that there wouldn't be enough. I was 32 short. Not sure how that happen but seeing how there was over 300, I must've missed counted. I do also need to write my name and date on one of the corner blocks.    This morning is what I woke up to... Bob found a roll of toilet paper and enjoy tearing it up. What a mess but he is so cute. posted this sunday Now while looking I came across a BOM I had purchased 17 years ago. Never did start it. At the time I thought it was cute but now I just do not want to make anymore.  So I want to sell it. At the time it was $10.00 a month. But know I can not get what I payed for it and that's OK

Today started out dreary but ended up being really nice outside. I too started out on the yucky side but ended up feeling good, So did a little reading and finished the book I was reading  10% Happier by Dan Harris and I enjoyed it very much. It wasn't what I thought it would be but good all the same. It was his personal journey to learning and using meditation. Not at all boring even though it was more of his life and not on how. Did do a little machine sewing on the last month of the 1930's Farmers Wife. And handwork on a  Warm Hearts block. So far my hand has not been bothering me much. Been able to get up to a couple hours in at times.  Happy camper here...   I was looking for an extra piece of fabric I know I had just recently and you would think that I could find it with no problem, seeing how my room on so clean.  But no, apparently I must of put it in a good spot. I need just 2 - 2" squares of the

I spent the day in Tulsa at the Oklahoma Native Plant Society 2017 Indoor Outing. The theme for all speakers was  landscaping with native plants. They spoke on plants that attract wildlife and pollinators. Oklahoma has a large variety of plant families, 172. And over 2600 plant species.   So today we were shown only a small portion of native plants here but a good idea of what I can plant in my yard. Now my challenge is to find natives that the deer will not eat. They seem to like most stuff.  While there I picked up a couple new books   A Guide To Oklahoma Wildflowers  and Landscaping for Wildlife. I had a few of the other books they had.  There was some nurseries with plants for sale and exhibitors from Audubon Society, Monarch Watch, Oklahoma Wildlife Dept., Kerr Center and local Master Gardeners. I was so happy that I was able to go because if I have had the surgery, there would of been no way I could of gone. And another big surprise was that

It's February and time to share what my one goal for the month will be. But before I do that I would like to update on the surgery that was suppose to have today for Carpal Tunnel. I've been having discomfort for some time in the upper abdominal area but haven't yet pinpointed the cause. Had an ultrasound done this past week and gave no clue. So as precaution we'll reschedule and do a few other test.  Otherwise I feel fine. So now to my goal... Since I have all the embroidery done on the Friendship blocks and trimmed down.....it's time to put it together. This is it so far. It will of course be set on point and as of right now I'm not sure if it will have a border or not.  My thoughts are not to use this quilt on a bed but do look forward to displaying it.... so size is not an issue. I expect this be an easy goal as long as I don't run into no problems. Linking up at Elm Street Quilts sew fresh quilts

What's up on the wall is this coming months stash busters pattern. Have all the single units sewn and or cut, ready to be assembled. Referring to yesterday this is probably what I should of been working on but I had thought about it and I figure if I do not get this done before Thursday, I'll probably be capable of machine sewing before hand sewing. While writing this made me think about when stash buster was happening and if I'll be able to go. And no I won't be able to go, it's the same day of surgery. BUMMER. Oh well I can show it in Aprils meeting. Linking up with patchwork times love laugh quilt cooking up quilts ems scrapbag
