Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

It has been so nice today, morning temps in the fifties and a sunny fall day. Started my day with a 3.5 mile bike ride....which felt great. Later I put a turkey in the oven to slow cook, the "man of the place" ask if I could make a turkey with some the of fix'en, said he has been craving this for a month now. I know Thanksgiving is just a little over a month away but I couldn't convince them to wait.    I do have to say it was very tasty and we will have plenty of leftover since it's just two of us. This evening I will spend time sewing the binding on the William Morris. I enjoy sewing down binding, find it relaxing. Earlier today I did finish my daughter slippers and they turned good but I personally like the other pattern I made a couple weeks ago. Now I'm wanting to Spicier Life CAL Hope all is well for you.  Linking up with Kathy's Quilt

I haven't done a one month goal in quite a while and I'm a person who likes goals, gives me something to keep me on track and there are times I need that. So this month I pledge to be the month I finally finish the Retro Air-Ship Propeller top. Now I would love to say that it will quilted and bound but I know my limitations and it is not going to happen. But that is okay... each step is a step closer to being completed. To think I started this a little over a year ago, September 2016 to be exact with Karen at Quilt Etc . and Deb at Frugal Little Bungalow  I believe Karen is done with her and Deb is like me, still working on her's. So that is it.... Octobers One Month Goal and linking up at Elm Street 

For Today Looking out my window I see the beginning of the leaves turning colors and the absents of hummingbirds. Will need to take down the feeder and clean to store till next year. I am thinking about what I need to finish for Christmas. I have some quilts and other projects started that just have a little something to have them ready. I am thankful (one word) FAMILY One of my favorite things I am creating slippers for gifts. Found this really cool pattern for crochet slippers that have a knitted look. I am wearing grey yoga pant and white and grey striped woven shirt. Really thought it was going to be a little cooler today when I dressed this morning. I just wishing it was I guess, so I was a little warm today. I am reading I am hoping To be by the end of the month, cycling 6 miles at a time. Right now it's 3 miles....4x's a week I am learning about more on the country, foods, traditions and culture of

It was another day of taking my mom to a doctor appointment and her test came out just fine, thank god. While waiting I was able to finish one slipper to the pair. And seeing how I will be driving mom to her HCE meeting tomorrow I'll be able to get the other one started. While in Tulsa she was up to going to Hobby Lobby because she needed something so while there I looked for some yarn to go with the CAL. Found a couple I think will work. Do need to find a soft peachy color and a copper like one. This evening was able to get a little sewing in. Yesterday I had trimmed the Michelle Hill's BOM from a few years back, to get ready for the binding. I did not quilt this myself, Pam at Sager Creek did. She does a beautiful job, love the cross-hatch and outlined the applique. So this is one of things I was able to do, still need to finish it off by hand. antique thimble holder               

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

Here it is October, just love this month. Mainly because our anniversary is this month. Up on the wall is the Vintage Garden and slowly making progress. I can say that it is 2/3 completed as far as the applique is concerned. Starting to come together don't you think. This one too has been in the making for a long time. Think maybe I started it 10 years ago or so. Seems like I have a lot of projects around here that been in the works for years. Sure feels good getting them finished. Did some more crocheting on the slippers today while at mom's. Have the heel done and now working on the foot part. Coming along nicely and will make a nice gift. Never did show you the cool egg holder I found last month. It holds 18 eggs. Looks so pretty sitting out on the counter. I know I have mentioned this before but as long as I do not wash the eggs, they can stay out for a month without any problems. One of the benefits of having chickens and fresh eggs.
