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

It was a perfect day for sewing, temps were cold fire was burning, making the house toasty. And me in my comfy clothes.... So this morning while having my coffee and watching Morning Joe, I quilted a little more on Scandinavian Christmas I am such a slow quilter, thank goodness my livelihood doesn't depend on it. I think I might take Chookyblue's advice, go ahead and hang it up even if it's incomplete. After a few chores and as little as possible cleaning I went on to finish the Rudolph and Santa pillow cases.  Next step is to get them off in the mail to the grandsons. Seeing how yesterday I mailed off the first set, not a great rush, Friday should be okay. Did finish the binding last night on the Vintage Christmas and went ahead hung it up in the living room So cute and makes me feel the need to get the decorations down and put the house in the Christmas spirit, Now days the holidays vary from year t
