Whats going on?

Well, its been a while but its hard to blog from my ipad!  And, I'm a great procrastinator. BIL and SIL came to visit and helped us with our latest project.  What do you think this is all about?

Look at this good-looking team! ..

And did you guess yet?   We are replacing all the previous electric fence with sheep worthy fencing.   We ended up with 6 different sized areas that will be great for rotational grazing, as well as the paddock.

AND, if you asked 'when are the sheep coming?'  You owe me a sheep!.

Cold weather present from my friend

A few weeks ago when it was still COLD here, a friend of mine made me some working mittens.  They are open so I can type with my fingers.  Since we were trying to save energy and only using the firewood insert for heat, my office was very cold.  These mittens were AWESOME!   Thank you Anna Marie.  

Nellie's quilt

Randy's Aunt Nellie asked me to finish sewing and do the quilting on this quilt from a 2007 shop hop. I am very pleased with the final product and these are my best feathers to date!

and here's a closeup .

Spring snow and dog play!

Just a few days ago we had almost 80 degree weather. Today we got 5-6 inches of snow! Here are some of my daffodils braving their snowy coat. I hope they survive! I should have cut some to bring inside, but you know how that goes.


The dogs wanted to go out so I brought my camera. Here is Callie, you can't tell but she has snow on her nose, silly girl.
And last is Fly after the play. She was the only one to collect snow balls like this. I had to give her a bath to get them all off.

Enjoy the videos of them playing. I thought they were all cute.

Stay warm and I hope this melts quickly!

Do you know this block.

I remember seeing this block, I drew four of them below, on someone's blog last year.  It is a very simple block but i loved the star created when you twisted them as below.  Does anyone know where to find it?

Thanks!

Snow and dogs

Here is a video of the dogs playing in the snow pre-blizzard. 


and here are some dog pictures from the last few months.

More longarm quilting

Sorry its been so long in between posts! We had Christmas, finished the quilting room, herding, and work continues to get in the way of life! I'm not complaining though, I still have a job.

Here are some pictures of quilting I have done in the last few months.
