Dresden Plate Quilt.....

1930's Depression Era

Reproduction Fabrics

400 pieces.....cut out last evening

I enjoy working with these fabrics so much,

cutting 400 pieces......went by quickly.

I snuck into the Thread Shed for a couple of hours

to stitch a few of these beauties together...

20 blades per block...

20 blocks needed for this quilt top...

I managed to sew 6 blade units together,

then it was time to go across the river

and check for new calves...

Here is our newest baby.....Calf Number 32

A tender moment between

Mama Cow and her bull calf

On the right is Big Marv...

he was raised on a bottle 2 years ago.

He welcomes all of the new babies...

we call him Uncle Marv.

Our little goat herd is growing...

the new kid goats are over 2 weeks of age

and growing so quickly.

It was over 80 degrees the last few days...

the goats still have their winter hair

and they are suffering a bit from the heat.

Jelly Roll Rug.....DONE

This is my first attempt at creating a

Jelly Roll Rug

I truly enjoyed the process...

To keep it flat...

I used Best Press and I ironed it after I stitched

each and every round.

Painted Canvas....Zipper Bags

Painting yards of canvas is.....FUN!

Painted Canvas

Then slice up the canvas for projects...

I recently made these 2 tote bags

I had a few leftover pieces...

I made these little zipper bags with them...

I cut the corners and squared the bottom...

They are a good size for make up, etc.

Messy Painted Canvas...

always a FAVORITE of mine !

I enjoy using primed canvas that I purchase online from Dick Blick Art Supplies. Here is the link to the canvas: https://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-medium-weight-cotton-canvas-rolls/

You can also purchase unprimed canvas aka Duck Cloth at Joann Fabrics.
