I am trying out another improv technique
Pick Up Stix
I pawed through the scrap bag and pulled out
my Marcia Derse fabric scraps...
these are so FUN and have a grunge look...
I found this marble/stone like fabric
in the cupboard...
I had enough to cut
30 squares @ 6 1/2 inches...
I cut the Marcia Derse fabrics into
1 inch strips...
It is now time to cut into the squares and
insert these strips...
This is the first pick up stix block...
I have lots more blocks to piece.
I will post again when the blocks are done.
We have been calving for 6 weeks now
and have 51 calves so far.
Here is some cuteness for you:
A beautiful heifer calf...
she is a keeper.
Golden Girl has a bull calf
that looks just like her !
We call this heifer calf...Beauty

Love your 'pick up stix' blocks!!!! But have to say I love your calf pictures more!!!! :)

Golden Girl had a beautiful calf!!! Will you be keeping him to add to your lineup of bulls?? Your blocks are really cool, but your calves steal the show!
ReplyDeleteYes, that baby bull calf is cute, but we don't keep our own bulls. We purchase outside bulls every few years to keep that hybird vigor going in our cattle. Yes, those baby cows do steal the show!
