Hay Season & Feathers...

 

Work before Play



I spent the day on my little red tractor...





It was nice and cool out...

a perfect day for mowing hay



Look what I found:


Elk Antler





Elk herds spend a lot of time 

grazing in the hay fields,

and in the Spring the 

bull elk shed their antlers...





I kept my eye out, but didn't find any others.





It was a beautiful day outdoors !



When I came home I was

itching to do some stitching:


I pulled out a yard of hand dyed fabric

and put together a quilt sandwich 

and just played...






I have been doing so much piecing,

I forgot what it was like to machine quilt...





YLI Variations Thread

Always a favorite of mine !






High Contrast.....yellow on blue






Very satisfying !

A perfect way to end the day.

  1. Would that Elk antler damage your mower? Glad you saw it first!

    1. Hi Mary, That is a great question! I did run over the antler. I never would have seen it in the tall grass......I saw it laying in the mowed grass. The hay mower is super powerful, I don't think the antler could have damaged it.

      Happy Summer,
      LuAnn

  3. That fabric would make a beautiful tote bag or pillow.

    1. You are reading my mind Vicki! How are your bird babies doing? We have 3 nests of tree swallows and they are busy feeding their babies right now.
