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.
5 more hay fields to mow.
More To come...

Would that Elk antler damage your mower? Glad you saw it first!
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
Your quilting is so fun! I bet it felt great to just play!
Thank You Tammy! Yes, it was a great deal of FUN....makes me want to get out there and get to it!

That fabric would make a beautiful tote bag or pillow.
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.
Hugs,
LuAnn
