Dumpling Pouch...

 

Dumpling Pouch

also known as a Clam Up Pouch

I keep my quilting clips inside...

Small, Medium and Jumbo clips...

The pouches open wide and make it easy to

grab your clips...

They go together fairly easily and are FUN !

Pellon Fusible Foam helps them stay

sturdy and keep their shape.

I made a few extra as gifts and people

ooh and ahh when you give them away...

Horses in Snow.....Top Done

The Quilt Top is complete

 

All 18 paper pieced snowflakes are done...

This measures 68 inches wide...

Once it is quilted and bound

it will hang in our living room.

Good to get this one done.

Now I can get to work on a few holiday gifts.

Snowflakes...

I was able to squeeze in some stitching and 

finished up the last of the snowflake blocks

 

Intricate piecing that could only be

done by paper piecing these blocks...

The snowflakes show up really well

against this putty colored background fabric...

Every snowflake is different...

18 snowflake blocks

It took 2 days to rip all the papers off

the back side of the blocks...

The inner border has been added to the panel...

Close up view of inner border...

sparkly snowflakes

The bottom snowflake border 

is stitched into place...

The top and bottom borders are on...

Hoping to get back out to the Thread Shed

soon and put the side borders on.

We have a new square bale feeder...

It holds a ton of hay in a single feeding.

The cows like it !

We weaned the baby calves last week.

Always hate to do that, but the mama cows

need a break before they have their new

calves in the spring.

Pumpkin Placemats & Cattle...

 

Farmhouse Pumpkin Placemats

When I saw the pattern for these 

pumpkin placemats,

I had just the fabric...

I keep a few yards of black & white plaid fabric

in the cupboard for bindings...

These went together quickly...

Lots of FUN to create !

They are a gift and already out the door !

You can find the pattern here:

We have been feeding cattle for

a few weeks now...

Seems like we just baled up this hay in June...

The cows know the sound of our pick ups

and meet us at the feeding grounds...

Everybody shows up for breakfast each day...

This is sweet, little Goldie with her

calf  "cocoa puff",  the grands named him...

She is a little cow that raises

great, big steer calves !

This is Doll Face...

Oh, how I LOVE that girl !
