No Quilting....yet

Haven't made it out to the Thread Shed...yet

We are finishing up landscaping...

this time in the front yard...

The bark dust will keep down the weeds...

and keep the beds from drying out this summer...

The soaker hoses are in place...

The rhodies are mulched too...

We are out of bark dust.....YES!

The yearlings watched the yard work from the fence

Gunnr kept us company until the job was done!

I am always happy to share my photography...

Here are a few images you are welcome to use

in your personal art work, if you wish...

Flowers.....from photo to fabric

The seedlings in the green house are up...

Indian Spring Hollyhocks are a favorite...

Image of an Orange State Fair Zinnia...

The image is now painted on fabric...

It was later quilted and bound.

We were outside today finishing up yard work...

The elk are enjoying the hay field...

They were watching us work in the yard...

They are a beautiful cinnamon brown 

this time of year...

Thread Shed.....Landscaping not Quilting

No Quilting going on today in the Thread Shed...

The closest I will get to the Thread Shed is...

the outside of it.....not the inside

We are weeding and mulching

the flower beds today...

The soaker hoses have been all stretched out...

The Thread Shed is ready for summer!

I use old bed frames along the side

 of the Thread Shed...

they work great for supporting tall flowers.

The little red building on the right

 is the hen house....

The hens keep me company...

I can hear them 

when I am working in the Thread Shed

The hens are truly happy today...

they are eating all of the weeds we pulled

They are scratching through the weeds

 and gently clucking.

After all of the landscaping is done around here...

I am hoping to spend time inside the Thread Shed

getting the Zinnia Raffle Quilt completed.

Zinnia Raffle Quilt....Under the Needle

Today I am quilting the Zinnia Quilt...

It was created by:

The Harlan Valley Quilters of Oregon

It will be donated to:

The Women's Cancer Coalition

I turned off the lights so the stitching shows up better...

I just couldn't resist stitching lots of feathers...

Check out the un-quilted part on the right...

Quilting definitely makes the Quilt!

We are enjoying the Iris bed in front of the house:

The brown Iris are always a favorite...

Gerber Daisies:

As always, I am glad to share my photography.

Feel free to use these images

 in your personal art work.
