Orange Peel Quilt.....Progress

 

This is what the design wall looked like

in February...

All of the applique' blocks are up on the 

design wall in a random, scrappy order.

I think I can do better...

I decided to group the blocks by color family:

Purples

Pinks

Reds

Blues

Grouping the blocks by color works for me...

I have more blue orange peels and flying geese

and also some yellows...

My sewing table waits for me...

More to Come !

Rooster rides Sheep...

I was passing by my neighbor's house and 

look what I saw...

 

Yes, her rooster rides around on the sheep !

He follows the sheep as they graze in the pasture

and is known to hop up on them and 

take a cozy nap...

April @ the Kessi Ranch.....

Kessi Ranch.....April 2021

 

We are half way through calving season

with 50 calves on the ground so far...

We call this baby steer.....The Road Runner

He likes to race us 

when we drive through the pasture !

The Turkey Vultures have migrated back

to Western Oregon

They greet us each morning on our way to

the calving barns...

They enjoy a solar bath when the sun rises

each morning...

Their feathers looks so beautiful

back lit by the morning sun.

Yes, it is that time of the year...

Fertilizing the Hay Fields...

The Fertilizer Spreader is loaded up...

No Time for Sewing

until the fertilizing is all done !

Scribble Stitch Cards...

It's been way too long since I did any

Scribble Stitching... 

Scribble Stitching......Note Cards

5 inch charm packs work great for this !

Also a great way to use up your fabric scraps...

Black Thread enhances the scribbling...

Handmade with Love

stamped on the back of each card...

Circles.....always a favorite

Circles with stems turn into flowers...

Yes, I had to do a few heart note cards too...

I use ribbon to package up the cards 

for gift giving...

Packaged in bundles of 4 cards...

All ready to give away...

I purchased my blank note cards with envelopes

@ Joann Fabrics

Here come the babies...

Golden Girl's Mama 

had another golden brown baby.

Yes, she is a heifer and oh so cute !

Here's the Cowboy with our newest bull calf:

We call him.....Shorty

short for Shorthorn

(there is nothing short or tiny about this big calf)

Now, round up some blank note cards,

fabric scraps, glue stick, black thread

and get to Scribble Stitching !

Screen Play Tote Bags......3 of them

 

I met up with my Monday group...

The Harlan Valley Quilters

I made more Screen Play Totes

It was so much FUN to make the black tote

that I just had to make the pink tote...

How HAPPY is this tote !

I know somebody who loves cupcakes !

The brown mesh goes great with

this horse fabric...

I dug around in the fabric cupboard and found

the light tan fabric with brands on it...

this one is staying at my house !

and then there were.....3

It is birthday season in my world,

there will be more to come !
