In between trips to the calving barns
to check on the mama cows...
I have been doing a little stitching !
Cougar Panel by Hoffman Fabrics 2018
This has been hanging around for years...
it is time to do something with this.
I pulled some fabrics from the cupboard
for a border treatment...let's see what happens.
I am thinking...Star Blocks
I do love the orange grunge background fabric...
I haven't done a lot of traditional, precision
piecing the last 10 years...
but, it came right back to me!
These star blocks are lots of FUN !
The more star blocks I made,
the more I wanted to make !
This Dolly Madison Star block
has always been a favorite of mine...
Star within a Star block
Let's get the star blocks up on the design wall
and see what shakes out:
The orange background fabric works nicely...
This is working...
I'll make more star blocks.
We haven't had the best weather conditons
for our calving season this year......sigh.
I took this photo out our back door...
it looks across the river at our 2 calving barns.
This is rough weather on our newborn calves.
The calves need lots of TLC
from the Cowboy and I.
Two weeks ago Golden Girl's calf was frozen
when we found it in 19 degree weather.
We thawed her out with
my hair dryer, tubed her full of colostrom
and she was alive a few hours later,
to our surprise!
I have been too busy to take any calf photos,
but I will when things get a bit easier.
Bye For Now...
May Your Bobbin Always Be Full,
