Feeding Freckles...



We woke up to SNOW this morning...



View from the livingroom window...







Just outside the front door...





















The yearling cattle are at the yard fence...







Brad heads out in the field with a bucket of grain...







Freckles hurries over to meet him...








It is time for her breakfast...







Brad heads back into the house 

for his own breakfast...








Brad gives Gunnr a pat 

and they walk home together...







I can watch Freckles and the Calves 

from the kitchen window

with my eyes closed...

There is no end to these!











I am close to the half way point:


8 rings x 8 rings

104 x 104 inches


Do you think I will have this done by summer?

Baby Quilt 2......Hexagon Paper Pieced



This is the next baby quilt...




I am using the English Paper Piecing technique...







The papers are lightly glued onto the fabric...

The glue will wash right out

when it is laundered.





This is the fabric I used to pull all of the

other fabrics from...







The hexagons are basted

and ready to stitch together...














Depression Era Reproduction 1930 fabrics...








Back side of quilt top...







Just so you can see...

these are very large 3 inch hexagons...

this quilt should hand piece together quickly!
