They Dared Me to Mama

Hi Y'all, Thanks for stopping by to visit me and "The Ranch Patrol" 
 Who happen to be in a bunch of trouble right now !  (Short story follows. )
I love blog hops! They're "sew" much fun, don't you think ? 
During this hop, I've certainly found more blogs I like, with oodles of information and tons of inspiration.
Christine ,*giggle* and  Madame Samm ,
 Many thanks to you girlies for putting it all together for the rest of us to enjoy !  
"Sew", here's is the quilt I made for this hop.
I call it....... Butter and Marmalade !

Why Butter ? Because, the Kona cotton I chose for the background 
reminds me of smooth, sweet, creamy butter!
Why Marmalade Because I used Bonnie and Camille's  fabric they call Marmalade!
 I love those cows on the butter box.

The backing and binding arrived in the mail today from Fort Worth Fabric Studio. 
I'm so anxious to get it quilted !  

I put together a Butter and Marmalade Tutorial you'll find it up in the tabs ,
 If, your "sew" inclined to go take a look.

I have a "Tidbit" about that board with the reflector on it in the tutorial.

"Sew" here's the story .
I was trying to get out of the wind, so I went down to the barn to take pictures.

I had the quilt below with me so I could take picture of it. While my back was turned.......
 ONE of the Ranch Patrol peed on it !  I know, disgusting !!
 Of course I washed it RIGHT AWAY......well, right after the entire Ranch Patrol got a good chewing out with a few choice words ! 
 I made it in 1994 out of actual 1930's fabric that a lady named Fanny gave to me.
 It's hand appliqued and hand quilted
 It looks better after being washed anyway.
"Sew" sorry for the dark picture, taken in the house, cloudy day, ya da ya da.

Meanwhile, back at the house...
No one has confessed to the crime..... as of yet.
Just look at that innocent  face .

I've been blown away at all the beautiful things people have made for this hop !
 I hope you'll go visit all of them and get some inspiration for yourself !
Enjoy !
And don't forget to check out Madame Samm's Pinterest ! Each hop has it's own  board 

 Have a wonderful day and may God bless You.
