In the Hay....Lot


I finally got down to the hay lot this afternoon to get pictures of the quilts I didn't have pictures of. While I'm writing this I'm thinking of several more I forgot about.



Comanche Stars 
Is finally finished ! I made the blocks early last year, then couldn't decide how I wanted to put them together so I put it away and thought about it.....for a long time.  I finally got it down the other day and and put the pedal to the metal ! 
Now I'll have to get it quilted.


 

   This quilt was a "card tricks" BOM . Every month I kept thinking about how much  I didn't like these fabrics, and wondered why I was even sewing it up. But, after the girls at the
 Quilter's Patch in Santa Anna,Texas got it quilted, it turned out to be one of my favorites.
 I'm calling it "Cuttin the Cards".
 HEHE  If you watched the movie Lonesome Dove, you'll know what I'm talkin about.


 This was a BOM also. Same thing, didn't like the fabrics. 
The blocks had been hanging in my sewing room over a year. I dreaded the thought of sewing it together, then I finally did a couple of weeks ago, and named it
Blueberry Cobbler. 
Guess what ? I like it too. I'm anxious to see it quilted.



Laying in the Furrows
When I was little I used to ride the tractor with my Daddy.
 If I fell asleep he would lay me in the furrows of the plowed field till I woke up.
 I took an Eleanor Burn's log cabin class and made this from the Bliss fabric line . 

Trip Around the World with Bobbye
My Scrappy Trip is finally put together, (addicting sewing). 
These are fabrics I've had forever and a day, some that came from my dear Mother-in-law.
"Sew" I named it in honor of her. 



 I'm naming this one in memory the Quilters Patch in Santa Anna,Texas, who sadly.... are shutting the doors in June of this year.  They are such personable women, always so willing to help and best of all, they offer up friendship. (It's kind of like going to the CHEERS bar, you wanna go where everybody knows your name.) 
Beth guided me to this fabric and pattern and then she and Shirley quilted it. 
 "Sew" here's to you three ladies,
Santa Anna's Star Cake
Beth, Rita and Shirley are going to be missed.

 Fanny's Flowers
I mentioned it during the Dare to Dresden blog hop. 
( This is the quilt one of the dogs peed on down at the barn,
By the way, still no confession. ) 


 Of course the trusty "Ranch Patrol" was there with me, on the lookout, while I took pictures. 
These two are so devoted to me it almost makes me cry. No matter what, they love me.
 Next to God, dogs truly are Man's Best Friend.

Have a good day and God bless You.
