Another Quilt Project

I found this beautiful tapestry on e-bay when looking for wine fabrics.  It had been a vintage book cover.  I bought it for almost nothing and am now making a quilt around it.  As you can see I have sewn two different brown borders around it to set it off.  My son lives in the middle of a vineyard in Calif. and I saw this and thought of him and his family.  I have blocks with 6 different wine fabrics and 6 different solids I am putting together to make a wonderful quilt.  It can either be a wall hanging or a quilt on the back of their brown leather sofa.  I am so excited working on this.  I have so many varieties of ways to place the blocks to make different designs.  I don't want to share to much at this time.  I don't think they even know about my blog but wouldn't want to give anything away untill Christmas.  Once I get this done I will have my 2 major large projects done and then can concentrate on some small projects I want to sew for holidays.  To my fellow quilters out there happy quilting and God bless you all.

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves
grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
