Another MaryJanes block swap

I signed up for another MaryJanesFarm block swap. We are doing 12 1/2 in blocks so that when we sew them in they will be 12 in,. blocks.  Our theme is anything Halloween or Autumn.  I chose Autumn for both.  I imagine most of the gals will do one of each.  I feel with halloween you are limited , but fall can be made into something that is displayed all year.  I did the Maple leaf, and Churn dash patterns.  The fabric is so pretty.  We didn't have a large sign up this time so I mike just make a sampler.  It is exciting waiting to see what   you get when the mail comes with a little envelope and you know a block from a fellow quilter in another part of the country has made. 
Our local chapter of the Klamath Falls Charming Chicks had a birthday party yesterday for Susan and it was much fun.  Two of the gals are getting together and going to teach us felting.  Can hardly wait.

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.
