Dinosaurs, Farms and! Finished! ( or not) Friday

Alas - I do not have a finish for this week either. But!! I have a list, and a plan to get a finish sometime in the near future!

You might remember - I made a quilt top of Dinosaurs for my son for his birthday - and now!! I am making the back!!


It is dinosaur Batiks, I have the width correct - now I need to add to the top and the bottom...

This is the top I made him (just in case you haven't memorized EVERYTHING I do haha)


And the Pound Puppy - She is so fun - and she SO misses her boy. He is almost done with his project that does not allow dogs,...  I can't tell who misses who more!


And now a brag!!

My Father in Law - he is the best! He is truly one of a kind and such a hard worker. ( My Mother in law is NO slouch tho - let me tell you - she's a hand!!)

But Back to my FIL - he was the Ag teacher for 30 years, and has helped countless people in their ag endeavors ( yours truly included) 


The school he worked for started a farm for the community and the FFA and all the Ag folks - and it got named after him!! The two folks standing in the center - my inlaws!




I screen shotted the FB post that their FFA posted - We were just So tickled! He is the best and now, everyone will know. 

Alrighht!! I have bragged enough.... your turn - what did you finish? Or Not this week?


Link up your direct post - and share the link up - the more the merrier.. and then more quilts I want to see!!

Hi Alycia, that is so cool! The back of the quilt is looking great. I'm sure that it will complement the quilt front well. Thanks for the party. Have an awesome week ....and take care of yourself!
