Finished (or not) Friday!

I actually did get a finish - but - you are not going to believe it - I ran out of daylight to take a photo!!

I got back Sunday from my quick trip to the east, and got right to work, and had to prep for a HUGE QOV presentation . I forget how much time that takes me..

So my biggest finish this week - presenting 16 Quilts of Valor to some AMAZING Veterans.



Isn't that a lovely group?  They were so much fun!! All of them work in the VA in some way and a lot of them do peer support. It was so cool to hear how they have used their war experiences to help others. 

And also ... It might have been an anniversary for some Kids: Who knew what kind of ride we were in for when we said I do!  



So now it is your turn  - how did your week go? Did you finish stuff or start new things - since its the beginning of the month... I sometimes think the first of the month just means I should start new things!

Ranchin' around and Life

the cows say hi!!
I got to be the *Rancher in control* for a while , and then they told me I was wrong - it was them in control and they would run the range haha..

So I closed the gate and got all the grain ready before they stampeded me !


We don't get to see the Northern Lights often - we have seen them twice in the many years we have lived here - so I teased.. we had som crazy storms and a sunset - I think this might be the Northern Lights of Colorado.....




All the girls were back together for a little bit!
My Son came home to hang out and then we took a little trip....


But not before crazy storms came in. My Husband sees a dinosaur head in the right side of the photo. And now - I can't unsee it.


We had a break out in the middle of the night!  We had built a new corrall for one of the stud colts. We were trying to give him more room, and sand - to keep dry from the rain.

But!! He started playing with his feed pan and somehow unhooked the panels ---- and he Escaped!


And part of his escape was to get into the hay shed. We have a side with grass hay and a side with alfalfa... you know he went to the alfalfa - and man - did he make a mess!



We took a little trip - my son said - I see your suitcase....




And a close up - proved he was right - you can see my patriotic fabric haha! While we were waiting for our return flight - we saw the Honor Flight from Florida disembark - it was pretty cool - everyone on the airport stood and clapped for them. The smiles were huge!




Now!!
Back to the piles!!!

My favorite finish for august

 Quilting Jet Girl hosts *My Favorite Finish* and you know what!!

I have one!! ( or two -but who is counting ) I am so excited!!


My Favorite Finish is my Pringles Quilt!!! I love it so much I already have it on my bed, just awaiting the fall weather....




This is Pringles - it started as a block swap between 7 of us - based on Lynn Dykstras quilt .


We each made 350 blocks to swap and then 150 of our own - so all of the ones that have a purple top are the ones I made just for me - it was supposed to make a really cool path - and mine is.... its just Hidden.... as Joy So nicely suggested - its the hidden path.







I used this and a purple check on the back...









Yay!! so excited to actually have a favorite Finish!!

And Happy September!!
