Today - I am going to DOUBLE BRAG!!!

For My First Finish!!!

it's COWBOY GINGHAM!!!  

One of the fields that we hay was ready - and so we had hay on the trailer

I thought that would be a really cool spot to take a photo.

I might have been wrong,

there wasn't a flat spot to see the whole quilt!

and!! while I was standing there... 

I was informed that I should UNLOAD the hay!

What?????   

And here is the back

It is Bucking Broncos!!!

Too MUCH fun!

Cowboy Gingham measures 48 x 48 inches

Started in February and finished IN THE SAME YEAR

"We are Innocent!!! LET us OUT!!"

AND NOW!!! On to the Second Finish !

This is Forty Six

a String pieced appliqued Tulip quilt

Pieced by Julie ( Quilt Diva Julie)

and quilted ( and bound) by Quiltygirl !!!!

My Learning on this one - it is gorgeous - but!!! 

She String pieced the Tulips - and the subtle differences in color - just made those Tulips STUNNING!!!!  

Even MORE stunning that if it would have been one color Tulips.... 

While I was setting the Quilt up - I felt some eyes on me  ( to the right center) and I looked up and saw!

Antelope!!!!  I know its a bad photo - but I had my 25mm lens on to take Quilt photos!!!!   I needed my longer lens!

Pandemonium!!!

The Second Quilt in the awesome box that came from QuiltDiva Julie  is called

Pandemonium

I mean!! what a name right?

Are you ready to see it???

This one seemed better to hang on the cream trailer..... haha!

Julie combined a lot of different blocks in this one

But the theme?

PLAID!!!!

It was a bright sunny day - which I like for taking quilt photos, but it might have been to bright? I could see the quilting real well....

But it was hard to get a good photo of the quilt!

( which is why above, there is one on my wood floor!(

If I stepped back 

I thought you could see more of the quilt, and less of the quilting...

This one is Bound, and washed, and sitting with Drama Queen... almost ready to go to Mercyful Quilts.

( I have one more to quilt and finish and then the box will be full)

Gratuitous Puppy Shot (here his is Bonnie haha!) You will note Puppy is old... but he still thinks he's a Puppy... I think he is 12 now??

Mercyful Positivity Quilt a Long - from Sewpreeti Quilts

 I am sure many of you have seen this Quilt a Long that SewPreeti is hosting?

https://sewpreetiquilts.blogspot.com/2021/04/positivity-plus.html

if you haven't go check it out!!!

When Preeti called me to see if it was something I thought she could do, I think I giggled - and said really? Have you read your blog? YOU!, my friend, can do anything!  

Random Ranch Shot

So, basically - Preeti is going to host a Quilt a long for her Positivity Quilt - and she will provide the pattern - we provide the love and make a quilt to be Donated to Mercyful Quilts Hospice in Sacramento - all the details ore on Preeti's and Bernie's Needle and Foot Blog. 

I have long been involved in Quilts of Valor ( still am), but this outreach also spoke to me. My mom is now on Hospice, and I tell you the care that these nurses give to their patients is amazing. So I wanted to help them out a little and give them something to leave their patients to snuggle in.

Random Quilting Photos

I also decided that I should reach out to our local hospice, talked with the director, and then of course, went thru my finished Quilts to see if I had anything that fit their needs. 

You will never believe this... but I DID.....  So I rounded up 8 quilts and delivered them (washed and ready for love) . Totally made my day!!

So now I am excited to participate in Preetis Sew along - and be able to spread our love to Mercyful Quilts!! What a priviledge!
