Here is a little surprise that greeted me after yesterdays storm. There are 4"s of crusted snow to clear, but the blue birds are happy in their warm bath.

OMG. Bluebirds!!!!

bluebirds are beautiful! and a warm bid bath how kind of you :)

I guess I just like the look of cows. he/she sorry for the typo. I know which ones you can milk and which ones you can't :) and I finished the background all green scrappy squares. And the cow is black and white but well the goofy side of me got the better of me and it has orange/yellow patches. I need a fence I think and maybe some flowers in the grass.. if I like it enough it will be my wall hanging.. will post pictures once the fence gets on there.. I am planning on framing it in a thin orange line then a wider greenline around that.. its surely a happy little wall quilt.

E, It sounds great and I like the orange accent border idea. Glad you found your whimsy!:D

This Kentucky girl knows that as well. But Kentucky cows would not object to sharing their field with a Kentucky bull (cows + bull = one happy bull).

I rarely repeat a pattern but I liked this so much that I have already started piecing one for me. I saw the pattern on the board but no directions so I had to try and figure them out - as a result I think I cut things wrong because I keep cutting off the points!!!! grrr - hopefully no one will notice. Also my first attempt at an all over FMQ pattern rather than quilting within each block.

Hi everyone, I mentioned earlier that I have started my WH and here is a sneak peek at what I am planning.

I want to use these gifted papers that have been in my file for a few years now. I also want to do something with the coming of Spring. The papers are 2.5" sq.

It will be a landscape quilt moving from ground to sky and a special something in the foreground that I haven't started yet. The blocks will shade to a lighter blue as they go to the top and darker more saturated colors at the ground.

This is just the beginning of the background:

Several laid side by side to see the effect:

I really love this effect. Thanks for looking.:D

Just wanted to pop in so our swap boss doesn't think I disappeared. Lol. Things have been crazy busy. Last minute twin quilt to make plus three doll quilts and added small items in between. Whew I finally feel like I can breathe again.

Once Christmas is officially over I am gonna be cutting and designing. I have the idea in my head but I have I sit down and actually take my brain and put it to fabric. Scary scary scary lol.

Hope y'all have a great holiday!!!
