If I Start it . .

One of the hardest lessons for me to learn with the longarm is that when I start something that is so fun and exciting, it may not be so fun and exciting by the time I get to the end of the quilt, especially when the quilt is about 90″ x 105″. I was determined to do this quilt without doing feathers because I do feathers on almost everything. Cross-hatching looked like a good thing to do but I don’t think I’ll ever get finished. I did get a handy dandy cross-hatch ruler at MQS from Off the Edge Quilting and it helps a whole lot!

And, look at this haircut, will ya?

This was his Mom, do you have to take a picture? look as he was leaving to go to some event this morning.

When I went out with Speck this afternoon, there was this woodpecker in a dead tree across the creek from our house.

Isn’t he pretty? Dang, I wonder if they get headaches with all that constant pounding against a tree. It gives me a headache just watching them.

And, as we sat down to eat dinner, we looked out the window and this little deer was out there. I tried to sneak around and get a picture but it’s kinda blurry because I was in a rush.

Oops . . a human! Better run off into the woods!
