Busy at the Farm

Please forgive my absence....

It's that time of year....

An acre of pumpkins and gourds have been keeping us busy...

It's our first year planting the pumpkin farm...

And I'm loving every minute of it... Happy Halloween and I'll be back soon!!!

Wonky Stars #3

My sewing machine is back and better than ever!!! I am done with block #3 of the QAL and I've moved on to #4. This baby has to be finished by next Friday so I have a lot of work ahead of me.

The Farmer's Wife

I am a farmer's wife, so you can imagine my excitement when this arrived today. Besides my wonky stars QAL, I'll be reading this lovely lady this weekend.

On deck is Haunted Hollow II. I haven't exactly decided what I'm going to do with these 4 panels, but I will figure something out before Halloween.
I'm taking my kiddos to Nana and Paw's today for a quick visit. I'll be back soon!!!

Block #2

We are up and running in the "network" part of the house. We now have TV - I had NO idea how bad the damage was from Irene!!! I missed the news so much. Then my second catastrophe happened. My Janome decided to break down. I have to take it in for the diagnosis - more to come on my sweet Jan. I decided to get out the ole' Janome 9700, my embroidery machine. She wasn't crazy about straight stitching, until I found the right foot for her. Some of my block #2's for the Happy Quilting QAL aren't straight or acurately "pointy" but I'm managing. I hope to get 3 more of these babies done tonight...

I've fallen head over heals in love with American Banner Rose, isn't she beautiful?

Shocking!!!

Truly shocking... our house got struck by lightning and fried everything hooked up to Directv and the modem. Hopefully I'll get it all fixed soon!!! I'll be baaaack!

Dottie and Nana

I realized that I didn't have a good picture of Dottie on our blog, but here she is working with Nana on a pink ribbon quilt. Aren't they all beautiful???

I hope to get some more stars done today and maybe something else to put on the racks tonight.

(fingers crossed)

Getting Wonky With It!!

They are not wonky yet... But they will be soon. I've joined a quilt along that is chuck full of wonky stars. You can visit Happy Quilting here for more info. Don't those triangles look like WORK? I have got news for you, I didn't cut a single triangle. YEAH!
