Little Buckaroo

I was hired to make a quilt for a gal at work who is expecting another grandbaby. She said that her son rides bulls in the rodeo. Well, it's not very easy to find bulls on fabric so we had to settle for horses, specifically broncos.



I added some embroidery as well to make the quilt look more like a baby quilt.









Next on my list is a quilt to be quilted for another work person. I'm hoping to get it loaded tonight and possibly start working on it tomorrow or Friday night.

Have a great rest of the week.

Random Stuff

Just some random stuff that makes me happy.  What makes you happy????



Quilted this weekend for a customer.   I hope it goes to a lucky little boy.



Unwind finished with my model holding it for me.


Thirty-One Gifts - I love their stuff.  This was for someone else, but I have the same cool purse.


Birthday present for a munchkin at school.


Me, my friend Nikki and Taylor Hanson (yes from the band Hanson).  Can't help it, they make me happy when I listen to their music. And yes I am old enough to be his mother (ouch).


At the concert having a GREAT time!!!



Soccer on Saturday has been so much fun this year.



Going to the zoo and hanging out with two little girls that will let me hang out with them (still).


Nature at it's finest.


Two cornballs thinking that the best thing in life is a colored tongue.


Birthday gifts given to friends.


Buddy.  He just makes me smile (97% if the time).

Thanks for letting me be goofy and share.

Funk

I'll be back in a while.  I'm in a FUNK and nothing is fun to work on or share.

Good for a Laugh

That kid of mine is always good for a belly laugh.  This is how she came down dressed for her soccer game.

Have a GREAT day!

Embroidery

Just checking in.  I've been so busy with embroidery that I haven't been able to do much else.  Unfortunately a lot of it left the house without pictures.  Hopefully after this week I will have some pictures to share.

School started and it seems that I can't quite get into the swing.  I'm not sure what my issue is.  There's a lot more homework this year.

Because I'm feeling so incredibly boring, I leave you with a couple pictures from the fair in August.  The quilt was made by Pat Komer of Willowcreek Quilting.  She did an awesome job on the applique and quilting.  Best of Show.


The girls racing on the big slide. Just makes me smile looking at it.


Have a great week.

Binding Needed

And then it's officially done.  Finally after 5 years and a whole lot froggin', it's finally quilted and almost ready for the bed.  Turning Twenty is the pattern. It's queen size and barely fit on my frame. Not sure what I will do if I decide to make a quilt for our bed. Pay someone with a much bigger machine, I guess.



I'm getting ready (slowly) for the Ladies Night Out that I participate in.




Have a great day!

Routine

I'm so ready for school to start and be back into a routine. Right now I feel like I'm flying by the seat of my pants. Camp finished up last week so hubs and I are rotating days this week staying home.

I did finish a top on Tuesday when I was off. All the rows were done I just needed to sew the top together. I'm hoping to get it on the frame and quilted over the weekend.



So I leave you with this picture and hopefully when normal resumes, so will I with blogging.

EDITED:  This is a Jaybird pattern, but I didn't follow her directions completely.
