Been Busy

We've had the coldest spring on record and more rain than we're use to getting. The wheat fields are georgous and we're hoping for a good crop. Praying that the fungus, bugs and hail don't decide to come in--it's great being a farmer!

This little girl has also kept me busy. Rachel only lives 1/2 mile from me and I see her almost every day...who could resist?! The quilt she's setting in front of is blocks embroidered by her Great Grandma Yoder and put together and quilted by her Mom.


The chair she's setting in belonged to her Great Grandma Rachel. I look at her with amazement every day knowing that she came into this world so tiny.

Yes, I have been sewing and actually got some things back from the quilter.
This is a star pattern from Kaye Woods class that I recently took. The gal setting next to me just happened to be a longarmer and I think I've made a new best quilting friend. She does wonderful work and lives about a mile from my oldest son in Edmond.
We're leaving for Canton, TX the middle of this week and going to spend a couple of days at the First Monday Trade Days. I always come home with a few treasures.

How that little doll has grown! So cute! Neat to have the pic of her with those family heirlooms.
Love the quilt you did. The colors and pattern are wonderful. The quilting did it justice, too.
Blessings!
