Orca progress

 I worked on this feverishly while the clues came out and then it got put to the side.  I had some free time (haha) this weekend so thought I'd try to work on it.


I used magnetic clips to hang it from the back of a fellow worker's metal cubical cabinet.  It still needs two rows on one side and another row at the top.  There all there...at home waiting to go together.

 One of the guys here at work stands and stares at it.  He's found a cat, cow, tractor tire, bandana, chicken, candle flame...all kinds of "where's Waldo" prints.  They told me to hurry up and get it done so it could come back for a visit.

 It's "Administrative Assistant's" week, and since I'll be gone to training on wednesday, they fixed me breakfast and bought me a hanging basket of flowers.  The office smells wonderful!   Yeah...work isn't too bad today.  Now, back to payroll!

Farm blocks--all I have made.

Well..that's not true.  There are a few in the orphan pile that either weren't cut right or crooked...or I didn't like the colors after I have them put together.  A fellow worker said that the green sticks out too much.The extra block is to the side...so, is this the same number everybody else has made?  Guess it doesn't matter....this is how many is going in MY quilt!

more blocks

Here is the latest installment.  I need to put them all up on the wall because I count 24 blocks (25 if you count the one I made two of), but there aren't that many pictures on here so I haven't shown them all.   The one on the left is a little wild compared to the other's, but it's made.  The first cutting instructions were off 1", so I have an extra block for the orphan pile.  I have some other very-print blocks, so it should fit in with the whole!

A lot of the blackground fabric is some scraps I got from Amy a long time ago. 

Look who all showed up at my house for Easter.  We had a blast.

More Farm Wife

Only one more and I'll be caught up.  What can I say...my eyes got tired last night and since I'm good at making goofs..figured another day I could make the last one.

I was glad there was a paper piecing pattern for the Cups and Saucers.   I felt like I cheated, but I like the results.

What's on the bed...

Bonnie did a link-up for us to share what's on our bed.  I've shown this quilt before, but this is what I've been sleeping under.



It's the first mystery quilt that Bonnie did.  We were in the process of moving into this new house.  I love the quilt.
