Cleaning out the spare bedroom...

....And I ran across these in the hope chest.  Its funny how we forget what we have.   These are some baby quilts I made back last year.  I brought them out to air out for awhile.

This was the first quilt that I tried free motion on.  Okay its not great but not bad.

 Made this guy with the help of EQ and resizing a pattern I found in a magazine.

I love this fabric.  It was left over from a class at a LQS. 

Modabakeshop pattern that I tweeked a little.

Went for a walk today

I love nature, the spring time is the best.  So much to see, everything is new .
This is the trail leading to the pond.  We've have geese that come back every year to have babies.  We checked on her two days ago and she was still on the nest, but today.....

The whole family out for a stroll.  How cute!  Daddy didn't like me being there and acted like he was gonna come after me, so  I high tailed it out of there!  Being bite my a goose isn't on my top ten list of things to do on a stroll.

The brigde that leads to the wild flower patch.  Which right now is the weed patch.  Hopefully it does better later in the year.

Clematis on the pergola.

I have no idea what this is, found it laying on the ground.  I'm pretty sure its a bloom from a tree I just don't know which one.

Finished the Strawberry Twirl quilt top

 This quilt went together fairly quick even though I had some problems with the inset triangles.  After EQ 7 failing to allow me to have full sashing squares at the border.  I went out and bought this calculator with a Joanns coupon 40% off!  Great buy!  It basically does all that EQ can to but I can stick it in my purse and never has to ask the sales gal again how much fabric I need.  And it can figure out those quilting math problems that sometimes take me hours. 

Now on the lighter side of things.  See what happens when the critters get mad at you for not having bird seed in the feeder.  I'm thinking that it wasn't a bird that threw this on the ground....Squirrel..maybe...Raccoon.....more than likely!  They have already broken one squirrel proof feeder and are now working on this one.  Just part of the fun of living in Podunk!

First harvest for 2012

Well aint she pretty!  Me and honey will be fighting over who gets this in a salad tonight!  Since he picked it maybe he should get to eat it!  If it last till supper....HEHE!

Worked on the new quilt top for a little while today.  So do you think it needs borders?  I was thinking 2 borders, one solid and then a larger border with print.  Boy you can really see the cheap muslin.  I've a whole bolt of this muslin that was a gift from an older(81yrs old) quilter.  She loved this stuff, raved about it and then gave me a whole bolt.  Come to think of it all the fabric in this quilt was free.
