Farm/Ranch/Country Quilt

I love to sew & quilt and this is my latest project I finished this morning. I thought you all might be able to appreciate it a little bit! Smile

My kitchen has a farm theme so this will be a wall hanging for it. Now I just need to put the back on it and get it all finished up!! In case they don't show up, the green border has chickens scattered about on it. Have a great day. Smile

My mom is into quilting and that work would make her proud!!!

Be thinking how you will hand it down in the family, you might have to make more than one.

That's beautiful!!!! I love to quilt, but only in the winter time. Seems I never have time any other part of the year. (course if I wasn't on ranchers, I could...but...but.... Very Happy

)

I tried to learn how to tat.......Mr Lilly's Granny could do it, but all I could do with a tattin shuttle was make knots Rolling Eyes

Thanks, everyone. Smile

I have made several quilts, but I think this might be my new favorite!!

I hear ya Lilly about the time thing this time of year. I am usually full time by now hauling hay and hay barley silage, but because of a lot of things we aren't quite there yet... been hauling here and there, but not 16 hour days.... yet!!! So, I am taking advantage of my time right now and making some quilts.. so far this week, 2 quilts and a smaller wall hanging.. I'm having a blast!

I would love to learn how to do tatting, etc... I knit and embroider, but that is it for my hand stitching hobbies.

I usta do cross stitch quite a bit when the kids were little. And crochet'd quite a bit then too, Only thing I crochet anymore is rugs.

I am green Mr. Green

with envy. I can't do any of those things. I can embroider a bit,
but a quilt, NO WAY.

My mother could do all that stuff. Don't know what happened to me.
Oh yes I do; cows, horses, dogs, cats...no time for sewing and
crafts. I'm all thumbs anyway. But look at the money I saved by
not ruining things. Wink

MTgirl did you use a rotary wheel to cut out the quilt pieces? Everything looks so strait and crisp and lined up exact. I learned about 10 years ago, that lil wheel is the only way to go when doin a quilt with strait edges or blocks. Oh and ironing between seams that helps too.

My grandmother made me a quilt and everytime I get under it I think of her. My other grandmother made afgans (sp?). The are both priceless.
