Saturday at My Place

Last week gave us 4 new chicks.  Mom and the chickies are doing great.  She's teaching them how to scratch for food.  She's very protective of them and when she and the little ones are in the coop, no one dares enter.  That makes for 15 other hungry chickens.  So we've been letting them out of the coop so everyone can have a bite.


I've been saving my feed bags or rather retrieving them from the trash.  Doug thinks I'm a real hick to keep them.  Well I've made one tote bag (tutorial) so far.  I even used it at the grocery yesterday and it held up.  I have a few more to make.
It's not fantastic, but I like it.  I did notice while the clerk was bagging yesterday that I did put my handles on wrong.  Not a big enough mistake for me to fix.  I'll just remember on my next bag.

Flowers: rather Hydrangeas.  One of my all time favorites.  My daughter got me a Hydrangea potted plant one year for Mother's Day.  I fell in love.

Since then, I put them in every garden I have.  Take a look



I love the colors!

Design Wall April 30

The Carpenter's Star I started last week in two seams away from being done.  I have the top and bottom border to sew on.  Then I'll be ready for Judy's feather tutorial in June.  I think this is going to be a very nice quilt when it's finished.

Design Wall 4-23

I rushed last night to put something on my design wall for posting.  I decided to take Judy's online tutorial for quilting feathers.  This is the top she gave instructions for the class.  Join us.  The lesson beings on June 1.
