If you have a sec....

Follow this link over to Chris at Deputy's Wife Blog and vote for her to win an AccuQuilt Go Cutter. I would also love to win one, but since her name was drawn over mine.. I'll forgive her and let her win it.

She's a left handed quilter and I know the cutter would help her out tremendously....but she also has a soft spot in my heart cause she's also a mother of THREE boyz! There's gotta be a special place in heaven for all of us mother's of THREE boyz!

I know there are more than several quilters who read my site...'cause there is a site meter on this thing! So..please go vote. Here is even the site if you'd like to just skip over to it!

Thanks mucho...if you need me, I'm spending most of my days out helping with wheat harvest. Pictures will come soon!

Porch Protectors

We call this pair the most vicious animals on the place. If you can get by these two on the porch you're safe.

Rusty will lick you to death, and Gray-Cat will rub your leg off.

On the wall




My DIL calls this "the Madness Quilt". It's a Triple Irish Chain and the squares finish at 1". I've always wanted to do one of these, and why in the world I started one this tiny is beyond me, but I LIKE IT! DIL told me to put the blue with it too...and I LIKE IT! It may be madness but when you work a stressfull job and then you go home to the Bernina and you can make those little squares match up...it's ONE thing I have control over! YEAH!
I haven't decided how big I'm going to make it, but it's going together pretty fast actually.

Giveaway...

Barb over at Bejeweled Quilts if hosting a wonderful giveaway. Register and tell her who sent you over and we could both win an Accuquilt Go! Can't be any easier than that. The Go is one of those inventions like Sliced Bread, a tractor with a cab AND air conditioning, and ziploc bags. The blade on my rotary cutter is getting DULL!

Winnings

Thanks to you guys voting, this is what I received. It's 50 10" squares of Aunt Grace fabric. I'm leaning towards an old fashioned Broken Dish pattern, but I'll take suggestions as to what you think I should make. I love the look of the old-fashioned fabrics.
