My Backyard This Morning
We woke up to a few inches of snow this morning and our backyard looked so pretty with
the heavy wet snow on the trees. THANK GOODNESS its nothing like what the eastern people got. I liked the way the flash made the snow show up on my little flowering crabapple tree

Saturday, February 6. 2010Hawk in backyard
Yesterday this beautiful hawk came swooping down and landed on the fence in our backyard
He only stayed long enough for a couple of quick pictures  
Thursday, February 4. 2010Estate Sale BuyThe only thing I came home with was some thread and "LOTS OF IT" The box is one of those big fishing tackle boxes that opens on both sides and both sides were packed with thread. Some still had the wrappers on them and there were alot of wooden spools too. Now I'll bet even with all this thread I still won't have the right color  Tuesday, February 2. 2010T-SHIRT QUILT DONEI kept the back with one black strip down middle back and then did a border and the binding in black. I hand tied in each corner of shirts and then did a 'stippling stitch' around the edge along the border

Monday, January 11. 2010MONDAY!
It has been cold enough lately that my husband has been able to go ice fishing a couple of times. SO today he decided this might be the last day to go since it is supposed to warm up this week. Since the shop that sells some of my crafts is only 10 miles from where he fishes we decided to go this morning. Got to the lake and he took off across the lake and I drove off to the shop. I got there and there was a sign in door "closed Mondays Jan & Feb" OK I should have called. Anyway got back to where husband was fishing and took several pictures and no fish so then we headed home.
We decided to turn off and go thru Garden Plain and about two blocks from right downtown we saw a red fox in the ditch. Boy he was sure pretty.  Here's husband walking out with another crazy man..Click on photo to see more Wednesday, January 6. 2010Tshirt Quilt BackThis fabric is pretty "BUSY" so hopefully the strips will help break it up Hmmm maybe I need a strip across the middle HELP DOROTHY! ! ! 
Monday, January 4. 2010DayTrip to Quilt Shop and Quivera Wildlife RefugeI've been looking for a certain fabric and I found it at the quilt shop in Alden Ks which is a little bit of a drive from here So I suggested we drive there and then on over to the wildlife refuge. First things first I got the fabric then we drove on over to the refuge We figured since it was so cold that there might not be any animals out....WRONG! We saw snowgeese, at least 20 eagles, waaaaay over 50 deer, and about a dozen turkeys. We drove by this old farm that had "junk" so thick you couldn't see the house. There were old cars and who knows what else in there but the picture I took was of old bikes and that was just one small part of it WAS A GREAT DAY!  click on photo to see more pictures...OH and the fabric Sunday, January 3. 2010"FRIENDS" Quilt Top DoneOK OK! ! ! So it took me 8 or 9 years to get this far.....HAHA SO does that mean I have another 8 years to get it completely "finished"? I got the blocks out the other day...really all I intended to do was put the new ones from OzJan away and the more I looked at them the more I decided it needed to be finished. Even tho I'm not a 'brown' person I thot it needed a plain brown....nothing fancy or it would take away from the blocks. Found what I think is the perfect brown to bring them all together. Now I don't have a clue what to put on the back....will have to go shopping I guess!
