A Finish... Some Swap Mail... Santa Mail
I do wonder how so many days can pass from one post to another and it's not because there is nothing to write or tell you about as there is always something happening around here...
 
first we had six calves to mark
 as you can see they had plenty of feed in the cattle yards if they were hungry
but I can tell you they were pretty frisky and didn't want to do that or any thing we wanted them to do
 one of the little females just wanted out and tried so hard to do so...
and they are so strong and have grown pretty fast with all the feed they have this year...
 for the month of September at QBSA I have two partners...
Linda wished for the ''blazing arrow' block in blues and white
 and I wished for a red and aqua star or a scrappy spider's web
and Linda chose the star... the photo doesn't do the red fabric justice as it is quite unusual
thank you Linda for being my September partner...
 and for August Dallas was my partner and she sent me this star block...
I love it... Dallas wished for an Autumn tone star block... must find the photo hahahaha
thank you Dallas for my block and for being my August partner...
and
Santa Sack mail for September arrived from Michelle and Michelle's parcels are in the mail too
oh yeah I did squeeze and sniff but no scratching hehehe
 and these are my ''block lotto's'' for here
this month it was ''crazy fabric'' for the centre...
and I have a finish WOOHOO
#7 off my side bar list
Home Sweet Home from IFQ I think this was a BOM for 2009 or 2008
and I made a change... the block with the sheep and windmill had two birds on it so I move a bird to the house block
 I felt that the sheep and windmill represent my home better...
 I did all the quilting on my domestic sewing machine most of it was free motion and in the ditch...
 and around the border I decided on free motion gum trees
and geez that took me a while...
but I am really happy with the look and so glad to be able to take a finish off my list...

  4. Your quilt looks lovely Tarnyia. It was the 2008 IFQ BOM. The 2009 one was the Starry Sensations. I did that one. You must be very pleased with your Home Sweet Home!
