T'is the Season...

No....

Not Christmas...

However that is only 2 months from today!!

It's Round up and Cattle Drive Time!!

There were some anxious cows ready to hit the road to come home yesterday!!

It's an 11 Mile trek for the first herd to come home.

And I have to say - it was one cold day!!

We switched off every couple of miles to warm up....

And rested at a couple of watering holes.

A couple more days of round up and all the cows will be home for winter!!

On the Miss Rosie's 'Bounce' Front

Terry Whitman quilted my rendition of Bounce for me this week.

LOVE IT!!!

You can read the beginning of my Bounce here and here if you missed it!!

I decided to use the few leftover pieces of the layer cake to pipe the edge of the binding.

I used the PIPING HOT Binding Tool to make my piping and was quite impressed with the overall result.

The piping is one of the ideas I picked up at Creative Stitches in Calgary last week.

Didn't Terry do an INCREDIBLE job on the quilting!!

Thanks again, Terry!!

I love it!!

(and yes.. that is remainder of snow in the forground..)

Off to bind my row robin quilt also back from Terry's !!

Stay warm,

Christa

Well, Like I need another project........

buuut ...

Tracey from The Block Party Guild Blog suggested WE (Tracey~ please note the large letters and underlining) participate in the Scnibbles Parade for October, since it is a pattern we recently purchased.

Isn't PDF pattern downloading an incredible invention?? 

Instant gratification!

So I,like a sheep...baaaa

and 

Tracey - being the shepard....carries a mean hook

....I said sure!!

I had purchased my first layer cake pack of Kate Spain's Cuzco.

This is not fabric I ordinarily am attracted to but thought I would get out of my box for a bit!

It is a sad state of affairs when you see that 42- 10x10" squares plus some background it enough to complete this entire quilt.  

With 4 hours of cutting and sewing with this organized chaos......



I have managed to put a few blocks together.

I see that I have fallen into my old 'tricks' and co-ordinated the colors I like. I will have to challenge myself and hit the rest of the colors if I plan to keep this scrappy!!

Happy Sunday.. and long weekend!
