Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

I was so excited to get started this morning that here it is 9:30 and  I have fed the chickens,  the cows, did some laundry, the dishes, straightened up,  and even started on one of my blocks. I do not anticipate any interruptions, but you know how life is, so we'll have to wait and see. My goal to complete what I had put in the big tub. Not necessarily meaning I needed to finish each project that I put in there. Like example the churn dash, I had three blocks prepared and that's all I expected myself to do was those three blocks. And then go onto another project that I had either started or catch up on. So far that has been working out very well for me. But I was thinking is that the way I should be doing it? What would you do? Would you try to complete each project before going onto the next one or would you just do what you had prepped and then continue on from there. I'm really curious about that.

I'm ready Showered, dressed, and had breakfast.  It's day two  of my personal sew-a-thon. I think I made a good dent in my tub.    What do you think? So I will do like I did yesterday, I will post updates a couple times during the day and evening. When the title of my post said (with updates) that mean of course added something. So if you come back to look to see if I've done anything you don't see that up there you'll know that I hadn't posted anything yet.  The first project I'll work on is that stash busters.    I will finish putting the rows on that and then the border.  Then I'll go back to the binding strips I cut. Do some pressing and will be ready to attach to the quilt. Not sure how long but I'll get back on show the finished top.  Till then  Well my morning and early afternoon did not go as I had planned. The "man of the place" with home to take care of so

As you can see from my design wall I have nothing on it this morning. I just finished straightening up my sewing room, after at least a month of chaos. I am ready now to kick butt. So I'm going to have a sew-a-thon, and  for the next three days I am going to do nothing but sew.  Oh maybe a little straightening up the house and cooking of course. But to be honest I have really very little cooking I need to do seeing how that's all I did for the last three days. I have make beans, 2 ba tches of soup, and a roast. So I have plenty of leftovers. After straightening up the room I compiled all my UFO's and current projects that I have been working on the pass few months. Now that is what I'm going to work on during my personal sew-a-thon.  Seeing how the weather outside is in the 20s and doesn't plan to get much warmer for the next two days what a perfect time to spin sewing I will post pictures of m

I should add to this slow Sunday, being slow to blog. I have thought off and on for the past couple weeks,  how I needed to write a post to blog. But that's as far as I would get, just thinking about it. It's not that I don't have a subject or an event or a project I would love to share, it just that time would get away from me. So for my slow Sunday I have been prepping my blocks for "Words to Live By".  This a Primitive Gathering BOM These are the two I have finished . But that's not all, I have been doing today. We had a killing freeze Friday night so I had to pick all that was left on my bell peppers and tomato plants.   So I've been busy getting the bell peppers cleaned and prepped to freeze or dehydrate.  Then there's those pumpkins we have that we use to decorate that were not cut to make jack-o'-lanterns. I'm roasting those in the oven and putting them in the fre
