Buried Treasure ….

My husband has been spending a lot of time with his family recently. They are going thru his grandmother’s farm house. No one has ordered a dumpster so, last night he came home with a pickup truck full of trash to be set out for our local collector!

But he had a few small boxes to bring into the house???

Look what he found mixed in with old news papers and to do lists.

Can you see that group. This is the group of ladies that stated the Piecemakers Quilt Guild out of Springfield MO. There is a nice story about how the guild was started.

 

 

And a pattern for this!

Come back to see what else is in those boxes….

I need boarders

Any ideas?

another quilt

shhhh….  this one is a surprise,

I received a ruler as a door prize at the quilt retreat in NC this spring and I wanted to give it a try.   Jacki brought down a few shirts she saved while helping a friend clean out a closet.  And I decided to make a small quilt.  I am shooting for Christmas, but I’m waiting to sandwich it for the next time Jack’s here to help.  

It will go to one of the girls.  There are 2 girls so you know this means another one.  hummmm

update: Quilts

I see another project in my future – these 6” blocks are sooooo cute.

I’m thinking the red and white will be the only constant, the star will just be Dark and Light.

 

And, the star blocks are together, but its about 6inches too small for the bed.  So this Smoky Mountain Stars Quilt is waiting for boarders.  (pattern on Bonnie Hunters site – Quiltville.com

What do you think, scrappy or RWB strips (one color each) hum…..

another UFO added

But this should be a top soon.  Lord knows when it will get quilted!

 

Summer came this last weekend

And the flowers around here are putting on a show….

Sunday BBQ

It was hot yesterday!  So we grilled out.  John wanted Beer Can Chicken – I wanted to clean the freezer.  And I found a 9 pound Pork Roast!!!!

So we grilled both.  That Pork took 7 hours to slow cook!  (and I did not get a picture of the finished roast) 

Here was Sunday dinner….. Chicken, fruit salad, coleslaw, and pasta salad.   OK I was in a clean out the fridg mode, so make salads.  It was yummy!!
