Living in the country offers its own unique challenges and opportunities. Come join me as we get a glimpse of what really happens in a small farmhouse tucked away from the cares of this world and how we try to live life in simplicity and a renewed sense of "downhome."

My 2 Quilts
Here's the 2 Quilts I've been working on.
This one I started about a year ago and had it mostly done except the fringing. So, while I was not feeling well, I finished fringing all the squares.
The first one is just the front and the second one is front and a portion of the back.
This is the one that I am currently working on. I have to do 6 of these squares, then do 6 of 2 different designs. Once these are all finished, I can sew them together with some borders. They take a lot of time, so, this quilt may take me the rest of the year. We'll see. Anyway, I just realized that this one and the one I just finished both have the same theme. I guess I just like North Country designs! One of the other designs that I'm adding to this one is with a bear and a cabin, so it fits right in! The last one is a square divided into quarters and has a moose, bear, fish, and deer on it. Just my kind of quilt! Well, except the fish, but hey, it goes with the rest of it, so why not!

Wow! They look wonderful.
I wouldn't even know where to begin!
Beautiful Quilts. What an undertaking. I was thinking of getting myself a hobby to keep me occupied after work until I get tired. Quilts may be above my expertise. I'll probably have to start with plastic canvas;) Got to start somewhere.
