Newest Project - fn

Here is our current project.  C&J are expanding their chickens, so needed more nests.
Bob & I really enjoy working on things like this.

We are going down to the farm tomorrow.  Then Bob & Shirley are stopping to visit as they are doing a road trip to the east coast.  We are excited!

Progress

Another one done.  A made this for M while they lived in Panama.  It needs a label.  I just need to find my pen.

Gooner is helping me with this one.

And it is done.  Except for the label of course.

This one is for La & Q for their wedding over 2 years ago.  The backing was from the curtain from their wedding.  The front is a paper pieced pattern called Twisted Star.

I think Gooner likes this one.

It is pinned and I have started sewing but it isn't done.

And this one is pinned but I haven't started sewing it yet.

It will be a while for this one.  We weren't happy with our quilting job so I am taking it all out.  One disaster out of our week wasn't so bad.  We are still learning.

First one Completed!

The binding is done!!!

Here is a pile of binding waiting.

Josh Moving - fn

Rachelle got an adjunct professor position at IWU.  She received the call on Monday while at the engine show in Iowa.  They came back to Wheaton on Monday, drove back to Marion on Tuesday and she taught her class on Wednesday.  Josh drove back here on Thursday and pulled their stuff out of the attic.  He loaded up some other stuff and headed back on Friday.

Saturday, we met them halfway to switch back our vehicles.  We met in Plymouth, IN and we had a wonderful couple hours together.

Testing the size of pictures

I learned that Jackie can't see the pictures because she is using dial-up.
So, my main object here is test the size of pictures.
You have already seen these pictures, but I have resized them.

These are all resized.

Let me know if this picture size makes it better or worse for anyone.

Quilting Weekend - fn

So far, M has done all the posting.  She has her computer right with her, so I didn't have to go upstairs and turn mine on.  Made it very convenient.

This was our end result.  10 quilts quilted.

This was my quilt.  I had embroidered the blocks a couple years ago.

 Don't know how to rotate this picture

This was created by A - butterflies

On Monday, we went to our friend Charlene's house and quilted on her big, modern Gammill.  Really different experience from our antique.  Did La's wedding quilt.

This one was made by La several years ago.

There were several more that M took pictures of and I didn't, so she'll have to share those.

That's all for now.
