One of the hardest lessons for me to learn with the longarm is that when I start something that is so fun and exciting, it may not be so fun and exciting by the time I get to the end of the quilt, especially when the quilt is about 90″ x 105″. I was determined to do this quilt without doing feathers because I do feathers on almost everything. Cross-hatching looked like a good thing to do but I don’t think I’ll ever get finished. I did get a handy dandy cross-hatch ruler at MQS from Off the Edge Quilting and it helps a whole lot!
And, look at this haircut, will ya?
This was his Mom, do you have to take a picture? look as he was leaving to go to some event this morning.
When I went out with Speck this afternoon, there was this woodpecker in a dead tree across the creek from our house.
Isn’t he pretty? Dang, I wonder if they get headaches with all that constant pounding against a tree. It gives me a headache just watching them.
And, as we sat down to eat dinner, we looked out the window and this little deer was out there. I tried to sneak around and get a picture but it’s kinda blurry because I was in a rush.
Oops . . a human! Better run off into the woods!

Love Chad’s haircut!
The haircut looks great and just keep reminding him how much easier short hair is to keep looking nice on a daily basis. I think it something about boys and that “take my picture” look.
PS A person gets tired of doing all large quilts no matter what you do on them. Sometimes the end can’t come soon enough!!

Man alive, Chad looks so spiffy in all of his spiffi-ness!!! Mama, I hope you realize that some little gal is gonna scoff him up, one of these days…
My DSIL and I have decided that your neighborhood deer is a cross between a white tail deer and a llama! Look at the neck on that critter!!!!
Good luck on that gigantic quilt. You can do it, Judy!!

I knew I saw the Heavens open up and heard, “Hallelujah!” That young man looks quite handsome, indeed!
Back to working on my QFH quilt! Busting that stash, baby!
Thats a Red-Bellied Woodpecker – yes, even though it isn’t his belly that’s red! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-bellied_Woodpecker
Hope today’s big storms missed you. Julie
