The Second Big Star Top

February 11th, 2010

Did I ever show the finished Big Star top? I think I forgot to show it. It still isn’t quilted but that could happen this afternoon or tomorrow.

Today I’m trying to finish my dad’s top. I thought I had enough of the outer border fabric to use for the binding but I don’t so I’m re-thinking the outer border/binding situation. Such tough decisions I’m called upon to make!

Speaking of decisions, I’m using my chicken flannel as backing for my dad’s quilt.

Since the chickens have to vertical on the backing, it’s taking three strips to get the backing pieced. Aren’t these chickens so cute? Almost as cute as my darling Ruby!

Snow Removal

February 8th, 2010

Thick, fat, wet, sloppy snow had been falling for a few hours. We looked out and . . whoa! The chicken run is sagging under the weight of the snow.

Ahh . . Vince to the rescue!

Swept the snow off the run ..

Swept the snow off the chicken tunnel . .

All is well but .. where are the chickens? Sitting in the coop, in front of the heater, discussing all those chicken commercials from last night’s Superbowl. Don’t you think my chickens should be in commercials? They’re a heckuva lot cuter than all those chickens in the commercials last night! Yep, that’s what Ruby thinks too!
