EXCITING DAY!

 Yesterday I was a vendor at Farm Fest which took place at the Yamhill County Historical Museum in my town - just about 2 miles from my home.  It was the 52nd consecutive plowing competition and the only plowing competition on the west coast.  I had never heard of such a thing until we moved here!

I was very impressed and amazed with all the horses and mules that were here.  It was a very windy and rainy day, but lots of people came anyway!  It is a pretty big deal around here.

Here is a picture of the Scrappy Star quilt that I made - all quilted and bound.  It was a beautiful day when I took this photo!!

Here's the back view with the sun shining through from the front.

Happy quilting, everyone!

SCRAPPY STAR FINISHED!

I spent the last week quilting and binding this twin size Scrappy Star quilt.  It is a Moda Bake Shop pattern, but I couldn't find it so I could link to it.  It is made with 5" charm squares, 8 of them are colored and the middle one is white.  I had a lot of left over charm pack squares, so I decided to make it a few months ago.  Where did all those left over 5" squares come from?  I'm not sure, but the seemed to grow in the bottom drawer of my sewing chest.  I still have a lot left.

Quilting

One of my favorite blocks

Quilted but not bound yet.

 Below is another favorite block.  Do you see the 2 frogs, fish in upper left and octopus in the lower right square?  These blocks were fun to make and they measure 13" square, so it goes pretty fast.

Backing fabric was found at an estate sale.

All finished.  I will take a better picture when I can hang it on the clothesline outside.

It always feels good to finish a quilt!
