Life …
The farm hands discuss what needs to be done next.
They needed me …
… and Emily to help transport the combine headers west of Brooksville.
Now Perry is ready to roll.
He cut out a swath of beans for me to park the header trailer. I pulled around and tried backing up, but it didn’t work very well. So I unhooked it and let it sit right where it was. Then I went to pick up Emily further on down the road.
… as a Quilter
Work in Progress – I continue to work on my “lily” quilt. After quilting the background, I fused on the black shapes and then marked lines to stitch the bottom of the lily and stems with my walking foot.
Finished – Emily has finished another art quilt, “Soup’s On.” It is mounted around a 10X10 canvas stretcher. $45.
Detail.

What's the story on "Soups On". Where did Emily get her inspiration? Today Holly had off and spent the day with me. We are sewing a wall hanging together for Queena. It is a Christmas Tree that is paper pieced. Has bottons on for hanging ornaments. We need another full day to get the top done and then I'll need to quilt it. I'll send a picture a little later.
Julia, I do believe you can do anything, and now you have added truck driver and farmer to the list of all the other.
We just had our beans combined this weekend. First time we grew them. Love the close up shots of your work, Julia!
I hope your harvesting goes well :) I'm looking forward to seeing more of your lily quilt and Emily's soup one is fab :)
your quilting, (and Emily's) is really beautiful. I love the detail in your pics.
I'm so happy you shared at Needle and Thread Thursday!
