Harvesting Corn, Lily, and Bubbled Double Nine Patch

Life … on the farm

Quinten gets the combine ready for the day.

Cutting corn and unloading it into a grain cart.

Bronson and Gabriel hauled the corn away as fast as Quinten could cut it.

Ashton loved riding with Gabriel for a while.

Uh-oh! Problems in the wiring harness.

The ground is gradually turning red from the bees wings of the corn kernels.

After a windy day there was actually a drift of bees wings on the east side of the shop.

Paul gave the neighbors a ride after a hard day’s work.

… as a Quilter

Today I fixed up my mobile design walls in preparation for Saturday’s “Lily” Workshop in Starkville.

I have started quilting my “Bubbled Double Nine Patch.”

  

Small Fiber Art Composition

Now what shall it be?

Ebb and Flow?

Swimming Lanes?

Man with a Walking Stick?

Twisted Cords?

 

Dimensions: 9.75” X 6.75”
Cotton Fiber
Heavily quilted with Superior Thread
Fused applique
$45
Ready for hanging with “Fast Finished Triangles.”

Notice how the composition wanted to buckle after I added the binding.

Soaking the fibers with water and drying it flat solved the problem.

Now that it’s all basted, I have begun to quilt my “Bubbled Double Nine Patch.”
