I finally finished the special Farm quilt for our cousin once removed and it is all ready to be sent for their new special bundle of joy!
As I mentioned when I was first blogging about the work in progress, this quilt is for a sweet baby whose daddy is a farmer. If you’d like to read more about the farm quilt, you can find my previous posts here: Introduction, Part 2 , Part 3. I added three new critters on the quilt and they are (drum roll, please) a longhorn cow, a fiesty pony and a new cat!
When we were kids, we had a Brahma bull who let us ride him! As long as you scratched right behind his hump, he let you stay on his back; however, if you stopped, he went to the lowest part of the pen and bucked you off. It was fun while it lasted; however, I’m sure mom didn’t appreciate the end result. Bath time again for Susan!
Every time I see a horse, I think of my grandfather and his favorite horse, Traveler. He was a majestic Tennessee Walker and I can still picture grandpa atop his beloved horse, how I miss our grandpa!
Everyone needs a good barn cat. They keep down varmints; however, our cat appears to have found a new friend!
What says farm more than a churn dash block? I chose to use four fabrics for mine instead of the usual three fabrics for a warm and fuzzy offset for the farm. Put them all together and I am happy with the results!
