Your teen or tween just can’t pass up this quilt!

| April 8, 2010

Got a teen or tween with a phone attached to the ear? This cute quilt would be just the perfect gift! Just in case you have a guy in mind, on my pattern website I show it in browns.  This wall quilt just needs a border to two to turn it into a fun bed sized quilt. The pattern doesn’t include the extra borders, but you can!

This quilt arrives just in time for you to complete it for a senior going off to college…
to remind them to call you!

The pattern is located at my pattern website: www.patterns2quilt.com

The misadventures of a cattle drive…

| April 4, 2010

Picture in your mind the cattle drives of old. Cowboys on horses riding along beside the herd heading for their destination. Occasionally a cow breaks loose from the others, and the cowboy is off to bring the maverick back into the fold. You’ve seen it in most westerns, but it doesn’t compare to a cattle drive from one pasture to another via a county road.

Now picture  hungry cows heading for greener pastures (excuse the pun) and today’s method of cow punching. Horses aren’t always used, instead four wheelers and neighbors try to corral the group of head strong animals. They begin their journey in the neighbor’s yard and are progressing at a nice pace following the call of the neighbor from a four wheeler in front of the pack. In the rear of the herd is the neighbor’s husband carrying a big stick, yep, a big stick. She’s calling, “come on babies, come on babies” and they are trucking along behind her until they pass through another neighbor’s green grass and flower bed. That neighbor was calmy sitting on her porch expecting to watch the exciting trail ride until she sees the cows headed for her flower bed. Oh, she jumped off the porch lickety split, but too late. They munched away!

There was no getting those cows to budge from those yummy plants. The man with the big stick finally got them away from the angry neighbor and they headed out the gate onto the county road. Do you think cows will leave one gate, calmly walk on the road and up a driveway into another gate? (more…)
