Oklahoma trip...
In May we went to Oklahoma to work on Momma's rent house, which was built by our Paternal Grandparents.
This was our Welcome to Oklahoma...
Driving into the storm...
cleaned up the yard...
repaired walls...
cleaned and repaired the cabinets...
donated a room full of furniture...
cleared out the basement...
pulled the old flooring and prepared it for new...
replaced the burnt stove vent...
repainted this bedroom
Much better...
We had a wonderful, very busy week...
Lot's of memories ...
Lot's of LOVE...
We did take time to enjoy the sunset...
and the view...
Maud Quilting Queens...
Amanda and I joined a newly formed quilting group...
This was our first assignment...
I'm thinking of finishing it into a wall hanging.
so I went ahead and added the border.
We're supposed to make a BOM (block a month)
and then combine them into a quilt.
But, of course I have to be different.
Since we won't know what each block is until our monthly class,
I think I'll just see what I won't to do with each block as we go.
Love the basket...
Sewed together...
squaring the blocks as I go...
VERY IMPORTANT.
The basket pieces "fussy cut" from a Mary Engelbright fabric.
I cut all the flower squares and put them on a baking sheet to keep them in order.
Our second assignment, which Amanda taught, A "disappearing four patch". Mines a little different, and I now can see two errors.
Although our leader tells us, there are no mistakes in quilting..
I think this one will be a pillow cover for the living room...
stay tuned... next month I'm presenting a "Stars and Pinwheels"
design from Eleanor Burns, Quilt in a Day.
