A Digi Turns Into a Quilt...and other fun pics

Back when I was on Angels Landing design team, my one daughter who is into quilting was over, and I showed her this idea I had. Why not take these cute digital images from Toys On Wheels and Alphabet Train, and make a quilt! She loved the idea and started designing her pattern.
My good friend, PSE7, and I started sizing the digis, my daughter cut her quilt blocks (9x9) and we taped them onto printer paper so they would easily run through the printer. She embroidered each block, sewed it all together, then hand quilted it.   **correction! Jennifer reminded me we had a slight accident with the printer on a block, so she ended up tracing the images.(she was limited on blocks and didn't want to take any chances...lol)
we have done a quilt before though, running the material through the printer....see pic below**Isn't it darling!! She gave it as a shower gift, baby will at least know what letters lamb, cow, duck, elephant and puppy start with! LOL

So, PLAY with those digis! They're not just for making cards!!

A couple of weeks ago, I looked out my kitchen window, and this is the sight I saw. Oh NO!! The hammock flipped over and tossed Jack out!

No, not really...on a really windy day it'll catch the hammock and knock it over. Jack just happened to be sunning himself!

  I called his name and disturbed his nap! LOL

Last Saturday, Los Llameros de St Paris (my 4H club), set up at the Upper Valley Fiber Festival. Eight of the 9 kids were able to go, we took some simple obstacles to show people some of the things we do. It's always a good experience for the kids as they get asked all sorts of questions....hopefully they've been paying attention and know the answers!

The kids had spent some time during the week grooming to make the llamas a little more "public" presentable. As you can see, Tobi decided she should go with the "just off the farm" look!

The kids found this nice spot for a group shot. Too bad we were missing Jared!

Then we had a special visitor. One of my first 4H kids brought her daughter to see us. Katelyn had NO fear of these MUCH larger than her llamas! LOL

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Thanks for stopping!!
