Rodster, A Quilt and A Day on the Farm

 Put on your farm boots and grab your hat.👢👢 🤠 We are headed to the farm! It is a scorcher out there so I will bring a water for us all. 

First stop the Bee Yard.🐝🐝🐝 

My little honey makers are busy, busy , busy.

They do make me happy. 

I think the corn crib would be the perfect spot to view my latest thrifty find. 

I bought this the other day at a thrift store in the great state of Alabama. 😀

It is  a simple but absolutely delightful vintage nine patch . Isn't it darling? 

Excuse me a moment while I try to rustle up Rodster and some of the heifers. Maybe they would like to take a gander.  If you are so inclined, you can help me call them. Just go to the truck and blow the horn and they will soon appear. Easy Peasy.  Beep! Beep! 

There's Rodster. Hi there , big fella. 

And sweet Bev is not too far behind. 

Oh , bother. Where 's Edna? We cannot go on without her.  There she is ! That stinker is giving me "no never mind".  Oh well the show must go on! 

The quilt is hand quilted.

Look at the pretty umbrella fabric. 

Oh my, I bored these little fellas to death. They are going to take a snooze. 

Anywhoo , a  pretty turquoise fabric was used for  the binding ; each corner is curved. How pretty. 

The backing is pieced . Look at all of that gorgeous hand quilting. 

So what do you think? Was it a fabulous buy? 

Wheew! It's getting hot out here! How about we gather up the quilt and head back to the house. We can then get a big glass of sweet iced tea, sit back on the porch and stitch for awhile. You did bring your stitching along with you didn't you?  Thank you so much for keeping me company. You always brighten my day. 🤗🌞

 As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Thank you for the sweet visit.
