Love is In the Air and a Down on the Farm Stamp Freebie

 🎵🎜🎵

Love is in the air

Everywhere I look around 

Love is in the air

Every sight and every sound

🎵🎜🎵- John Paul Young

Hee! Hee! is this going to be humming in your head all day long? It is mine. What a great song from the 70's Anywhoo... Love is really in the air. 

Nah, Not with Rodster and Edna, though they look awful cozy.  Isn't this a cute photo? 

Rodster  is in love with several gals. And not only is he in love , but he is a Papa. 

There is Ginger and her babe. Cute! 

This is the newest babe. 

Blackie with her babe. She is very protective. 

  And there is Bev and look who is behind her, Baby Rodster.

Oh my ! Look at Baby Rodster's adorable, precious  face! I am in love! ❤❤❤🐄🐮

 How stinking cute! Is he like his dad or what ? 

Anyway Love is in the air - at least on the farm!

Aaah that reminds me ! It is Farm Friday. and I have a stitch to share with you . It is another Down on the Farm Stamp. 

This week's stamp is called The Heifers.

Two happy Heifers and a babe. Do you recognize the heifers? It is Bev and Blackie! Two of my favorites on the farm.

My Down on the Farm stamps are going to be really simple stitches which can be finished in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail I mean calves's tail.

I am finishing mine into small pin pillows to be placed in a dough bowl or tucked anywhere. I tea dyed a bit of chenille yarn that I purchased at Walmart. I then twisted 2 strands and whipped stitched them along the seam. Easy Peasy. If you are interested in seeing how I finish my pin pillows with trim, just check out my Pin Pillow Tutorial post.

I will be sharing the Down on the Farm stamps ever so often on Fridays- just when I get the inspiration. These stitches are about life on the family farm.

If you are interested I shared Here , Chick, Chick! last week.

Maybe next week we can go to the other section of the farm to see if love is in the air with Big Bad Brad. Remember him. 

This handsome fellow may look gruff, but he is as gentle as a lamb.  His name is Big Bad Brad. 

Brad and the other gals are down in the bottoms or the lower fields. So I am not sure if I will see them. 

Working on nine patches today for Kathleen Tracy's Civil War quilt. 

I hope you have a fabulous Friday and...

 As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

A Hip Hopping Finish and A Down on the Farm Stamp Freebie

 Good Friday morning to you , sweet chicks. Please do come in and join me; I do have lots to share. A cup of hot coffee is sitting on the buffet for you to enjoy. Sugar ? Or do you like it black? If you are not a coffee lover , I do have iced sweet tea in the fridge. 🥤🤗

Eeeh! Woo Hoo! I am hip hopping happy!!!!

I have a finish! 🐰🐇🐰

The Easter Quilt is complete!

I believe I started it in 2019 or thereabouts. 

I have spent "many a hours" sitting on the porch stitching away on this colorful quilt. To be honest, I thought I would never complete it.🙄🤣  Hee! Hee!  

But here it is - in all it's glory!  In time for Easter! So to say I am hip hopping Happy is an understatement. 

The Easter quilt is machine pieced and hand quilted using the Baptist Fan design. 

The backing was a 100 % cotton sheet that is white with large pink polka dots on it. How perfect for an Easter quilt.

What else do I have to share? Well...

It is Farm Friday! And I will be working on a farm stitch. 

I have had the hankering to stitch some farm themed stamps for awhile. Well, I finally pulled out some floss and started one.

Cluck! Cluck! Of course I had to start out with a chicken stitch. Though I no longer have chickens, I am still known as the crazy chicken lady in some circles. Hee! Hee! I just love , love, love chickens!

This little stamp is called "Here , Chick Chick"!

Just two little chickens living wild and fancy free - frolicking in the flower garden. My hens were notorious for scratching my gardens up.

I will be sharing the little farm stamps ever so often on Fridays. I have no set schedule on their release just when one comes to me, and I finish it. They will mainly be about farm life and the things that I love. So far I have over 12 in mind and more are brewing.

Now I bet some of you are wondering about the Summer SAL. I am still thinking about it. I am toying with the idea of creating a lot of different stamps with various themes and then let you choose the colors , and stamps you want in your sampler. - Just a thought. 

 Hubby and I will be going to town today to get groceries for the upcoming Easter meal.  We also hope to visit some thrift shops and antique stores. Fingers crossed we will find some deals. 🤞

Well, I do believe I have rambled long enough. I wish you a hip hopping happy day! Love ya' a bushel and a peck !😘❤

 As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all
