We picked up the rest of our chicks this weekend. They are really adorable. It's taking up some time getting the brooder all set up. The temperature, the bedding, waterer and feeder all just so. I think we got it now though. They are tons of fun to watch. I don't want this to turn into a chicken blog, so here's a picture of Molly. You'll notice it's a good picture, which means I didn't take it, my daughter got this of Molly playing with her new favorite toy this weekend. Molly has a lot of energy! Staying still is not the norm. I've been doing some sewing, in between tending to chickens and playing football with Molly, that I'll be sharing in a day or two.

Look what I got

My new girls!!

Happiness is...

A new blade for my rotary cutter A quilt top finished before 8:00 am A buddy who stayed still just long enough. Molly could use some dog modeling lessons from doggie blog friend http://www.designsbyloftcreations.com/2013/03/stark.html

March's ufo's

I want to finish this second pink and green scrappy quilt A very old ufo, I'd like to finish it for spring. A baby quilt, other very old one, forgotten and lonely. This week my top priority is getting a quilt made and in the mail for Margaret's Hope Chest http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/. Time to get moving!

I started out with a big bucket of scraps, some of which I used to make my own fabrics. I wanted to make another scrap quilt like this one. When I did this quilt I wasn't happy with it until I put in the black snowball squares. So with my pink and green made fabric I wasn't happy either, until I thought I need a unifying element in each block. I started with a pinwheel and then used either made fabrics or scraps. I didn't like all of the blocks together and have ended up with two smaller quilt tops rather than one large one. I'm growing tired of working with scraps. Time to finish these up and move on! Does anyone else have problems getting their pictures or words where they want them?
