farm and binding.........

Not in any real order of events but here's some pics I've taken in the last few weeks..........

Today will be cloudy again........we had about 37mm here yesterday..........maybe a little misty shower but I think that will be it until Saturday..........so nice not to have to think about driving to town for work with the rain...........

there's been some gorgeous sunsets.........even annoying Mr Chooky to stop driving so I can take pics............

hidden locations.........

the colours........

a patch on the farm clearly I have never been in in a good season..........the grasses are so long.......maybe 4-5ft..........It was interesting trying to ride a bike in here...........

it was pretty cool thought I felt like I had gone to another world..........it was very enchanting for me and I could go in there and stay all day............

there's been misty scuds around prior to the good rain...........

this little fellow was pretty new working in the yards..........

this girls are in great condition............fatty boom booms............

Mr Serious or should I say Master Serious......lets just say I was not trusting him.......hes like a rebellious teenager.......you don't know whats coming next..............

the dams are all full..........wonderful site..........

I love following along a mob of cows............

And this sunflower would have to be the biggest I have ever seen.............the grasses around it are 3-4 ft deep..........I would say it would be 9-10ft high..........the only one I could see anywhere........

this bubba was dropped in the yards..........it was still wet where I took this pic...........

this is the binding pile..........having knocked over the 2 quilts (posts to come) that had binding attached I have all these to work on............it's all cut just needs to be joined and attached the the quilt..............

I did this one first at a friends random colour choice.............

its a job I hate attaching binding............

but the job was so much easier once I changed the foot to the accufeed foot............just goes to show how long since I have done this I forgot what foot to use..............dopey...........

Then its the nervous part of making sure you have not caught any other quilt up underneath when trimming the edges..............

that's 3 prepped to hand sew the bind down.........I have started on the orange one..........

BUT right now I am going out to do another one............

&&&&

I do love being up close with my quilts again and it is like the beginning of the end hand sewing the binding down..........its like saying farewell to your quilt.........admiring the design, the colours, going thru the reasons why you made the quilt.........bringing back the memories of where the fabric came from...........who you were with either shopping or sewing the top.........who quilted it.......finding those last loose bits of thread........the weight and feel of the quilt......

Am I just odd or do you think about this when binding???

Actually don't answer that I know I am odd..............

BUT do you think about the above when binding????

Keep the love of blogging alive..........

Catch you later...........
