Earlier today my best Girl Scout and I went to deliver cookies
Be sure to get yourself a box or two or three and support your local Girl Scout Troops

Thursday's project..Homespun Rag Quilt
 Old Road Primitives shared a tutorial that inspired me.  I had never made one before, but I was able to start and finish it all in one day!  These quilts seem to go together really quickly...and I don't even own a rotary cutter, cut all 80 fabric squares & batting by hand with good ole scissors ...boy oh boy was my hand tired...LOL...but hey! I used up some of my Homespun Stash!

~ Maygan says it's cozy...she slept with it last night :)

Stay Cozy my Friends,
Traci

  2. Love the pictures of displays in your kitchen. Just prim perfect. Great job on the quilt. I haven't gotten the courage to try one yet. Love the pictures of the trees. Sapping trees has always amazed me. Have a good Sunday and stay warm. Oh,and I love the Girl Scout shortbread and the mint cookies. Always have to get a few boxes.

  7. Hi Traci, It's been blustery and snowy here today too. Love all your new pictures, thank you so much for sharing! Your new quilt came out awesome! I too saw Kim's tutorial and thought it was wonderful.I have added it to my long,long list of things I would like to try my hand at. But, now seeing yours and knowing it doesn't take that long, I just might be giving it a try a lot sooner. Enjoy your Sunday sweetie!

  8. Love the photos Traci.
    I seen Kim's tutorial on the rag quilt and
    added it to my to-do list.
    Your's turned out beautiful. I am one also that will
    have to use the scissors to cut out the squares by hand.
    Maybe I should get started now, Lol!
    Have a wonderful weekend!

  10. Well, now I know how far behind I really am...I haven't even gotten to Kim's tutorial - and here you have it all done and did already. Can I just give up now??? Love your kitchen pics - I'm in scale and Rumford love.....And, really - Girl Scout cookie time already??? Usually we end up with hubby, me and Little Crow ordering and getting cookies, and I don't think any one of us got to order any this year....going to have to go scouting some Girl Scouts me thinks!! ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

  16. Happy Sunday Traci..sounds like you had a fun day in the kitchen.
    Love your patchwork quilt..turned out Prim Perfect...I bet your hand was tired if you cut all your squares at one time..
    Your right they are perfect for using up scraps of cloth. My sister n law Peg makes patchwork quilts regularly & I sell them for her on Ebay..They are really popular and sell really well...

    Have a great Day!
