WIP Wednesday

.Snow,snow, and more snow!!!  This is one long winter,  but enough whining..LOL and on to works in progress,eh.  I am on the home stretch for this DWR...a few more days of hand quilting.
It has been a few weeks for this one, but almost there!!!  I have my Garden Fence on Tiara...started it this morning. I do about 1/4of the quilt at a time.
I did this little wall hanging a few days ago on Tiara
and I have a few more blocks pieced for Stash stars
That's about it for me this week....besides washing walls. And my flag was posted yesterday.
I am linking up to http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/2014/03/wip-wednesday-134-tn.html and Freshly Pieced Modern

Flags on a Stick!!!!!

Time for another fun blog hop....and my day!  I've never actually made a flag before, but had to give it a go.  Madame Samm and Thearica have been very hard at work organizing this hop for all of us;so, let's have some fun!!!!

My little project shows each one of our seasons and my hobby....so here goes




We have the leaves for Fall...flowers for Spring...Solstice for Summer, and tractor for Winter. I know the last 2 are hard to see...they are photos on fabric; not vibrant.
The Solstice is my baby!!!!  the tractor is hubby's baby,,,lol.  and we have quilts on the clothes line.
These are the things that keep me busy year round here at home. Actually, the tractor is used year round, but is wonderful for snow removal!!!!!  the Solstice gives us lots of fun rides during our short summers.

Here is a close up of the  two pictures...

Shepody's Quilter is my website.....this flag will hang as a banner in my shop where I show my quilts during the summer months.  Well, I hope you enjoyed this and will visit the rest of the blogs participating today.

My attempt at McTavishing!!!!

I have to keep at this...it is so much fun!!!!!!  My friend Connie sent me Amy's link, and I am so happy she did!  this is just what I need right now.   So here is my first attempt at it

I know....not the best....but I had fun!    Here is today's start on one; which I left like this because I am looking for something for a small block.  
I do like quilting like this and will definitely keep at it.
I tend to have trouble with the little fillers between the swirls. I hurry too much...LOL
