FreeCycle Strikes Again!

I love wooden ladders, this kind and the old school kind.  I now am the proud new owner of this little beauty.  I know in my head what it will look like when it it all 'sone up'.  It might not be this year but most definitely next year this little baby will be awesome.  That is if I can keep Mark from putting it in the trash.

Not Really Trash, But A Treasure

I love quilting and I love barns.  I love traveling a quilt trail.  Since we are working on our 10 year to clean up and create a garden filled yard...and we are into the 6th year...it is time to create our backyard quilt square.

I am starting with a 4 foot by 4 foot piece of Lowe's plywood.  I've primed both sides (just in case I mess up one side I will be ready to go again on the other). I have always known that I would do an Ohio Star.  But if all goes well, I might just have to make a smaller log cabin square.

I had a little help with color design.  Michael, Luke and I spent one afternoon in the garage with a box of colored pencils.

Mr John taught me a little trick with a chalk line that made things so much easier.

Then I talked to Lizzie at Cedarmore Farm, and she convinced me to use true Amish quilting colors.  Now all I need to do it go to Lowe's and pick them out!

Something Old Will Be New Again...Sorta

On the way out of the subdivision today I spotted this is a neighbors trash.  I have several now that I can hang on the fence...pictures of said fence will come at a later date....as soon as I can get some help hanging them.
