Last Thursday DH saddled up and trailered out at 4 a.m. to help a neighbor gather some country.
Then he helped them brand on Saturday. I'm so glad we're beginning to meet folks and that he's getting to help with cow works again. We're so happy here, but he's managed ranches all his life and I think he's missed this part of it a little. Once a rancher, always a rancher and I love that about him.
Right now, our herd is 12 hours away and we're incredibly grateful to have them. Lease country is hard to come by, but we're praying for an opportunity to move them closer at some point.
While he was helping the neighbors, I started the morning on the deck and added a few stitches to my binding.
Then I popped into my sewing room. I spent an hour pressing and trimming threads from a quilt top and securing the edges by taking a final lap around it
I cut out a new apron for myself and stitched it together
Then I started working on the I Spy quilt for our grandson
I'm waffling between 2 designs so that means I'll probably be making 2 which just means 1 gets to stay at Gram's house. 😉
A little bit of deck time working on binding + time spent adding stitches to projects to move them forward = a good day.

You had a nice quiet day at home stitching, a very pleasant day indeed. Enjoy piecing the I Spy quilts!
The red and blue light effect in the first picture made me think there had been some kind of road accident, I raced through the whole post to be sure all was well. Maybe I should switch to de-caff.

Nice view to do binding. Looking forward to seeing your I Spy quilt. I want to make a couple for future babies but can’t decide on size or how exactly to do it.
