The barn wall hanging with pix of my family is in the works....

I am finding it challenging as I describe myself as a quilter w/ ADHD.....

Here is what we have so far



I know the silo is a bit crooked but am telling myself that's what makes it mine! :shock:
I have learned that I should use pins if I want things to line up....and it hurts to stab yourself with the seam ripper... :roll:

Thanks for peeking....

guess you figured it out quicker then I could reply!!

Hey!!! You're doing a great job!! Keep on updating us with pics ok??

thanks...I will add to this post as I add to it lol...I promised my little guy that we wold build a pirate ship now since he played nicely while I had some quilting time :)

Ahhh I wanna help build a pirate ship!!! Yo ho ho and a bottle of root beer!!! Where's my eye patch when I need it!

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more.

How did the pirate ship turn out. I bet that was fun! Nice block.

Lookin' good! I see you're a lot more adventerous than I - my skies are 'one color'.

What size is the picture in the barn door?

You are certainly adventurous for your first project!!! I think the picture of you in the barn door is great. Keep up the good work

That's what I said! :wink: Angie mentioned to me--in our many emails--that she was it--and I told her, ever so gently, (right drivin'?) that many patterns--this one in particular--needs a bit of presicion. :lol:

I think she should try crumb squares next--Ang--you will love those. :D Except she doesn't have enough fabric yet.... well--for a few squares....

But--on with the barn quilt! Are you planning on making wall hangings, or a quilt?

Very cute! Your doin' great! The first quilts I made were machine applique baby quilts, then my first pieced quilt was a double wedding ring, So after that everything else has been a piece of cake! You get this done and you got "er whupped!!!

Cool! I like the way you put the pic in the doorway.

thanks everyone...Although I have worn a path from my kitchen table to the computer to email Karla for help-I am having a good time.

I had to choose this project since Karla wouldn't make me one LOL :lol:

The picture is about 3.5" which ended up being a bit big...thanks to Karla's fearless guidance I added a deeper seam.....and it fixed it.

Oh and the pirate ship turned out great!

Angie

today I tackle trees after I feed the horses and run.....

I have to say...I was going to give the latest barn one to Angie--but then she mentioned making one. I laughed and kept it going to my niece-- it's so much more fun for her to have HER horse in there rather than mine. :wink:

I love your bravery and perseverance!! Awesome qualities. :D

Hey--does that tie in the the training donkeys thing? :lol:

Very nice and who cares if your barn leans a bit since it survived a MAJOR storm. Great job.

WOW! great job on your first project so far. Cant wait to see more pics :) I dont think I could attempt that one.

Thats great, keep up the good work :D

That is so cute and I am sure the wind has blown the silo to the side!! I also think it is a hard 1st project and it looks just great.

Wish me luck- I am trying the trees this am.....pix later today :)

Angie

That is so cute! Just tell everyone it is an Iowa silo - we've had so many storms this year, everything is leaning :lol:

You're doing great! Karla must have sent you her great quilting vibes! Keep going!

that is so cool. I like the pic. It adds a great touch. your doing a great job. keep it up. Can't wait to see more pics on this....

ok...here is the update for today....

I made 3 trees w/ Karla's help and advice LOL then I ended up attaching a tree block to the left, a tree block to the barn and decided where I want the other 2 pix to go.....

I probably wont get to work on it for 2 days since we are putting on a deck....but stay tuned on Friday LOL

Lookin' good! Karla's the best, isn't she?

very nice

Ohhh this is working out sooooo well, I love it, and look forward to seeing it completed and at this rate it won't be long now :D

You are doing a great job. I wish I had a mind that could think up ideas like that. I need to have instructions and directions to get my projects done. keep up the good work.
