Baby Goats...



We are delivering oats to the goat barn today



The baby goats came out to see 

what we are doing...






There isn't anything much cuter 

or more FUN than a

Baby Goat!



I captured this video of the Baby Goats:

Whole Cloth.....Design Work


I have been playing around on paper

doing some design work for a

whole cloth quilt I am planning to create...




Tracing Paper over the top of a 

9 patch quilt image

This is a design technique from 







2nd layer of tracing paper over the top...

filling in with feather motif.






3rd layer of tracing paper over the top...

trying out a few fill designs and edge designs.






I am working @ a slower pace than I would like...

Ralph insists on helping 

with the design process.




This is my second attempt 

at a whole cloth design:


First layer of tracing paper...

drawing in the basic design lines.






2nd layer of tracing paper...

I love feathers so here they are again!








As soon as Ralph is done with his nap...

I will draw in the fill work.




Here are the last images of the tulips:

















A storm moved in and finished off the tulips...





Henny Penny looks like she wants to sew

in the Thread Shed today...



I am hoping to work a bit more on the

whole cloth design on Monday.

Life @ the Goat Barn...



I took my camera along to the goat barn...



We are feeding nannies and kids 

this morning...






This is Lily






Her mama, Long Ears, is my favorite goat.

You can see that Lily inherited her mamas

beautiful long ears.




We are still in the calving mode...

a dozen cows left to calve yet.


This little white face calf makes me smile...

one black eye, one white eye.





This is the second set of twin calves...

They are several weeks old now and out in the

 pasture with their mama.



These are the last images of the tulips 

in the yard:


The morning sun and evening sun

make for terrific back-lit photography...











I am working on a whole cloth quilt project...

I will upload the design images soon.
