WIP Wednesday 9.9.15

Still working on getting back into the groove... School is in full force now. Let's get ready to longarm -- and finish! Here's what happened this week:

I finished this table runner for a friend. The blocks are Tall Fly blocks won from the February, 2013, Block Lotto.

I finished another tumbler rug. This is part of Bonnie Hunter's Tumbler Challenge project. I love my little border on this one!

I finished the August indigo blocks for the RSC15 Sampler. Love these blocks!

I completed the August assignment for the Pat Sloan Vacation Time 2015 Mystery Quilt. Here they are strung across my desk:

I did a lot of weeding. My chickens seemed to appreciate it and hopped on this old stump for a fun photo.

I made this little chicken coop out of scrap items (wood) that I got for free on Craigslist. I also did a lot of weeding to get the area clear around it. I told my husband that I could make a coop for almost free. Working with wood was a little similar to quilting. I had to measure and measure again, than cut and put it back together. I have a few more woodworking projects in my mind. I just need time.

Here's the little stand with perches on it for the hens that I bred and raised myself. There's also a drawer (community) nesting box behind the privacy curtains where they can lay eggs in peace. It is made of vintage billboards (as is a lot of the coop).
