Hello Cuties, well I finally got back to work on my deer panel quilt. It's a good size to wrap up in, about 50 x 70.

I free motioned quilted it, on my regular machine. I never tried anything this big before and don't think I will again, anytime soon-lol-I just couldn't seem to get the right picture, but I guess you can see well enough. I am satisfied with it, but wished I could have gotten the other panel made into a queen size top, before Christmas.
Anyway, I also made this duck panel. I'm giving it to my grandson Dalton who is expecting his first baby in March. I figure dad won't mind taking his turn helping with baby Dawson, if he has a duck hunter quilt-lol-I also free motion quilted this one. I changed thread color on the head and neck area. I also tried to stitch back and forth around the breast area to see if it helped with the feathers. I liked it okay but where I started and stopped, it pulled my dark thread out in the back and so I have little dark dots of thread showing on the blue....
Well, I hope you like my finished family gifts. I will try to catch up on birthdays and such. I was down with my back for a while. Went to doctor for shot and meds, then when getting over that caught a bad cold and ran fever for couple days.
Oh and to top all that, my husband and I got our Christmas present early...a water bill for $590! that we have to pay. We had a pipe broke in the back of our land that we did not know.
We had gone to church and afterwards to eat. Our son called. He was here and had gone to back shed to borrow something when he heard and saw the water all in the back. We weren't able to see it from the house and hadn't been back there in a while. He turned the water off and we came home. It only took them 15 minutes to fix. Needless to say, being sick for 3 weeks and having this too, has put a damper on my spirit as it's due Friday or after the 15th, delinquent charge will be $649 !....
