Ramblings From Randi, The Wild Rose Quilter
My adventures in quilting, my adventures at Hackberry Spring Ranch, and other tidbits of my life.
Sometimes simple custom quilting is the perfect touch to make a quilt shine. My client requested custom quilting, but wanted it simple, with just background stipple around the butterflies. I think it turned out very nicely! What do you think? Are you a fan of the simple stipple, no absolutely not? Personally, I think it has its place, for sure.
July 5th, we went to the ranch and I took one of my older quilts with me to take some #quiltsinthewild pics with it. I hung it on this section of fence by the old garage, and as I knelt down to straighten the bottom corner by that little cedar tree, while my head was right next to the tree, a loud hissing noise came from inside of it. I jumped back, not knowing what was making that sound so close to my face.
I walked around to the other side of the tree to investigate. At first, I couldn’t comprehend what I was seeing, at first glance my brain thought melting snow, but it’s July, so obviously not that, lol.
And then, I noticed the feet.
Two fluffy baby turkey vultures! What a complete surprise to find those under that cedar. I was obsessed with them this summer. I was worried for them with so many predators around, but I’ll save you the worry and put a spoiler alert here. As far as I can tell, they made it to flight stage just fine. I have to run now, but there will be more to see on these two in upcoming posts! Have a fabulous Friday!
Gosh y’all…it’s been a minute! Summer was incredibly busy, and I just pretty much let my posting on all my media accounts slide. Thought I’d pop in quickly this morning as I try to get back on track. Keeping up with blogging, IG and FB does tend to be a big time sucker and I just needed a bit of a break while I focused on other aspects of life. I spent lots of time with my grandsons this summer, and lots to keep up with in my quilting work, plus I got started on a BIG project at the ranch that I’ve been dreaming about for the past 4 years. I’ll get to that in future posts, but the summer was great. All is well and I appreciate those that missed me and reached out to check! Thank you!
At the beginning of June, we had a lovely getaway with my son and his family to Red River, NM. We hiked to the top of one of the mountain trails, and we all made it, including the youngest grand, who is 7. It was a great day and precious memories made.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by. I’ll be recapping more of the summer and catching up with my blog reading as I go. Now, I’m going to give the golden doodle another brushing before he goes to the groomer this morning.
