July OMG

I finished hand stitching this hand pieced flowering snowball together this afternoon to complete my OMG for July. Now to press it and prep it for hand quilting. I think I managed to flip my rows somewhere along the way but I'm leaving it as is. Linking up with ElmStreetQuilts for One Monthly Goal.


These girls came running when I went outside for the photo. We have one chicken who is broody and we take her out of the nesting box a few times a day.  She has plucked all the feathers off her underside to better heat those eggs that will never hatch as we don't have a rooster. Poor girl. She does eat and drink when we take her out which is good. 


I have not gotten much accomplished on my day off sewing wise... but I did get a walk in this morning, colored that grey in my hair (when I asked Aidan if he noticed anything different and he said 'No', Hubby kindly said I got younger! We will see if Em notices when she gets home from school shopping and lunch with Grandma.) and washed the sheets. I also set up my new Fitbit Charge 4 that arrived today. The screen on my old Charge 3 was starting to have lines through it.

I think Flowering Snowballs is really pretty! The rest of us will never know which rows got flipped. 😉 Poor mama hen who thinks she's hatching some babies - who knew that chickens had mental health issues?!

it seems one needs to learn a bit about chickens to raise them :) I wish way back when that I had just let my gray grow naturally in my hair but I totally understand dying it - I did for years before I finally last year let it grow out permanently -- quilt top looks perfect
