One hexie-flower was all I managed on Day 19. After a busy day I decided a hand sewn block would be a good way to end the day!
This is not the start of a new project (!!) - it will be added to the box labelled '2022 quilt' which will include all the random 'must do' blocks that I have accumulated throughout the year. Hence the 2022 block I made earlier in the month.
We're not having the speediest start to the calving season - we only have had two cows calve so far. (198 to go!)
This is our second calf, and will be the first keeper that I will raise to (eventually) go into the herd.
We spent a bit of time (and $$!) putting roller doors onto one side of the calf shed recently. Up until now everything happened through the one door that we had. All the bales of shavings got pushed through that door and then all the used shavings got removed through that door. With the roller doors we'll be able to use the tractor to do those jobs a lot more easily. Also on fine days we'll be able to open the roller doors to let the air flow through.
'til next time,
happy stitches,
Nice block........ And the rollerdoor will make life so much easier for you........
ReplyDeleteCute block. What will happen with the box full of random 2022 blocks?
ReplyDeleteSounds like that door will make life a lot easier.
Two arrived, many more to come. It's certainly a busy time on the farm for you.
ReplyDeletewith only 2 calves and so many left to go it sounds like you will be busy all at once!!
ReplyDeleteNothing nicer than a hexie flower! The roller door looks like it is going to make life a lot easier. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat hexie block Raewyn. Two cute calves there. The improvements to your calving shed are well worth it. Should make your working life so much easier.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very sweet hexie flower. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteThe calves look so gorgeous when they are first born. Hope they keep warm.
With 198 to go you will be busy.
