Prairie Flower Photo Shoot

 Hello Everyone,

Serendipitynoun Definition:  The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way

Last Monday night we met the family at the local Cattlemens restaurant to celebrate our grandson's 20th birthday.  We've been to that restaurant a lot over the past few decades.  Did we ever notice the wagon out front until now?


We thought that it would be the PERFECT place to do a photo shoot for Prairie Flower to showcase Conestoga Crossing fabric by Pam Buda for Marcus Fabrics.

 
We got the okay from the manager, then started taking pictures.
 





Just as we were finishing up, a Coors beer delivery truck drove up.  I think I'm going to leave it in the picture to make the cowboy a happy camper. Perhaps I shouldn't put this picture on the front of the pattern cover without a little "photoshopping" first.


Thank you all for your comments over the past few weeks.  I seem to have picked up some new readers who are 'no reply' status, so I can't thank you personally for commenting.  Please know that I read, and enjoy every single comment. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to send me a message. 

Now that this quilt is going in the box and shipping out TODAY, I can resume my normal, less hectic life......until this Saturday when I'm headed off to Napa for a lecture and workshop for the Napa Valley Quilters. Hopefully I'll have time to stop at a winery and enjoy a sip or three.

By the way, getting back to our grandson's birthday dinner. Austin finished off a 32 ounce steak with all the side dishes, in addition to the leftover steak his little brother didn't eat, and birthday cake.  You would have had to put in the wagon and roll me home!

Soon,
Lynn

  3. Congratulations Lynn...it is a beautiful quilt. I think you should add "Time Bender" to your bio - This beauty was created in an amazingly short period - (with Gail's help, of course!)

  5. I'm just amazed at how fast you finished Prairie Flower, Lynn! Serendipitous, in every way. She was meant to be. Gail deserves even more cookies for her part in this, too! Congratulations to Austin for saying goodbye to those awkward teen years!
    Cheers!
