nameless...(updated name Mobstar Quilt).....

EDIT Thanks to Jude and Pat I names this one Mobstar as per there suggestion.........mob of sheep and the start pattern.

9/9 bindings this one was finished weeks ago but I had to try and get pics..........

I started this quilt back in 2017 and it was the first quilt that Kris @ Tag Along Teddies kicked my butt on that started the crazy Christmas sewing blitz of 2017

 

"So what do I think of this quilt?????"

"Hang on let me have a look......."

"I need a really close look..........checking out the seams and quilting........."

 

Well as I took photos in the woolshed last time I mentioned mustering and Carole @ From my Carolina Home asked me "what is mustering".........

Mustering is when you go out in the paddocks/fields/pasture and check all paddock and find the stock be that cows or sheep in that paddock and muster them ie bring them back to the holding yards to do work with them mostly.........or move them to another paddock......

You can do this by vehicle, motorbike, horse and sometimes dogs with you..........we use bikes and dogs sometimes depending on the job........

We have 4 wheel motor bikes........its a bit slower then usual at present as the grass is so long and dangerous as you don't see logs, holes and stumps etc but it is a good problem with all the grass.........we have feed..........

I took some pics first on the gate and tree and then had to wait for Mr Chooky to be the quilt holder............yes he thinks I am nuts having pics taken in mobs of sheep but hey........I met the stock challenge for Rose Marie........not cows but at least sheep.........it's far to wet to get to the cows.........

Golden hour was in full swing the other afternoon and the colours were amazing and I just loved mustering..........this afternoon I was moving them from one paddock to another to be closer to the yards for the next day.........

the sheep just kept running around him while he held the quilt up...........

the grass heads were catching the light..........the temperature was pretty nice for autumn..........

If you look close in this pic the sheep are winding like a big long snake almost to the top left of the grass in this photo...........the grass is long and they just were following each other as when the others went thru they knocked the grass down a bit........

Trying to be artistic I threw it over a tree branch............

This is my second quilt using grey.........

3rd Moda Love Quilt between Fairy Girl and myself..........

The gate was useful............and look at that stunning custom quilting by Jude............gorgeous custom quilting......

These sheep were penned up to be drafted where we sorted them out between ewes and big lambs that had got mixed up.........Last week we shore all the lambs..........next week hopefully we will be shearing the ewes.......weather has not been with us shearing wise.........sheep need to be dry to shear...........

So now I need your help..............

this quilt needs a name.......I did get one but it doesn't suit..........

When push comes to shove.....

When push comes to shove maybe I should say gentle encouragement...........no actually she was talking whip cracking to keep me on task so lets leave it is was..........

I was laying on the lounge in the Chookshed looking at the design wall with bits  of a quilt on it................I text Kris @ Tag Along Teddies about a parcel.............the long and the short of it is she got my A%$#$#SE moving and I got motivated to sew..............I kept sending her photos of my progress to remain accountable........

The fabrics are from Washington Depot by Denyse Schmidt and I got mine at The Next Stitch ..............I used the Moda Love pattern that I have made previously and I love it as a quick effective design...........I didn't quite have the right size blocks as I wasn't using a layer cake so I cut everything 1/2inch smaller.............I think it will measure about 68x68in now.
So here is Christmas Star as named by Kris............
this is my second quilt using grey and surprise surprise I am really happy with the quilt........

So after all that sewing I was very motivated and pulled out Framed (my first grey quilt)..........I started this one back in June? God knows why I never got back to it..............Fairy Girl packed it up from the design wall when we were cleaning up the chookshed..............loving how this is coming together too and I'm running out to the Chookshed to get a little done before I head to work.............

Not sure whats wrong......boxing day my machines even did something unheard of.......never knew it was possible.......I actually mended 3 items.......inbetween my 4 nanna naps..........

Catch you later.....

PS after a 1000 texts back and forwards thanks heaps Kris but how is the pattern writing going?????
