Lucy, Lipstick and a Lazy Sunday...........

Hey Yall!
    I hope everyone has had a nice and pleasant Sunday afternoon. It has been a beautiful day here around the farm.
 I cooked a nice dinner of ham, black eyed peas, creamed corn, potato salad (made with Klondike Gold potatoes) sliced tomatos, cornbread and ice tea. And a nice, big fat slice of pound cake for dessert. And I had great plans for after dinner......
I wanted to work on my  new Lucy Boston Block and
I wanted to give this Lass some lipstick.....
But....

You know what they say about the best laid plans. yep, me and those Klondike Gold potatoes had a fight and they won! Egads..... This really stinks yall. I can't hold a needle. :(
But I did see a gorgeous barn and barn Quilt yesterday up in Tennessee. I knocked on the door but no one answered. I wanted to meet the person that made this. I don't think I have seen this block before.
 linking up with a really lazy Sunday  with Kathy at Slow Stitchin Sunday! Yall should see some of the gorgeous slow stitchin going on over there!
Folks, I hope yall have had an awesome week. Happy Thanksgiving to all our sweet Canadian friends! It's been a beautiful week around here in more ways than one. Even if I can't sew.
And I would love to give a very warm welcome to two of my newest friends and followers.....
Deborah at Little Ms Sew Un-sew ( yall should check out her medallion - awesome)
and
maureen at The jubilee Quilt Project. yall should see what she is working on there! Gorgeous!
Welcome to the farm ladies!! Feel free to grab a tractor from the sidebar yall and plow along with us!
And thank yall for all the super sweet comments on my last post. That gentleman made my day!
Now I gotta go find some Neosporin and see if I can't get this thumb well.
Watch out for those Klondike Gold Potatoes yall!

    I'm so sorry you are injured. I've been there only I fought the Bacon. Your projects are beautiful and will be ready for you when you are better.
    That is a cool barn block. I really need to make one.

    I am in love with your Lucy Boston blocks. I know you ask if anyone had any tips on fussy cutting. I'd love to know your techniques. You do a beautiful job of fussy cutting. I've never had much success with it. i'm hoping I can make the blocks using traditional hand piecing as I haven't done EPP. I am doing a Grandmother's Flower Garden with traditional hand piecing. A Lucy Boston quilt book is on my wish list for Christmas.
    The block on the side of the TN barn is unique.
    I love gold potatoes. It's understandable why that are named GOLD!
    I enjoy your blog. I follow via Bloglovin'.

    Oh, peeling and slicing can be very dangerous indeed! Love your projects.

    OH dear... a stitcher with a thumb injury is a disaster! Hope it helps up quick, so you don't have to be too stitch deprived!
