Veteran's Quilt Part 2

Sorry about the view of my toes....lol!!

I finished stitching down the eagle for the most part & decided to have a look at the other part of my project that spurred me to take this on in the first place. It's from a Bargello leftover. These days I don't throw anything away. After looking at the two together I knew it needed something. Mr. Cowboy strolled by & also noted that it needed something. So I decided to sleep on it. You know that things come to us quilters while we sleep.....hehehe!

After a couple of nights sleep I came up with the solution below.

I added a strip withe the words " Land of the Free" to divide the two. Mr. Cowboy was pleased & gave me two thumbs up.

All I need to do next is add a border. Stay tuned.

I saw this little funny on someone's blog & thought I'd re-share it.

Soon After This Photo.....

Mr. Cowboy snapped this photo to show me this fierce wild mama hog. She charged the holding causing Cowboy to drop his iPhone into the trailer with mad mama. Oh my gosh! 

Words were exchanged between Cowboy & mad mama hog as they fought over the phone ( as you can imagine, Cowboy was cussing, as we say here in Texas & the hog was lathering for a fight).

Cowboy managed to shove his phone towards a corner of the trailer using a long metal fence post just as mama hog charged for the kill. Mind you, she's in a ten foot by five foot area but could maneuver quite well. In other words, she's quick & mad as a hornet. 

Cowboy managed to scoot the phone off the back of the trailer. Remarkably it was in good shape & no, he wouldn't allow me to snap a photo of his phone or his expression!! Hehehehe 

Maybe I'll not ask for photos from him for awhile.
