Another Deer Hunting Weekend has come to an End...

This weekend we traveled up north to Shawano for another Deer Hunting Weekend.  Mom and friend Judy headed up on Thursday to open up the house and turn up the heat, and Karen and I were planning on heading up Friday after work.  However, surprise, surprise what the weather man predicted as some flurries, turned into quite the snow storm.  I was worried that morning that Karen and I were not going to be able to travel up to Shawano, but the man upstairs was listening to our prayers and cleared the snow in time for Karen and I to leave.

We arrived in Shawano at 8:30pm and quickly unpacked the car in the chilly temperatures...the temperature had dropped to 4 degrees by this point!

Saturday morning dawned sunny but cold.  Time to get sewing!  I was able to finish sewing together dad's rag quilt on Saturday.  If you remember this was supposed to be a Christmas present and it did not get done in time!  So, he got a bag of fabric for Christmas with the promise I would finished the quilt soon!  While here we are in February and I just go it sewn together.  Now to snip it and wash it so it rags!



After sewing together the rag quilt, I wanted to have some fun.  So I pulled out my red and white fabric and put together this little wall hanging.



I am going to use the twister tool on it, so it is not quite finished yet, but I think it looks so cute already!!

Sunday morning came and there was only a little time to sew.  I had some flowers that needed to be appliqued and so I grabbed 2 of the 4 and did some applique.  They turned out quite cute I think.  Only two more to applique and then I can sew together my wall hanging!



Another successful Deer Hunting weekend has come to a close!  Sad to see it end...too much quilting to do, not enough time to get it all done!  Time to unpack and get things put away!!!

Until the next quilting adventure!!!
