Our school room looks quite messy right now... just when I got it all neat and organized. Yes, we've started another project. That drawer of material is just a sample of the other four lying on the floor! We were greatly blessed by a box full of material from another homeschool mom whose family is moving.
We recently joined our church quilting bee ministry. There is a beginners corner with a wonderful teacher! We will be attending this group once a month. In the meantime, Taylor and I have homework! After cutting lots of 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 squares of material, we were sent home with a pile of them. I was told to create twelve 9-patch blocks out of them. Well, to my dismay, the colors didn't match at all. I couldn't handle that. SO, out came the mess of material!
Here's what we came up with. The floral on this first block (the first we've ever made!) and the yellow were from the church. We found a nice green to coordinate.

Here's the second block (that we've ever made) uses the green and yellow materials from the church and a floral from my boxes.

I like the first, Taylor likes the second. What do you think? I need some help choosing a solid that will go in between all of the blocks. Quilters... please post! :-)

I hope to get some more pictures posted of Peaceful Meadows. This is the farm that we volunteer to work at on Friday mornings. We clean stalls and pens. Occasionally, we wash and brush the horses. This miniature horse is named Amber. She's a good girl. She needs to be exercised daily. Unfortunately, we're not able to help more than once a week. We would love to recruit some other families to help at this farm. It's fun and educational! There is a very special cause in it, too. This farm is being built as a ministry. There is a huge vision here. God has His timing and provisions lined up. Is your family one of them? If so, please come visit Dennis and Judy at Peaceful Meadows.

You may contact Judy at any time to volunteer or just visit.

Their phone number is 210-649-4179.

Right after Christmas, we did a service project with our scout troop. We planted 20 trees at the church that charters the troop.

I have several other pictures of all of us in action, but I don't have permission to post them here. If your in the scout troop, check on the yahoo group.
