Check out these young bucks! I caught them creeping around the farmstead, looking for the mistletoe. Even though they are great-grandparents now, they are still feeling as frisky as ever. You really have to keep an eye on them.
They came out to the farmstead to check out our John Deere Village, over the holiday season. And to make sure that HH and I are displaying all of our lustrous quilts (Grandma "Jones" pieces together with love), appropriately. I did not realize how much TLC goes into quilts, until I married into a family were you are born with a thimble on your finger. Hence, I have learned numerous things that you are not supposed to do to quilts; to spare you the humiliation and guilt I will share some of those situations with you.
1. If you are sitting on a bed that is covered with a "quality" quilt, do not slide your booty around on top of it. Gently pick up your rear end and move it off of the designated area. If you slide, you risk pulling on the threads of the quilt and thus, making the pin holes loose.
2. Keep your quilts in a shaded location. Otherwise, just like ensembles in gorgeous little boutique windows, they will fad and be worthless.
3. Well, I have only those two oops-a-daisy's. But give me time, since the learning curve is continual, it is only a matter of time until I am bound to absorb another lesson.
Attempting to keep the blood pressure low, for quality quilters everywhere,
Farming Fabulously
