QUILTINGAL'S LIFE
Ray and Rose Mary Martin donated a "chuck wagon supper" for a fund raiser last Christmas.  Terry (hubby) purchased two tickets and last week we went to our chuck wagon supper. Let me give you the setting for the evening, 5 covered wagons circled our eating area,

steaks grilling over an open fire, a chuck wagon with the food supplies (in background),
Rose Mary and Ray grilling steaks.
eating out side with tin plates, top notch food and to add to all that great fellowship.  The atmosphere was just amazing.  Then after supper we sat around the camp fire and listened to embarrassing moment, hunting experiences and skid loader rides.  We laughed so hard.

  1. Sure enjoy seeing this quilt take shape.
    The Chuck wagon supper looks amazing. Are they the ones who go out West every year with Norma and Gordie on a short Wagon train trip?

    1. Yes, they go on a trip with Gordies, but it's not out west.

  2. Nothing like enjoying a great meal (I'm hungry thinking of grilled steak) shared with friends and laughter. Your quilt is amazing. The second one is shaping out well too! Those triangle pieces would have to be incredibly exact! Amazing! I did step back as suggested and I see you have another design (diamonds) that is taking place too! Wonderful!

  6. Hello QuiltinGal,

    Those stars are going to look terrific - and I like the one in the ironing picture too. Wouldn't mind one of those steaks, either.

    Love from England,
