I'm slowly getting the hexie flower sewn together for the grandmother's flower garden table runner that's supposed to go on the top of the old blanket chest.
There are papers pinned to the center of the flowers so it gets sewn into the correct place.
This is what the backside of the flowers look like. The papers have been taken out of the centers of the flowers.
It's not quite halfway finished yet.
The farmer sold most of the cows last year but he still has a heifer and two milking cows on the farm. Since spring is finally here, it's time for them to head down into the pasture.
Allie was the first one to start down into the field.
Then Maryn decided to go.
Katniss picked up the pace a little when she saw the other two were down in the field!
The whole field for just three head!
They don't seem to know what to do. Normally the group runs to the the east side of the field, turn the corner then start running back. They also like to kick up their heels.
Really, you've got the whole field and you're going to eat grass in the rocky spot?
After I put my phone away, they did start running and kicking up their heels a little.

Kathi
Your small herd is living in luxury with an entire field to themselves! Your EPP project is growing and looks great on the front and the back.
Your grandmother flowers table runner is looking beautiful, Gretchen. So many stitching hours till here.
The herd of Mr. Farmer has 3 lucky cows.
Fun seeing your EPP! And yes, those cows--fun to see and hear about their spring excitement!
So much grass to munch and so little time! They sure do have lots of area to explore. Your flowers are beautiful. Enjoy your week.
Nice work on the grandmothers flower garden runner, it will be lovely. Maybe the cows just can't believe that beautiful grass is real, after a long winter! Thank goodness for spring.
Wow you hexie flowers are looking good!
Your hexie table runner is coming together beautifully. Happy stitching this week.
The hexie table runner will be lovely. That is funny the cows decide to graze in the rocky area! Happy stitching!
Do you suppose those cows missed their buddies? Sunshine, and cows romping in the grass sure makes me smile. No matter the age, they all would kick up their heels! Your table runner is amazing!
Your hexie table runner will turn out beautiful.
Funny to see the cows strolling out onto the field, and that they don't run dancing onto the field
Your table runner will be so pretty! Such neat stitching! 😊
Your EPP project is looking fabulous. The back looks super neat too.
I love your cows names. So much grass for them to work their way through :)
Your hexie table runner is looking really pretty! Here via Handmade Monday.
Your hexie table runner is looking fabulous, Gretchen and I am sure a joy to work on. I loved seeing your darling heifers. Lol I just love to see the cows and calves when they kick up their heels. Have a great week.
So beautiful! It looks as pretty from the front as from the back!
Good job, Gretchen, on the hexie flowers! Oh the cows! Being a farm kid, myself, I know this behavior! Dad milked a large herd of Holsteins, and they were just as frisky in the spring when first let out into the pastures. Thanks for sharing!
Hexies are habit forming and a great sit down project. You've got a beautiful project going.
I grew up on a farm with cows and part of my married life. Cows can be interesting characters.
Found you over at Days Filled with Joy
It must be fun to see the cows running around and kicking up their heels!
Flower Garden looking great! The cows are probably really kicking up their heels by now with all that wonderful green grass! Hugs
Those Flower Garden hexies are just so pretty! Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings!
Your EPP hexies are looking great! Oh, and those cows... funny things!! Wish I could have a cow or two :) I hope you had a great week and thanks for joining in on Monday This and That! xx
I loved the pictures of the cows. In the spring I often feel like romping in the fields. But today it snowed again, so I am delaying romping until maybe next week. Your grandmother's flower garden flowers are beautiful. Hugs, Judy
