The Ranchre's Daughter Quilt Along (Week 21) Lady of the Lake

The Rancher's Daughter at work...

I didn't realize my son was snapping pics of me while I worked today in his work studio!
So here I am, determined to get another block out for you ladies.
 

Lady of the Lake

I had some 'sidekick' help today too...

Little Miss Em coloring in my sketch for me.

She also threaded the needle for me too,

since I couldn't find my glasses...

And little sis...

was in the background making her own block...

So this was the perfect block for my story today.

When the Rancher designed his cattle ranch from scratch,

him being from Kentucky,

he wanted a lake with an  old covered bridge over it 

that actually creaked when you went over it.

Yep...he figured out how to make it do that.

One night the boy who had won my heart

was serenading me out there in the canoe...

so romantic.

Dark, stars above,

him singing and playing love songs on his guitar.

All of a sudden it looked like 2 huge white sea monsters stood up out

of the water howling....

It was that dear brother of mine and his friend shirtless!

The boy said he almost started using that guitar as a paddle to get us out of there...

until he realized the joke was on us!
