Hi All -I'm steadily adding to my GFG block by block. I'm at the point where I need to free up some of my mylar hexies so I don't have to order any more. And this gives me an opportunity to watch my quilt grow - fun, fun, fun. Once I get the white borders on all around, I'll start making my individual flowers again.
On another subject, our peach tree is producing overtime!! Look at these peaches - and they are sweet, sweet, sweet. Looks like I'll have plenty to can as well as make up some pies and just eat in my fist :o) 
I've had to prop up the branches since they are so heavy. One branch already split because of all the weight, and my brother "performed surgery" on it after I took all the peaches off - would you believe that there were 75 of them!!! No wonder it split!! Actually, I probably should have "culled" some of the fruit when it first started forming - that's what you're supposed to do. But the first year this tree produced fruit, I did that and ended up with about 3 peaches since all the others fell off. What a disappointment that was. We'll enjoy this fruit and now I've got to get some good canning recipes - any suggestions??

Hi Judie,
I love peaches so much!! They have been so good this year!! Some years they are not that good but the cold winter last was so cold the peaches just really got so good and sweet!! I need to put a picture of a quilt on the blog. Thanks for reminding me. I wish I would get back to quilting! Our diet has gotten me feeling good enough to get back in the sewing room. I am out of the habit tho!! I meed to get the bug!!

Your GFG is looking lovely. I like the white round the flowers. Makes them "pop"
