Tuesday Ramblings

Hi All -
Today I just thought I'd post a few photos from my yard and show you some of the flowers that are in bloom. Of course, I've got to post a couple photos of Duncan and Hamish - today they've been out in the yard quite a bit since it's not too hot. Usually, they're inside in front of the fans or downstairs with me in my quilting room - smart dogs!!
Here's Hamish doing the Scottie "frog" stretch - great way to cool the tummy!!















And Duncan loves his pool...





The Astilbe are in full bloom...

...and so are the Trumpet vines.

Tomorrow is One Flower Wednesday and I'll post a photo of my hexies -
Have a great evening and keep smiling -

Rainy Day and Hexies


Hi All -

Today is a rainy day here and that's ok with me. The lawn was mowed yesterday and I got some squash planted in the garden as well as some flowers around the fountain so this rain is really appreciated. The pups were out this morning and when they came in they were soaked. This is what they have to put up with when they're so wet...I love to wrap them up in towels and make them all cuddly...they look like they're thrilled, don't they!!! I think they're saying, "Aw, Mom, we're tough dogs, not babies!!! And she's getting the camera out again!!! Ugh!!!"

Here are a few more hexies, too - my garden continues to grow.




Have a happy Wednesday and keep smiling -

Sue's Hexies


Hi All -

As I reported before, my sister-in-law, Sue, has started working on hexies and is addicted now :o) She's making her hexies to reflect her mountain home, using various flowers, trees, moss, rocks and other fabric to reflect what she sees in her yard. Here's a photo of the ones she has done so far - aren't they wonderful!!!
The one below has blueberries on it - yum, yum!!

I've got a couple more finished myself and will post them on Wednesday.
Have a great day and keep smiling -

One Flower Wednesday


Hi All,

Here are a couple more flowers - my GFG is growing!! Only 100 or so more to go!! My sister-in-law is working on some hexies, too - another one addicted :o) We had fun shopping for fabric and she's making good progress.
Looking forward to seeing everyone else's "garden" - take care and keep smiling -

Sundae Quilters

Hi All -

Yesterday was "Sundae Quilters day" at my house. There were 8 of us and, as usual, we had a great time. Five of us are working on hexies and good progress was made - here are some photos to prove it!! We had lots of laughs :o)

Here, Belinda is working on an applique project and Nancy shows off her.....hexies.







Bonnie is working on hexies, too



Pat is working on embroidery and Jan is working on hexies...as is Fran. I neglected to get a photo of Chris before she had to leave, but she's also a "hexie" girl - we're all finding it addictive!!!
Have a great day - and keep smiling!!!

More Hexies


Hi All -

Here are some hexies for "One Flower Wednesday" - I'm really not an overachiever - I just have time to do them when my hubby is at PT. Since he's in there for at least an hour, I can get a lot done. I figured I need about 130 of these little babies to make a queen size quilt - so you can see, I've got a long way to go!!

Grandmother's Flower Garden


Hi All,

Thought you might like to see the progress I'm making on my GFG. It's growing daily. I've also joined a like-minded group - One Flower Wednesday - and will post my progress on Wednesdays. I told my husband he can't stop going to physical therapy because that's when I make the most progress!!

Have a great day and keep smiling -
