It's Wednesday Again!!


Hi All -

It's that time again - here are my hexies for today. I finished the one from last week and have added another. I'm going to start adding them to the quilt again so that I can free up some more mylar templates and not have to purchase any more - gets a little expensive. Sure is fun, though!!

We've had a break in the weather and the high today was in the upper 70's - what a relief. Now if we could only get some rain....

Have a great day and keep smiling -

Sundae Quilters at Nancy's


Hi All -


Yesterday was Sundae Quilter's day at Nancy's house. As always, we had a great time, lots of laughs, inspiration and fun being together. Here are some photos -

This is Belinda's quilt and some of Jeane's Baltimore Album blocks - aren't they great!! Bonnie's baby quilt is a work of art!!
She was working on the binding and it looks beautiful.

It was a good day for all and really fun getting together again. Can hardly wait to do it again -
Have a good day and keep smiling -

Garden Bounty


Hi All -

I got myself out early this morning to pick some pea pods and raspberries in the garden. With this heat, I've been putting it off and the pods got a little large, but they're good anyway. The raspberries are coming in now and are soooo sweet. Duncan & Hamish were "helping" me by standing under the bushes and eating anything that dropped off - they LOVE raspberries!!! The zucchini is coming and there are 3 squash on the plant so far. My winter squash is in bloom and the tomatoes and peppers have fruit on them. The brussels sprouts are forming and should be ready to harvest soon - don't know how they'll do in this heat since they are a cold weather crop - oh, well, not much I can do about that :o)

This weekend is the neighborhood yard sale - I got some fat quarters at one sale for .20 each - lovely flowered prints that will make up nice for my Grandmother's Flower Garden.

Take care and keep cool -

One More flower


Hi All

Here's one more flower for my GFG - and also one that I'm working on. This week has been busy and I haven't gotten a lot done - darn :o( If I have 130 of these to make, I'd better get going, wouldn't you say!!!

Hope you all are keeping cool - it's blistering here and we're all staying inside as much as possible. The pups keep their tummies pointed toward the fans and keep pretty cool that way. Duncan especially likes to jump into his pool and then come in with a wet tummy - a wet, fan-cooled tummy is the way to go, I guess :o)

Take care and keep smiling -

Confusing

I've got a question for you - do any of you know how to respond to those who join your blog through the "Friend Connect" by Google??? When I try to welcome those who have joined my blog, I get "send a message" to the person but my own blog site comes up for me to join - confusing, to say the least!!! Anyway, to those of you who have joined my blog - thank you so much for visiting. I'm very happy that you've found me and hope you come by often.

Hot!!!



It's the dog days of summer and it's not even officially summer yet. The thermometer outside says 90 but inside it's a balmy 78. This is the boys favorite place when it's this hot - smart dogs!!

Have a great day and keep cool -

The Garden Grows


Hi All -

Here are two more flowers that I'm adding to my garden. I keep buying fabric so that my flowers are all different - it's an addiction, I know!!! BUT I CAN'T HELP IT!!!
