I wish I had taken a picture

I went to a quilt show that was called Quilting in the Garden. There wer 250+ quilts and alot of vendors. The quilts were
hanging from these giant old oaks. It was a lovely setting. It was held at a nursery which was enormous. There was a huge
barn with all kinds of nusery flowers, gifts, china, pottery. Then the garden. There were oodles and oodles of flowers and
plants and trees to buy and gardeners giving demonstrations. There were vignettes everywhere of flowers. I didn't remember
one I saw until after I got home. It was a four poster brass bed and the pillows and bed cover were allysum, panseys, violettas.
In my minds eye it was so soft and lush. I will dream of sleeping in a bed of flowers.

Ready

Friendship blocks, ready. A count of 30 for exchange.

Just wanted to post something

It's been a cool foggy summer but this area will be getting warmer in September and October.
I have been enjoying sweet corn of this time of year, tomatoes,my "ripe-when- they- stripe"
Gravenstein apples, and my strawberries.
Get outside. Capture the noon time sun. I can play with my snippets of time. Five minutes
here and five there.
On the way passed the zoo, the grass was dry last week. The goats were out early in June and
munched all the green grass. I knew those goats needed to get out there again.Passsed
again today and noticed the munchers had done there job. Love those rent-a-goats.

More borders for Keystone

Sometimes the quilt leads us where we would not have gone.
I did not choose the colors of this quilt, the quilt did. These are
not my typical color choices but as this quilt came together one border at a time
I just played with it until it was done. I love the quilt because I learned alot while
it came together.

Here is a project I've been working on for JLW club tomorrow

Cleared a spot in the garden for these

I am enjoying some really lovely quilting publications this long weekend as well, Jo Morton's "Coming Home",Quilt Mania
Spring special edition,with Lucy Kramer Van Slus, Better Homes and Gardens American Patchwork and Quilting with Kathy
Holland's quilt. This a homey long weekend.

Spring is here

Well spring is here and it is time to get out and smell the roses. Last week we went to the Berkley Rose garden. There were a few
roses in bloom but not every single bush. So on my walks throughout the neighborhood I am looking to see more and more
roses. My mom's roses are in full bloom on her white picket fence. Red. My neighbors white roses are showing off in bright
white in their drive strips. This gives me a clue that the Rose Garden may be in full bloom for the up coming weekend. The
Rose garden in full bloom is a breath taking sight.
On another flower/quilt note my daffodil hill needs a border and I will call that one done.
Spring, Spring, Spring.
