Summer time is the right time for a red, white and blue tablescape. This one was for our Memorial weekend cookout, and I'll be breaking out some of the same things on the 4th of July. The Patriotic Table Runner is one I made a couple of years ago, click on the name for the …

June in the Garden
June in the garden has most of the potted plants getting bigger, and the flowers are still going. I put a white lobelia in the watering can, and it is doing well, now trailing nicely. Yellow lantana with blue lobelia, and a geranium with a different variety of lobelia, both doing well. The day lilies …
Scrap Dance Quickstep Garden Maze Quilting
After looking at the pieced Quickstep Garden Maze top for a bit, I considered adding a border of brown or looking for a rock or stone print to mimic a stone wall around the garden. Ultimately, I decided it would look best with borders of the same green. So I added those using the proper …
Quilted Art Project Finish!
Yes, it is finally done. I actually worked on it through the week before Memorial Day, and was able to get it mounted and hung last weekend. From the beginning, I wanted something to go on the wall that was large, and I also wanted to use a large oval hoop that has been sitting …
On The Frame and Taking a Break
On the frame now is another quilt for Elizabeth House. I will be working on this as I have time, but the next couple of weeks is going to be very busy with other things. I am using two layers of batting this time, as the roll I have is somewhat thin. Elizabeth House residents …
National Donut Day!
Yes, there is a day devoted to donuts, how great is this! As much as I like to have a donut at one of our local shops, I cannot do it often. Making them at home, I can bake instead of fry them, and make some great donuts with fresh ingredients. DH likes them, as …
Quick Placecards for the Tablescape
I love using placecards with guests names on tablescapes. I think it adds a bit of elegance to the table, and gives guests a little something to do while I am getting the first course out to the table. I know that some of my guests are close friends, and will ride together to get …
Quick Squares Table Topper
I need a very quick table topper for my recent luncheon, and I didn't want to bother with any half square triangles. It needed to be much faster to put together. I found a nice block using all squares called Arrowhead Puzzle on Quilter's Cache, and thought four together would be perfect. I used purple …
Garden Blooms May
I have had so much to post about that I haven't been able to get back to updating the garden. The fairies have settled in permanently, and I found another door in the kitchen. The weather finally has turned warm to stay, so the landscape has turned verdant green. There are still some flowers in …
