Sweet blooms and happy quilts
Hey there peeps! Are you having a good day? I took the cats in to the Vet to get checkups this morning...always an adventure! Luckily they were good and charmed everyone. Still they were glad to get home! They're both healthy, weigh 8.5 lbs each, and got overall good reports.
We got a lot of gardening done over the weekend. I'll have to take pictures of my front planters, once they fill in a little bit. I did cut a peony from the bush that we have...oh how I love these!
They are so fragrant...I can smell this one as soon as I come downstairs in the morning!
I finished Mason's quilt top...
...but now I'm going to add a border to beef it up a little bit. I placed an order with Desperate Quilters this morning...all Lakehouse. This is going to be a 6-inch all-around border.
Then I got this for the backing (on sale!)...
...and this for the binding.
I'm planning to quilt it with stippling. Pro: Goes quickly...Con: Uses lots of thread!
Has the heat let up where you are? It was brutal over the weekend, and up until today...now it's in the 60s and breezy. Ah! That's my kind of weather! I am cranky and tired when it's hot out. Sad but true.
Talk to you later!

Jen,
ReplyDeleteIt is miserable here! The heat and humidity is awful ... high close to 100.
Your peony is gorgeous! Mine have already bloomed.
Mason's quilt is the cutest! I love Lakehouse fabrics!
Hugs,
Donna
It's gorgeous here! Cool temps, sunny skies and a beautiful breeze. So comfortable out. But what am I doing?? Inside sewing! The window is open so I can enjoy the weather. Mason's quilt is looking great and I love what you got for the 3 B's.

ReplyDeleteMason's quilt is going to be very nice. And I can almost smell that peony. I try not to venture outside when it's so hot. I'm such a wuss! I like my creature comforts so the ac was on until last night.
