How does your garden grow?

.......with pretty bells and cockle shells and maidens all in a row?  Well, my friend Pat has a green thumb which is obvious from the pictures I took recently while on a visit.  Her garden is beautiful and every place you look there are beautiful flowers and lots of fun garden accessories.  Enjoy the eye candy!!!

 

 

Now, doesn't that make you want to go out and plant a few flowers or do a little gardening?  I just watered my flowers in the back yard!  Does that count?  Thanks for sharing your space with me Pat!!

 

Now, find a little stitching time today and try and stay cool!  98 here in Raleigh today!

Sunday Selvedges

What can I say, I'm hooked on selvedges.  Have been for a long time.  I've saved them for awhile but just didn't know what I wanted to do with them.  Well, now I know......a selvedge quilt!  I have been putting together 8 1/2" blocks whenever I have a few minutes and now my pile is starting to grow.  I love seeing how different each block turns out and reading the words on the selvedges.  LOVE them!

 

You can go from this.....................

to this........the finished square.  Aren't they grand!!!

Are you ready to start your own selvedge project?  If not, I'll be happy to take your selvedges off your hands!!!  Just sayin'..................................
