I'm back after a much
needed break to catch up on a few chores. Being a carpenter's
helper, housekeeper, lawn care associate, and home organizer is hard
work in this heat. Not quite caught up, but I feel better now that
my surroundings are neater and my to do list is shorter.
I did squeeze in sewing
time to finish another project. Summer Sampler is an adorable retro
style table topper or wall hanging, made up of four different blocks
in the same colors. The cheery red and blue daisy and strawberry
print was my inspiration; I found coordinating fabrics in my stash to
cut triangles and strips with Accuquilt dies.

The bright white tone
on tone print is the perfect contrast, set off with plaid sashing.
This cute 30½” square is channel quilted with white thread in a
decorative zig-zag stitch. Wouldn't this brighten up the breakfast
nook in a country farmhouse kitchen? It's for sale now on my Etsy site.
By the way, aren't
those veggies pretty? Local farmer's markets are brimming with fresh
produce right now. There's nothing like the rich mouth-watering flavor of Tennessee tomatoes right off the farm. 'Mater sandwich on
white bread with mayo...mmmm good.
It's
difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts

eating a homegrown tomato. ~Lewis Grizzard
