Just look at HER now!

Organic swirls

The thread was getting caught in that little plastic piece inside the "C" here.  I slowed down some on my loops,but it was still doing it toward the end:/  Why oh why?  (anyone)

random little hearts

"Strung Along" using this pattern

the stash has been broken (at least in my plastic bins!)  3 hearts are enclosed in this top

Patience and persistence paid off !!!  I cannot believe how quickly she came together, even with all the holdups:)

Thanks to Sarah @ Confessions of a Fabric Addict!

Growing and GROWING

See all those little green guys in the pic?  Those are radishes peeking at you:p  I believe it has only been a week since I planted.  All that peat moss and garden soil must be doing its job well!

Their main purpose is to protect the squash from bugs and such and the squash is planted in the center of  each of these "radish circles."  What to do with all these radishes when they get bigger?  Salads yes, but what else....hmmmm?

Spinach for muscles, great with some minced garlic, little butter, salt and pepper (ok now my mouth is watering)

Thinking these are my carrots OR it could be one of the two lettuce types, not quite sure yet

Ayden likes his carrots AND peas.  So here are some peas please!  We had a pretty bad storm two days ago and that is more than likely why these guys have been pushed to the surface some.

Another pea opening in the sunlight.


Peony pic showing time!

These are the beauties that were blooming a week ago from my peony bush that I purchased from a local nursery.  They have been cut and placed inside my home.  The only reason they were cut was due to their bending stems because I honestly had anchored them with ties around that green pole you see in the pic too tight.  AT LEAST I got to enjoy them inside though---they smell wonderful!! 

No worries though, of course because the green leaves, the plant itself is doing great outside and I am hoping to get some more buds in the near future.  I have a peony bulb planted on the other side of the house.  Nothing poking through the ground yet.  Still hoping!

I HAVE to add some fabric love in here too!!

 

 

Sandy Gervais Lovely (from my MIL and FIL sooo generous of them!!)  Don't you love the little red roses, bouquets of flowers, delicate and pretty, blue, red and yellow.  Love it, love it, lovING IT!!!!

Ok, OK I got my fabric show and tell fix I guess;);)

What are you dabbling in today on this beautiful, sunny Saturday?

Enjoy,

Three times a charm

AND then some!!!

Go check out my last post for more details on this string quilt top :)

My patience was tried over and over and over.  Mr. Seam Ripper oh how I dislike thee:/:/

Seroiusly, I must have ripped out the first two rows 2 times a piece---AT least.  It was a matter of  getting the red or blue middle strip of each block to go in the correct direction.  How HARD could it be right??!!

For those who were worried, though, Mr. Seam Ripper and I have patched things up since then and I can return to my ole' self again.  (He's lucky this top turned out marvelous in the end!he,he,he!)

To go with the hidden ladybug prints on the front scattered every which way, I am adding some to my pieced back.   The blue and red centers of each block are being repeated too with these colors.  (more on that next post) Using Kona Chartreuse and some Debbie Mumm dots too.

One more thing, go link up your quilting adventure for the week over at Sarah's blog:  Confessions of a Fabric Addict !!

May your day be filled with wonderful sewing and no seam ripping!!!  sorry Mr. Seam Ripper:(
