Fun on Friday!

Dotti, I saved the claret strips for you but they are still sitting here. Do you still want them?

Everyone who has asked and paid for a block has a block in the mail to them. This turned out to be an international swap! Whoop! Whoop! Canada, Australia, Germany and France all will be participating. I hope the blocks arrive in a reasonable amount of time. 

It's not too late if you would like an antique block from me. Check it out HERE for more info. 

I had this lovely comment left on an older post about wool applique and I accidently hit delete instead of publish! 

From what I can make out from google translate her name is Artesanato. I thought it was such a kind comment I didn't want to ignore it. Wool applique is so fun! Thank you for leaving the comment!

Adorei seu trabalho bordo desde os meus sete anos.

In this pandemic, I do not know why, I began to investigate more and find new techniques.
I have loved your work on board since my seven years.

This was the wool piece on the blog post she commented on.

Thank you Juliann for the darling dresses! Sorry I didn't get a better photo. It was 100ish degrees with a hot wind blowing. 

I took this photos last week. This is what is blooming in my garden during the hot dog days of summer. 

Russian sage is a great plant for summer heat. 

The bees love it too!

My rugosa's are blooming again. 

This is hard to see but it is a statice plant and something I thought was a salvia but it isn't. 

It seems like purple is my summer color!

I hope your week was good. hubby and I are on an adventure this weekend.  I'm bringing my little quiltalong for this fall. Trying to get it hand quilted and ready to share!

Much love
