Challenged--and a walk through the garden....
I have been challenged to make the larger of the 2 pieces I showed yesterday into a quilt!! Now I don't think I'll make it as big as I was challenged to make it but I decided I'll add a border every day until I am sick of it. Last night I got the purple border sewn on. Today will be the pieced border.
I walked through the back garden and took some pictures. It is so pretty this time of year when it is all filling in. This is one little section with 3 different hostas. (and a few little maple trees that I need to pull out).
This is just behind the path at the top of the last picture. There are 5 different hostas in this one. Do you see the little tiny one in the front? It stays small too. Also in this bed are red penstemon and a couple coneflowers.
My son says this version of the Jack in the Pulpit is out at the forest preserve between our town and the next town west of us. I couldn't resist a close up picture even though I already showed it a few days ago.
This is the third group of Jacks that I have found back there. I wonder if this one is deformed or just not opened up yet.
On Mondays I do grocery shopping for my parents and go to any other stores that they need supplies from. Our sewing circle, Tabitha circle, at church meets today too. I don't know what our project is so I take my serger and a sewing machine, cutting mat, ruler and rotary cutter and a pair of sharp scissors so I am prepared. I wasn't able to go last time because of my mother's Dr. appt. but I know they packed a lot of the preemie layettes for delivery to the hospital.
