Since sewing has
almost come to a screeching halt with the warm days of summer upon us, I thought I would share what I have been doing, working in the garden. I love puttering around in the garden, planting, finding just the right spot for each plant and just plain enjoying a pretty backyard. Here are a few pictures I took around my garden today.
Oops I don't have any flower pictures here....next time. I did say
almost no sewing...a couple of things I was
playing around with last week. A applique table topper done in bright colours and a fabric collage inspired by this amazing
designer.
Have a great day, next time I'll have a quilt ready to show....woohoo a flimsy out of the closet....finally.
So lovely Wendy! The garden looks fabulous too! I simply love hosta leaves...I filled a dark corner of my Mom's yard with them and they came back every year big and lush!
ReplyDeleteI love the collage - so cute with the little quilt blocks and photo. What a wonderful, creative thing. The table topper is beautiful - lovely applique on it.
ReplyDeleteWendy, Your collage is adorable, just so cute and creative.
ReplyDeleteThis weather we're having is wonderful. I love being outside in the garden too.
I could guess that designer before I clicked the link *s*
ReplyDeleteI really like your fabric collage. A great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove that collage.. I just remembered the one you made last year.. sooo gorgeous!!! :o))
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty garden. Love the fabric collage and such a sweet table topper.
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric collage. I saw her work at the Buggy Barn last summer in person and it was all amazing. Yours looks wonderful and your table topper - to cute. I think it's OK to not be stitching so much in the summer - the garden calls you and you should listen, lol. After all those dang snowflakes will be returning before we know it.

I know you're enjoying your days in the garden. I've never been one to play outdoors - too hot! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove your collage - it's fabulous. Something to attempt soon.
See, there has been some sewing! Love the table topper. And are those Moda butter yellow dots on that picture -- I LOVE those dots -- if only I could find them for sale somewhere!!!
ReplyDeleteYour garden collage looks lovely _ I'm sure it's nicer outside in the sun than in the sewing room this time of year..
ReplyDeleteThat collage is tooo cute. Your plants look good Wendy. Enjoy your gardening.
