More Appliqué

I'm still working on the Le Jardin applique blocks, number 3 is prepped and ready to stitch. These two little applique blocks are a Lori Smith pattern, can't remember the name right now. These blocks finish at 5" so are pretty small. I'm enjoying the reds, greens, cheddar and brown combinations.

The bread and butter pickles are ready. I didn't buy enough pickling cucumbers for some silly reason, I don't know what happened. Only came home with 8 lbs and then DH picked up another 5 lbs for me. I should have had something close to 20 lbs, same as the dill pickles. Next time I'll make sure I get more cucumbers. This will have to do until next year because I'm done and don't feel like making more.

Happy Quilting.

Le Jardin Block

I finished the second block of my Le Jardin BOM. I'm still using the Hugs and Kisses freezer paper, I hope the washing will make the applique soft when it's all done. Has anyone use this product?

The dill pickles are canned, have to wait a month to give them a try.

This is a small sampling of the cucumbers and carrots we are harvesting from the garden. I wasn't sure there would be any cucumbers growing because we were late planting them. They are so tasty in salads, crisp and sweet.

Enjoy the long weekend. I still plan to make bread and butter pickles this weekend.
