Summer Sew Along from Becca's Crazy Projects

I finally got around to sewing my summer sew along blocks together.

Summer Sew Along from Becca's Crazy Projects

I finally finished all of my Summer Sew Along blocks and put set them out so I could put them all on the design wall. 
I'm pretty pleased with this layout. 
I pulled them all down from the design wall in neat little stacks so I can start to sew the rows together.

Summer Sew Along from Becca's Crazy Projects

When the Summer Sew Along was just getting started, I decided I really liked the quilt. I also wanted to use fabrics I already had in my collection. I grabbed this multi-color print a friend gave me, and started pulling fabrics. The pattern calls for half-yard cuts and that isn't a size I usually buy. I did find a couple extra fabrics that I think will work into this quilt and had to narrow down the stack. I think it will be a great quilt. The background fabric is just Kona (I think it is the color Snow). 
Each ...

Bye-bye, July! from From the Strawberry Patch...

It's been a fruitful month; lots going on and plenty accomplished on the home front. These peaches from our own trees were as delicious and sweet as they look. The deer thought so too. We managed to harvest a few more than are pictured here but, sadly, not many. Everything was looking great out in the orchard. We checked on the peaches daily and watched them grow and ripen to perfection. I was

A Summer Garden on the Veranda, and on the Table from From My Carolina Home

The summer flowering season continues, and the veranda pots have not been adversly affected by the heat. At least not yet. This lobelia is such an intense blue-purple, with the blooms cascading down the side of the ceramic pot. I love it.

The white begonia is so prolifically blooming, it has been going for weeks and weeks.

The darker leaf white begonias in the table pots are also happy.

The summer garden seems to be very late this year. By now I usually have a lot of tomatoes, but this year they are slow to ripen. It seems like these ...

I've started assembling the blocks and leaf sprig blocks. I'm setting them like the antique. 



I've been having summer fun as well!

Family time at the beach. 

LOVE the flower explosion in the damper climate. (remember I'm in the desert)

Elsa had a lot of fun too!

The "kids" treated us to a concert- it was actually a father's day gift. Dinner too!

Welcome Summer Tablescapes from From My Carolina Home

June temperatures have been warm but not hot, and a perfect time to enjoy a meal on the veranda. When Rita at Panoply asked me to be a part of her Summer Tablescapes blog hop, I thought it was a good time to pull out a few things I still have and put together a table for six outside. So come along, as I set a table for a Summer Garden Party.

My color scheme is based on the pattern in the salad plates, light pink with spring green and yellow.

Spring green chargers are set on white nylon placemats ...
