Back in Missouri we've been having

our normal weather for Memorial Day -

chilly and rainy......Nancy and I did

make it to two of the cemeteries to decorate the 

graves nevertheless. Flowers and Flags 

were the order of the day.

At home Jeff braved the weather and planted

rows of peas, carrots, beans, radishes and corn.

We'll eat well this summer.

The lettuce and Swiss chard on the deck 

are doing quite well too.

As are the tomatoes.  The great big one is a

Goliath and I must confess he was pretty

big when I bought him.  BLT's should be 

plentiful this summer.

In this plantar are a Rutgers (great for canning)

and an orange cherry tomato for salads, etc.

My herbs have gone crazy.  Pep makes a roast chicken

dish that uses a lemon, rosemary and thyme - we should 

get to eat it all summer too.

Even the Basil seeds have gone bonkers so Pep can

make his awesome mint/basil pesto for our pork chops. 

We ran out of the pesto about March and the rest of

the spring we had to do without.  

It will take a minute for the basil to get big

enough so lets go see what the others have done with

Lisa's block.

Block #19

Compass Point

Its finally Spring in Missouri and

Grandma's iris are in full bloom.

There are beds of them scattered

through the garden - 

"Audra'a Iris Garden".

And in keeping with living in the country

we have not only flowers (food for the

eyes and the soul), but also vegetables.

Our friend Jeff doesn't have room for a 

large garden at home so we trade space 

for veggies.  

He's got the garden tilled and prepped

for planting.

And while Jeff's garden grows veggies to can and freeze,

we plant smaller gardens on the deck.  

These are bags of potting soil with holes 

poked in the bottom sitting on milk

crates.  One is planted with lettuce and

one with Swiss Chard (Pep's favorite0

And, of course we can't survive without herbs, 

Rosemary, thyme, oregano and basil.

I planted the basil from seeds and it's not up yet 

but any day now!!!!

I just love Spring.

And while we're waiting for the basil to come up, 

lets go see what the others have done with

Brigette's block.

Block 18 - Bird & Urn

Block # 18

Bird & Urn 

by Jan Patek

I realize that the designer's patterns

said Block  # 19

but it was really 

Block # 18.  

The two little black circles at

the top of the block are

magnets that are holding the block in 

place so it can get it's picture taken.

And I finally figured out how to 

hold the camera so the block

actually looks square- Yay Me!!!!

To download the pattern to 

make the block click here.

If perchance you're new to my blog

and my kind of appliqué, or just need a

refresher course, click here for a tutorial

on Freezer Paper applique and here

for a tutorial on the basic appliqué stitch.

For tips on doing inside and outside 

curves (the urn, bird and tulips) 

click here, and for tips on stems 

and leaves, click here.

That should get you off 

to a good start. :)

Now lets go see that the other

ladies have done with my block.

Block #17 and a new Tablestand Quilt

Crossroads

by Betsy Chutchian

You can go to Betsy's blog 

to download the pattern

by clicking here.

It's been a wonderful week.

We have a New Tablestand Quilt Kit

1. Here's the front

1. And here's the back.

You can go to the store to buy 

 it by clicking here.

Can you tell it's Spring?????????

The weather has been gorgeous

and

Missouri is slowly opening up.

That means that I could Stay Safe

AND

get my hair done.

I'm not sure what nimnill decided

that beauty parlors weren't essential

but he was wrong.

I do quilts - not hair.

It's really hard to keep a

positive attitude when

you look like the 

Wicked Witch of the West.

:(

Hopefully that's over 

so lets go see that the other

ladies have done with Betsy's block.
