There are lots of great things about summer but one of my favorites is all the fresh fruit and veggies. My husband and I go to the local farmers market every Saturday. He even likes shopping there. Check out these really cool scissors for herbs. I used them to chop up some fresh basil on this veggie dish. If you look close you can see the silvers of the basil on top. I got these scissors at the Crate and Barrel store in Washington, DC when I went to see my son and DIL last year.
Look at these luscious green Japanese plums I also got from the farmers market. Some thing new I have not ever tried. They are so sweet and juicy.
Summertime is a great time to do lots of sewing too since it is so hot. As you can see from my applique group show and tell there has been a lot of sewing going on.
Paula made this quilt, "Barefoot in the Park", designed by Stephanie. Paula bought the kit from Karen Gray Design and put it together in a jiffy. Paula also got her Primitive Gatherings wool quilt done too. It is fabulous.
Our facilitator, Kathleen, won this Tree of Life raffle quilt. Congrats Kathleen.
She also made this new top by Jan Patek.
Come back tomorrow. I have a few more show and tell photos from the group to show you.With Passion,
Carrie P.
I'm with you...there is nothing better than fresh fruit and veggies. Love the quilt show. Very talented quilters. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the basil from here! One of my favorite herbs. Sometimes I buy it at farmers market, just to smell it.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts. Lucky Kathleen!
Oh, yummy!! Not just the vegies but the quilts, too. If I had a camper, I'd drive to your house, park in your driveway, and demand you teach me how to applique. [You'd have to feed me, too :)]~karen
ReplyDeleteCool tool! Your veggie dish looks scrumptious. Beautiful projects, as usual, from a very talented group of ladies. I'm a wee bit partial to Barefoot in the Park though. :o)
ReplyDeleteThose scissors are so cool - I'll have to look for some. Gorgeous projects by all.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm My mouth is a waterfall after that first pic. :D I love the applique quilt and the tree of life - she's a lucky lady!
ReplyDeleteYummy!! I love show and tell. Those are some gorgeous quilts.
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks yummy! I've never seen any scissors like those before. If I did salads more, I would have to have a pair.
ReplyDeletePaula's Primitive Gatherings quilt is beautiful. I've had my eye on this pattern for some time. I'd love to do one in wool.
Congrats to Kathleen, beautiful win!
I really need to find some time to sew, all I've done this week is paint.
Wow, love the siccor you got. Never seen anything like this for veggies.
ReplyDeleteGreat show and tell pictures. I look forward to tomorrow's pictures.
Those veggies look so good Carrie. You do have great quilt photos to show - that Primitive Gatherings wool quilt especially!
ReplyDeleteOh those veggies are making me hungry! I've never seen scissors like that before. How cool! Might have to get some!
ReplyDeleteLoooooooove all the quilts. You have a great group.

What clever herb snips! I have never seen anything like them. Fresh herbs are wonderful on salads - my favourite is always coriander (cilantro). :-)

Delicious abundance here... both for the eyes and for the appetite! Yum.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've got to have some of those scissors! :) And I'd love to know if your friend has quilted the Primitive Gatherings Flower Garden quilt - I've completed that top too but can't decide what to do next. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of the veggies made my mouth water. So did the quilts! haha.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go to the Farmer's Market this Sunday. There is nothing like fresh, organic fruits and veggies.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts as usual :0) Love that tool...I don't buy quilting gadgets but sure do love kitchen ones. Is it just for cutting herbs?
ReplyDeleteCrispy
Those scissors are very cool - what a neat toy/tool. The projects are just gorgeous, love that Jan Patek quilt!
ReplyDeleteThose scissors are so cool! My stomach is now growling because of your first photo - the glamour shot of the food. I love summer eating.
ReplyDeleteWe like going to our Saturday farmer's market too. I can't wait for the sweet corn which should be coming in during the next couple weeks. We have our own herbs growing in pots on our deck and it's the basil and rosemary that are used a lot! Enjoy your summer eating, stitching and quilting.
ReplyDeleteThat salad looks delicious! All those fresh and colorful veggies make it look beautiful as well.
ReplyDeleteYour group is so full of talented quilters! I love seeing what they're up to.
