G & G

Are you wondering what G & G stands for? It stands for Garden update and Giveaway. I thought I would show you the last of the flowers and vegetables in the garden. The white one is from my pea vines. The orange are nasturtiums and cosmos. But the orange flowers are all dead because of frosts that we have had.

 I have cabbage, bok choy, and green and yellow bell peppers growing. The bell peppers get covered with a hoop house so the frost hasn't hurt them yet and they are still producing. I also have onions and kale growing.

 Here are the pea vines which are still producing peas. I pulled all the big carrots but I have some more carrot plants growing. In the back is one onion and some Bibb lettuce that I keep covered with row covers. The frost hasn't gotten them either. I have a vole in my garden which ate some of the carrots. I really do not like those critters.

 I planted black beans and pinto beans during the late summer. I let the pods dry on the vines until I heard frost was coming. Then I brought them in to finish drying. I got a whole quart jar of black beans. I have already cooked the pinto beans which weren't as many as the black beans.

 I also have Cilantro and other herbs growing. The Cilantro was growing so well I decided to dry some. Here you can see bunches hanging. Such a pretty green until they dry out.

  Okay we are getting close to the giveaway. I have to share a giveaway that I won a couple weeks ago but forgot to share. I won these fat quarters from This-N-That Fabrics. Perfect for fall.

 Okay, now for my giveaway. You can win my Hop To It book and three green batik fabrics you can use for leaves. (approx. 8"x12" pieces) One thing I should tell you is that the blocks in the book are twelve inch square. When I made the blocks in my quilt I had enlarged patterns which made my blocks fifteen inches square which made my quilt queen size. Also, if you don't hand applique don't worry you could make this quilt with machine applique with great directions in the book.

Okay, so what do you have to do to enter this giveaway? Just help me name my quilt. I don't want to call it Hop To It anymore because that is really the name of the book.
Leave a name for my quilt and you will be entered into the giveaway. If you haven't seen my quilt yet you can see it here.
I will pick a winner next Wednesday.
I will probably not reply to all the comments just because I don't want to aggravate the tendonitis in my elbow. I hope you understand.
I do appreciate all your very nice comments on my quilt and the quilting Mary did for me. Thank you! I am slowly replying to all of those comments.

With Passion,
Carrie P.
