Back to Normal

I am finally getting back into my routine. Do like a regular routine? Going away for five days means a lot of catching up to do. So one thing I need to catch up on is to let you know what the giveaway is for those who are participating in NOTHING BUT UFOs. Since fall is right around the corner I thought I would give you have a chance to win this book, a pattern for the star quilt, and a 1/2 yard of fabric. Be sure to link up your UFO goals on this post.

 Right before I went out of town I was notified that I had won a giveaway from Clover and Violet. SkyeReve was a sponsor during the Season By Hand series. I was a participant in this series during the summer time. There were a lot of giveaways at the end of the hop. I won a $25 gift certificate which I used to buy this half yard bundle of Briar Rose by Heather Ross. Natasha also include two cute pieces of fabric squares. Thanks to Natasha for being a sponsor during this series and to Jennie and Clara for asking me to be a part.

 Being away from the garden for five days meant that I better get out there and check to see what needed to be harvested. As you can see the bell peppers are doing really well. The tomatoes are about done producing as well as the tomatillos. The green beans did not do well this summer. I was so disappointed. Fresh green beans are one of the things I really look forward to in the summer.

 This morning I spent some time working on two big blocks to take to the Modern Quilt Therapy group this Wednesday. When I have them put together I will show them to you. While sewing I have been watching the birds visit the bird feeder. Mr. Cardinal is enjoying the sunflower seeds.

Before I left on our trip I gave a private quilting lesson to a woman who had never quilted before. This is the quilt that she wanted to make.

 She decided to use batiks and black fabric which was an excellent choice for these blocks.

 She was a great student and I think she might be joining the ranks of quilters.

With Passion,
