First of all, I'd like you to meet my friend, Peggy Martin. Isn't she a lovely rose! I bought this one a few years ago, but this year, she has outdone herself in beauty and abundance of blooms. Miss Peggy is named for the woman in whose yard she survived Hurricane Katrina. You can read about it here. I do love a good story, don't you?
I have completed another mini quilt designed by Sheryl Johnson of Temecula Quilt Company. I think I have been well and truly bitten by that bug!
Lots going on outside around here, and I love it. I only wish I had more stamina to do more! Mr. Muddling got the garden tilled last week and there are a few cucumber plants trying to get big enough to climb. Still a lot to be planted, but it's a start. Don't you love that sweet little lamb? The cows in the pasture are at a farm where we buy fresh-from-the-cows-milk. They had a tragedy of a business fire a few years back, but now they've rebuilt and are back in business! I am really happy about that. We bought some of their grass fed beef, too! There were barbecue ribs tonight!
This quilt will be headed to Mr. Muddling's cousin this weekend. The colors are exactly what she requested and I "happened" to have the fabric, thanks to my friend Deb, who had sent me that perfect fat quarter pack of fabric a while back! Aren't friends wonderful? I am so thankful.
There were leftovers which will turn into another quilt for our local airport's USO Lounge. It is being made by my friend
Sandy! As I said, I have the best friends!
I am so glad to count you as my friend, too, if you are a reader of this blog. I hope you have many friends to bless you, as well!
Hugs and kisses,
Elaine

Good friends are a joy. I am glad to count you as my friend also.
You have roses in bloom, I have a light dusting of snow on the ground.
Pretty quilt, nice blues. I bet she will love it.
Such a beautiful rose Elaine! I’m afraid to grow them — it seems like they’d be too much work. I LOVE your pretty cousin quilt — blue is always a winner for me!
Your rose is a delight to see. It obviously enjoys living at your place.
Your mini is very sweet. From the sound of it we will see a lot more of these.
The blue and white is also a delight. All the different blues are perfect in this design.
I hope you enjoyed that beef!
Elaine,
Thank you very much for ordering my book. My brother was very special. He served his country with honor with the US Army in Vietnam and was a law enforcement officer for 30 years. I sure hope and pray this book will be a blessing to you.
Thank you for being my blogger friend.
Blessings,
Brenda
