Left to right, starting at the top row: Four o'clock, Daylily, Coleus seedlings, Nocturnal Spider, Rose of Sharon (Althea), Tommy Toes tomatoes, Zinnias, Mother of Thousands, Summer Personified.
I think we may have had a couple of days of Spring here in Houston. Maybe. But we for sure have SUMMER now! All the wonderful growing things are compensation though.
My blog friend Deb very kindly had her husband dig up and send me some Mother(s) of Thousands after I told her mine had died off long ago. Blog friends are the best!
I potted up some of them and shared with the ladies at our prayer group, along with some of the coleus seedlings I had started. I love it!
Our great niece is expecting a baby girl soon, so of course she needs a quilt. I am really pleased with how it developed!
The top picture is before its trip through the washer and dryer and the bottom one is after those voyages. Don't you love that crinkly-ness? It is so soft and cuddly. The green backing is a thick flannel. I think it will be a wonderful floor quilt as well as a bed quilt.
After all that sweetness, I had some green flannel left on the frame, so I quilted this little panel and got it bound. It is so vibrant! And now it will be ready for display when Autumn rolls around.
I DO try to stay busy. It tends to keep me out of trouble. Sometimes anyway! LOL!
And seriously, there are always so many things I want to do and see and learn.
Our God is infinitely creative, and I think He's made us creative, too!
I hope you're having a wonderfully creative time in your part of the world!
Hugs an kisses,
Elaine

I love the quilting on the baby quilt.
A lovely post Elaine. Your garden & seedlings are all looking so wonderful & happy. The baby quilt turned out beautiful - how soft & snuggly it looks. That panel is so "autumnal" & just stunning. Yes its good to stay creative - I don't know how folk manage that are not creative in some way. Have a lovely weekend Elaine xx
Your flowers are looking so pretty, Elaine. I have never tried growing coelus from seed. I will have to give it a try. Your quilts are so fabulous . Love the red , white and blue one. It is filled with scrappy goodness. Have a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to hearing how your garden grows throughout the summer. Hugs.
The garden is looking lovely regardless of the heat. Those tomatoes are looking good.
We have a shortage of tomatoes at the moment and the prices are high.
That is another lovely quilt for your great niece. It does look very snuggly.
And you have been busy if you already have the RW&B quilt on the frame.
Wonderful.
