Here is the piece so far....
and only 30" in width--so some kind of side borders will have to be
found...
Next up is RED----just ONE of those for the middle...good thing as I
am really low on red scraps...will be scrap diving for those...
**********************
AND...despite the forecast last night (!!), it is STILL hot and sultry
here...
dewpoint is 74--that is muggy!!
Temp is 87.5 and
still climbing...;000
********************************
Tonight will be bbq'd steak and salad for dinner ( Thom will add
french fries and I will be abstaining from those heavy carbs...)
****************************************
And................
In the small garden square off of our back deck....
My hydrangea has forgiven the severe haircut I gave her last Fall
;)))) and appears to be ready to bloom...
She and my bleeding hearts and a few ferns share this semi-shady spot...
She is H U G E
that white fencing is our deck border---when in bloom she will reach much
higher than that even...Can't wait to see those big blowsey blossoms...
and the ferns appreciate this shaded spot....
the other day..
Our glass topped round table on the deck had little spots of water for a while...
Not even 1/4 an inch though..
so I have been hand watering pretty much...
It's been years since she's set
any buds--
so I've forgotten what color they'll be....
loaded with buds...she is the extrovert of them all...sashaying around
my front
walk...;)))
I hope your Sunday is a restful and quiet one...

You have such interesting fabrics! Love how they are all coming together.

just want to rest today!
ReplyDeleteThe Lego project is delightful. A fun and appropriate alternative to a one-fabric border would be to do a "piano keys" border, turning the strips at right angles on the sides. Maybe you even have black and white/ cream to use? Your garden is so pretty! Glad the hydrangeas are going to bloom, some will not if too harshly pruned.

It's always fun to see how people use their scraps. I like this better than rainbow because it seems much more sophisticated. Lovely to use so many colors and clear out leftover fabric.
ReplyDeleteYour plants all seem happy in this muggy weather. My hydrangea isnt in bloom but is nice and green so far.
ReplyDeleteYour scrap project and your garden are growing lusciously!
ReplyDeleteI love purple! Love how your garden grows! I guess there is a bright side to this humidity!
ReplyDeleteI love to see your garden photos. The plants probably enjoy the muggy weather, even if humans don't.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your pics. Your quilt is really neat! It is sweltering down here in the deep south.
