MY LITTLE BOAT, et al

 

Out on our deck this morning I

began to quilt Moon Garden Stars--

little boat....

Here is how much difference the 

hand quilting makes:

It adds so much texture and movement for my little boat 

sailing through the waves....;)))

[doesn't that shape remind you of

an Italian Gondola?

Hmmm...

perhaps another 

"take" on this pattern?]

Here is the little carry-all 

I use for my

hand quilting bits and bobs:

It holds everything in the 

many little zipper

pockets

A really nice little take-it-everywhere travel holder...

It was originally supposed 

to be used for holding

makeup and sundries 

while traveling.

I got it at a local

Vera Bradley sale event

many years ago...

I bought it mainly because we 

were going on a cruise and 

I L💗VED that

pattern....

;)))

AND...

Now that our traveling days 

have gone by, I can remember

the trips while I put it to

good use.  

***********************

My little pot of marigolds finally

decided to give me a couple

little flowers and some buds:

[I had planted two other pots

with seeds but they didn't come up]

They are a lot

smaller

than I expected

and leggier;

I hope if I cut the blooms and

perhaps trim it a bit it will

fill out more?  

We shall see...

********************

Tonight's supper will be

BBQ'd steak tips 

(which I got on sale last week)

marinated in DH's special 

sauce...

and I made macaroni salad

for our side

and some lovely

snowflake rolls...

A real Summer feast for two..

It is a beautiful Summer day here,

the kind I remember my

childhood Summers to

all have been...

Memory is a funny thing, isn't it?

Ever changing on you....

hugs, Julierose
