Quilting hasn't been happening much around here lately. I've been trying to get into my sewing room for a little each night, but it's not making much of a dent in what's up there. So no photos to show off my lack of work, okay?
But I did promise to share the final quilt for the hubby's friend and wife, who are due about any day now.
Natalie's Quilt:
It was finished last weekend and went to its new home earlier this week. And we've already gotten a thank you card! (How's that for quick turn around?!)
It measures about 40" x 40" and is from the skinny book "Polka Dots & Posies" by Terri Staats.
In other news, this is how my day is going to be spent today:
I canned 84 quarts in 2005 (and only know that because I wrote on the lids) and am down to two. Time for more canning! I planted some tomatoes this year, but they didn't do very well, so I ended up purchasing two bushels yesterday. The hubby will help me, but you see all that white? Yeah, my kitchen will be a little more orange when I'm done. (And seriously, who does a kitchen in WHITE? Wait, I know: people who don't cook...which is strange since this is an old farm house...)
Happy quilting (and canning!)

Good luck on the canning
Your quilt is beautiful, and so are the tomatoes! Both will be appreciated in the days and months to come! ---"Love"
all that tomato goodness is worth a bit of kitchen mess. (says the person who rarely cooks these days).
The quilt is lovely. I really lovethe colors and the quilting looks so good. I bet they love it.
I still love those blocks and those colours together.
Our tomato crop was also very disappointing this summer. I need to go raid the farmer's market.
My kitchen cabinets are white - I painted them that way to try to make a tiny kitchen seem larger and airier, but they are a pain to keep clean!
The quilt is great! Love the pattern and colors.
Hop your canning went well!
That purple and bright green were the perfect combination! It's a lovely quilt and how nice to receive a thank you card so promptly. If I weren't stuck over here I'd pop 'round and give you a hand. You aren't Italian in heritage by any chance?
I love the combination of the lime, purple and white. It is a happy quilt! As a kid I use to love helping my Mom can tomatoes. In fact, when I first moved away from home I had to learn to cook all over again. Everything always started with a quart of tomatoes, trying to figure out how many cans to buy from the grocery store was a bit of a challenge! Have fun!
