African Quilt, Morning Glories, Cornflowers

Well, I finally got the top and the backing of my niece's African Quilt sent to thequilter this past week.

I went out early this morning to wrap the stems of the morning glories around the copper wire I have strung across the dog fence. I turned around and found the first blooming glories on the fence. The pictur does not show the deep purple true color but they are gorgeous.

Here is a picture of the yellow and purple coneflowers in the garden.Enjoy the pictures and Keep on Quilting.

Lavender Bees and Coneflowers

My lavender is in bloom and the blooms are being visited by many honey bees. It is fun to watch them stick their whole head in the tiny lavender blooms to get the honey. My first coneflower is blooming. The petals are so perfect (I took the picture before they turned color or something decided to eat it). I have so many in my garden that they have crowded out my roses. I gave 50 to the Master Garden sale and 50 to my towns garden sale ---so see I have ALOT!!!! I have yellow, purple, red and orange. Will show these when they bloom.

My husband's mother favorite flower was the Easter Lily. I took one from the funeral and planted it in my garden. This was in 2002--- each year I get more and more lilies coming up. Their fragrance pours out of the garden. This is just a few that have opened.

Enjoy the pictures from my garden. In regard to quilting--- I did get the backing done for the wedding quilt so it will be going off to the quilter soon. I have made 8 flamingo placemats to take to my retreat for all us old biddies to eat on and got 8 wild colored marquarita glasses to finish off each day of sewing. What FUN!!!!

Keep on quilting.
