A boy's quilt

I have been working on a quilt for for my grandson Tiler.
I am so indecisive about quilts for teenage boys.
You know how I am into pinks and frills.
So I will try to do this.
Pictured, are the blocks for the top.
I purchased these school colors, blue and gold, last year but
he recently changed schools and
his new colors are green and burgundy.
So I will make the back of the quilt the new colors.
He plays soccer, football, runs track and plays a little golf so
I am going to try adding these themes.
Last week I made his name for in the border,

it is paper pieced.


If you would like to learn how to paper piece here is the link

Zucchini in a pot

Since I live in a patio home I am not allowed to have a garden.
So I planted a zucchini in a pot a few months ago.
Look at it now, I have a zucchini.
We will see what happens!!

Garden Day, what a treat!!

This is the best time of the year in the garden.
We are harvesting my favorites.

The lettuce is still tasty, but soon the weather will be too hot.
We are growing several different varieties.

We started harvesting the beets a few weeks

ago. They are my number one favorite but it is hard to

name one favorite at this point, everything is so good when it

is fresh from the garden.

Tomatoes will be ripening soon.


Zucchini is getting a good start before the heat gets here.

The carrot crop is outstanding, there are
three different varieties planted in this one bed.


A feast for me to bring home.
