Nothing like the last day of the month to hasten a blog post, whether or not I met my
goal for the month. I did not finish my September goal of completing Amber's baby quilt, but it is NOT my fault. My sewing machine is
on the fritz again, and I am taking it to Boise to get to the bottom of this.
Meanwhile, here are a few photos of the almost completed baby quilt and big sister dolly quilt, with some of the fabrics I auditioned in the last post.The inner purple borders are folded and dimensional.

The back of each is soft flannel.

My favorite fabric enabler,
Pam, sent me some super duper Kaffe Fassett fabric for my birthday last summer. I finally got around to setting the colors, along with some Moda fabric from a local shop. As I admired the colors of the fabrics hanging on the clothes line, I realized how well they work together. The coral and tangerine don't quite match the Kaffe colors, but all the better. The colors are pushed and really glow. The lime green really makes the aqua and turquoise ZING.

| Mmmm baby, I love colors. |
Today's harvest included chokecherry bark for cough drops. I also gathered hawthorne berries for heart tincture, and elderberries for
Wild Elderberry Chutney. Spoiler alert!! Holiday gifts!!
We use solar dryers here too, and I often admire the pretty coloured fabric hanging on the line.
ReplyDeleteI hope chokecherry bark doesn't taste as bad as chokecherries! We do not have them here, but I know of them from my Canadian husband.
You live in such a beautiful and serene place - LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI just love your photo with the mountains behind the clothes line.
