Bud Watch

These are the pictures of the buds this morning.

Quilt-Wednesday in the Garden-Bud Watch

This is the charity quilt that I have just finished. The top was sent to me, I quilt it and bound it. It's for a woman with cancer. Her friends and family will sign the hearts. This Wednesday in the garden, the tomatoes and purple hull peas are doing well. We need taller stakes for the tomatoes. A few of the tomato plants are over 5 feet tall.

We love purple hull peas. This is the 1st time we have tried to grow them.

I counted 22 tomatoes yesterday.

The following pictures are of the buds I'm watching. These are hybrid hibiscus plants that I have grown from seeds. I got them from Sonny in Maryland. I've had a lot of problems with bud drop this year. I'm hoping these three will bloom soon.

Wednesday in the garden

This is a shot of the garden. Some of the tomato plants are doing well. We have had a few bug problems. The purple hull peas are on the right. The okra is going to seed on the far right.

Ranch Rush

Our grandson was into this game, then I got into it. I finally finished it yesterday. It's a lot of fun. This is a shot of my trophy page.

2,000 piece puzzle

I really enjoyed putting the 2,000 piece puzzle together. It's the largest one I've ever worked on. It took almost 2 weeks for me to put the puzzle together.

stitch samples

I watched a you tube video on raw edge machine applique. The stitch she used looked like the top on one this sample. I may have to try it for applique. The sample stitches were made on a Brother 650Q. I haven't been doing a lot of applique the last few years. The stitch I used on my old machine looked more like the 2nd one on the sample.

Bonus Quilt & puzzle progress

The quilt is finished and ready to be wrapped. This is one of my favorite patterns to make for babies. I also love the hand print fabric.

This is the update on the puzzle. I had hoped to be finished with it by now but, it's been a really hard puzzle. I also have a lot of distractions in my life.
