Finished my July HGTV BOM

I am early this month- usually don't finish until the end of the month. It must be the hot weather is keeping me home. My next project is to make some Roman shades- hope they aren't too difficult. Hope you all are keeping cool. We are so dry here- the farmers crops are hurting bad. I am watering my garden but don't want to see the water bill this month. BB

An 'Oops' Giveaway

 I am having an oops giveaway- I went to a sale and bought the' Taste of Home' cookbook for 2000. I realize its 12 years old but doesn't look like it was used and has lots of good recipes as I have one in my collection already. I will also put something quilty with it. No special rules - just leave a comment and tell me which state you are from. I also would like it if you became a follower. Will draw a winner on Saturday July14th.

  Have been doing a little sewing but it is sooo hot here. My garden is doing okay with lots of watering- can't wait for ripe tomatoes. Have been using my broccoli, potatoes, kohlrabi and had lettuce and radishes. BB

Happy 4th of July

Hope you all are having a great day.Also a big thank you to our military and their families for the sacrificies they make so we can have our freedoms.

My Beautiful Tote

The back with a book for notes.

 Haven't shown you this tote yet- It is a Mother's day gift from my DD. I will use it on my trip to Branson.

June BOM

Finished my June block of the month from HGTV. Now I will finish the row robin. This is the last month for that and the quilters will receive their robin in Sept. at the Circle of Friends retreat.

 It's been very hot here today. Hope its cooler where you are and you are getting the right amount of rain.

New Purse

 Been a while since I have been on my blog- we had visitors for a couple weeks and spent a long week-end at the lake with our son and family. The grandkids grow up so fast and are busy so its hard to get together. Was a great weekend.
 While my DD was here she made a purse for me. I found a free Amy Butler pattern we had to try. I want to put a pin on the front but haven't found the right one yet. This one will hold lots. It has a zippered pocket on the inside and also another big pocket..

  My balloon plant is so pretty this am I just had to show a picure. Hope to get my June BOM started this week. It is hot so will stay inside.

Another block finished (May)

Finally finished the May block and hope to get the June one done on time. I will show you all of them. It is very hot here today so good weather to be indoors and sewing.We are keeping busy- making purses today .BB
