Lots of tomatoes

Haven't been on for a while and here is why. We are having a terrible drought but we water our garden. The only thing producing are our tomatoes. The cucmbers and beans have lots of flowers but thats it. I  am canning and freezing and yesterday made some "HOT" salsa.

  Getting my 2 challenges finished and then have to do my Aug. BOM. Hope you are all keeping cool.

Birdie block quilt

CBQ showed you a peek  of this quilt after she quilted it for me. I did Little Miss Shabbys embroidery patterns. They were a free BOM patterns on her blog. All the fabrics other than the blocks and the darker blue border and binding are vintage sheets. The back is also a sheet. Should wear forever. CBQ did a really nice job quilting.

  Just had a cataract removed  so now I can see much better. Hope you are having a good sewing day.

Hibiscus Flowers

Thought I would show you  my pretty flowers- I have been watering them a lot so even tho our lawn is brown my flowers are nice.  I wish they would last longer.

And the winner is.....

Sharon from Arkansas- my DH just drew your name from a dish. Congratulations!! Send me your address and I will get it in the mail next week. BB

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.
