flower friday

after ogling beautiful flowers on a gazillion blogs this spring/summer, just had to post another of mine from long ago....

the short concrete walkway into my house from driveway begged for some color...planted these tulips and they didn't disappoint...

the binding is ready to go on baskets I so popped another UFO into the hoop and it just might get done before july arrives....

with june winding down, almost time for christmas in july....daughter and i are going to make another try at a craft table so pulled some ideas to use up more christmas stash...

and maybe some strip-pieced placemats as well...long ago i made large bells and tied little jingle bells to them for door hangers...have to see if that pattern is still on hand...from a 1980s woman's day mag back i think....

with house chores caught up and exercise done for the day, it's sewing time!  have one for yourself why don't you???
