Happenings













































It seems like I blinked and now it's June.  May was such a busy month for me.  I've joined an Instagram sew along called #SweetlyStitchedSAL.  A group of us are making six projects from Amy Sinibaldi's new book, Sweetly Stitched Handmades.  My first project is the "Modern Color Block" quilt.  I don't normally use solid fabrics and it was really fun to play with these colors.  I paired it with many Japanese florals as well as yellow gingham and cherries.  I'm going to hand quilt this one. I just love how it turned out.  The garden is really blooming nicely this year. Yesterday marked two years since we've moved in this house and the changes I made to the flower beds are really showing. I still haven't planted my beloved Peonies but I'm so happy that one of our local markets carries them as cut flowers to purchase.  They smell divine!  I hope you are having a good start to June!
