Wildflowers, June stash report, and some acquisitions -- and a new project


I took a short walk on the beach at Hosah Park this afternoon.  The rain was over the lake and the storm brought a stiff northeast breeze.







Early July wildflowers.
Top: black-eyed Susan, hoary puccoon, cow parsnip.
Center: Butterfly weed, milkweed, boneset.
Bottom:  fleabane, unknown.

Though I didn't acquire much fabric I did acquire some other treasures.
This vintage glassware came from an estate sale.  (Ivy and apples are Hazel-Atlas. Juice pitcher is Anchor Hocking.)











The Toby jug is Old Charley.  It was a bargain at an antiques mall. (Another vendor had the same one for twice the price.)












And, finally:  a new project using 2" squares.

    Love the vintage glassware. I recall my mom having some of that, but alas it is long gone. The 2" square project is lovely! I love it and have always wanted to make one myself . . . it is on the 'mental' list, you know?! ~smile~ Roseanne

  7. Hi Nann, i've enjoyed a nice catch up! Good Luck with your July goal, it looks quite modern. I have quite a few Toby's, most were my Grandmother's, but my largest looks like Charley there. Is he like 6"?
