I was at the lakefront to take pictures of the solstice sunrise at 5:13 a.m. on Saturday.
This is Lake Andrea in Pleasant Prairie, WI.
Pink skies, pink fabric: I am working on a baby quilt. I got the design idea from a FB post (though I didn't note the source). The name will be "A Star is Born."
Conveniently, pink is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for June so I'll add this post to the link up.
More pink!
We have two hardy roses that come back year after year. The red rambler rose is in the back garden. The pink rosebush used to be a floribunda but one year my husband overzealously pruned it below the graft. The bush survived but ever since the prolific blossoms are "just plain" rugosa roses. (I have planted fancy Knockout roses twice and neither thrived.)
I took some books to the local used book store and stopped to shop. I found three new-to-me quilt books.
AQS had a $5 clearance sale and I indulged.
Do I need more ideas?
Why not?!

I'd've been able to identify you even without the hint. Isn't it amazing how facial features don't change over decades?
ReplyDeleteLove your sunrise and sunset pictures. I hardly paid attention to the solstice. It was nice to see your photos. Pinks look really pretty. It's one of the colors I don't use all that much. Looking forward to seeing what you'll make with them.
ReplyDeleteLove the baby quilt and your photos! Those roses are lovely and so are you sunsets!
