Thunderstorms between midnight and 5 a.m. on Saturday brought very welcome rain. The sun was out the rest of the weekend.

I do find time to sew, of course!
I used the picnic basket block (the guild July BOM) for the next batch of daisy mug rugs for an ongoing P.E.O. project. All the baskets use the same daisy print. (2 yards for all 16.)

Bumblebee on purple loosestrife / lythrum. The plant is a nasty invader. Concerted efforts at eradication have greatly reduced the quantity but there are still patches here and there.
Afternoon sunlight at Lyons Woods. Pine trees growing in straight rows are evidence that the land was a nursery a few decades ago.
very cute mug rugs....anxious to see more of stars and checkerboards!
ReplyDeleteLove those mug rugs. It's so hard to eradicate invasive species -- just think of Kudzu. Brought over from Japan to help keep hills stable. I've seen houses/driveways overtaken when owners have been away for a few months. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAwesome mug rugs!!! I'm looking forward to the development of your checkerboard quilt! And I enjoyed seeing the photos from your hike!!!
ReplyDeleteThe daisy picnic baskets made adorable mug rugs. Perfect!! We had such nice weather over the weekend and enjoyed outdoor activities. Such a nice change from the heat, humidity and wind we've had all summer. And today we've been getting a gentle rain all morning. Just what we needed.
