Happy Tuesday!
from the Pacific NW where we're having thundershowers and rain off and on today.
It's blackberry season and the local farmer markets are loaded with produce.
I brought home a huge head of cauliflower and that lasted us several days. I lightly steam the cauliflower and then we dip it in blue cheese dressing or babaganoush.
This week I've been sewing on borders and piecing HSTs. I'm in the mood to get some quilt tops done. Slow but sure progress.
Stop in and visit Barbara Brackman's Material Culture blog. I enjoy the quilt history and stories she
researches and writes about and the photos. I think the traditional side of quilting is culturally fascinating.
And that's the news from the shire where it's rainy and misty and progress is being made.
Have a great week and remember to celebrate and visit local farmer markets.
I'll be by to visit.
Talking a walk in the rain is nice when you can get home to cauliflower cheese, in a new version. Dipping the florets in blue cheese dressing sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteRainy days are also good for quilting, and you have been at it!
Yes, a rainy day is a good time to putter around inside and get a little done here and a little done there.
DeleteAnd when the rain lets up I get out for a quick walk in the mist, it's a kind of wonderland.
Wish we'd get some rain. Working on several quilts at once is a good decision. I like that they all keep moving forward.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on all your projects. The blackberries look delicious!
ReplyDeletemmmm- those blackberries look yummy! We don't have much fruit at our local market but there are lots of vegetables and we've been stuffing ourselves with corn on the cob for several weeks now.
ReplyDeleteCorn on the cob is so good, that's what I'll buy next at the market!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me.
I've been freezing blackberries, ready for the depths of winter (and eating a few as I went). Looks like you are forging ahead with your quilts.
