Last week at quilt group Theresa shared her redwork quilt wall hanging. I told her it needed to be in my kitchen--and she gave it to me! We have a teapot and teacup theme in the kitchen. so it looks great.
I have been working on A Tisket, A Tasket from Anne Sutton. I have a few applique pieces to do, and then will be embroidering. Shabby Fabrics included the pattern in their latest catalog!
When I was putting the blocks together I pulled out all my polka dot fabrics!
The embroidery will add loads of details.
My poor birdie will get a beck soon when I start the embroidery!
The apple trees are loaded with fruit! And one has a Robin's nest in it. The male Robin is keeping the squirrels out of the tree, so perhaps fewer little apples will be stolen.
My husband's rose garden is blooming.
He always wanted a rose garden like his mother had, and started one after we retired into our 'forever' home.
He has been moving the Stella d'Oro lilies from the front yard in preparation for the landscaping that will be done in a few weeks. We are getting a Crab Apple tree and hydrangeas and roses and other lovely plants! Below is the designer's plan!
Soon my hubby will be out of commission for many weeks. He is having knee replacement surgery! (Guess who gets to water that new garden...) His orientation with the physical and occupational therapists was at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. It was my first time there.
There is a lovely area with comfy chairs and tables. The photo below shows the living green wall of vegetation.
I saw art in the hallways, including this painting of the Mackinaw Bridge.
Strait Groovin' by Lind K Shinkle Rodney and Theodore M. Shinkle.
I was surprised to see this art with all kinds of dogs!
It is a tribute to Josephine Ford.
It was a hazy day but we had a nice view of Detroit.
Father's Day was also my 46th anniversary. Yikes! I am feeling old!
I will soon be sharing photos of my Bronte sisters quilt which I finally began working on a week or so ago!
