Cantaloupe and an unseen wonky watermelon...
More eggplants!
And I decided to bring my just-finished Tiny Baskets [aka Baskets of Blessings] on a little photo shoot road trip.
The sun was actually too intense to get good pictures as the screen is blotted out by the glare. Point, shoot, hope for the best.
On the grey fences...
In the herb garden, with the whale folkart sculpture:
In the beautiful large driftwood ''find''---looks like a section of a cupola?
On the newer fence.
This fence will make a fabulous display background for my quilt photos when it turns grey over the next couple years.
Close ups, with shells.
This is the back, an unusual print with tiny baskets. I also used this print for the flower's stems and leaves, which were raw edge appliqued with a running stitch.
The Flower is a fabric from friend Penny, as are many of the fabrics, from her and other friends. All ''vintage'' treasured scraps.
Back home, Mo is baffled.
He expects photos to be of HIM.
The little quilt doesn't fit this end table but I'm putting it here anyway, for a few days so I can enjoy it.
This was such a fun, inspiring, special project, from one of my FB quilting groups. Designed and shared by Julie Porter during the height of the early summer Covid-19 pandemic---each basket holds thoughts and prayers, to share, to strive for.
The mottoes or blessings are embroidered, not my best craft but I did what I could. I did talk friend L into embroidering the label, not ready yet. The Tiny Baskets blocks and embroidered blocks are just 3" finished.
The duck egg blue ''seaweed'' fabric, below, left is very special, a tiny piece from Cape Cod, from my mom, then friend Mel helped me find a small amount more. I think it's Shelbourne Museum repro fabric, a museum much loved by my dad for its quilts and stoneware.
