Clothesline Rope...

I am inspired to have a play with some

clothesline rope... 

It's been awhile but it is coming back to me...

I use an open-toe applique foot so I can see

the rope while I am zig zagging back and forth.

I decided to make a placemat first...

It was so much fun...I made another one !

Next I made a medium sized bowl...

forgot how much fun it is to play with rope !

I made 4 placemats and 4 coasters...

I couldn't resist making a small bowl too...

On the bottom right is a trivet to set hot food on...

There you have it....the whole rope family !

More Snowflakes...

 In between making hay this summer,

I have been paper piecing more

snowflake blocks...

These snowflake blocks are a bit advanced

so you need some foundation paper piecing

experience to get them done...

I love the precision of paper piecing

so really enjoy creating these snowflakes...

I have completed 15 snowflake blocks so far...

not sure how many I will need.

Nothing is sewn into place just yet,

I am auditioning possible border treatments.

This will be an ongoing project for

the rest of the summer months ahead...

We put up new fencing around the flower bed

in front of the house...

to keep our chickens from scratching it all up !

That is a super giant lime green hosta

by the whiskey barrels...

I do love me some lime green !

The Gaillardia aka Blanket Flowers

are really putting on a show right now...

Hundreds of blooms on just one plant !

If you look close...

you can see the bumble bees just love them !

This image is from a month ago...

lots more flower blooms out there now

and a couple of tomato plants

with tomatoes on the vines.
