In my one hour of working on an older quilt, I got this quilt off the longarm and trimmed and I cut the binding. The camera says the binding is blue but it is really a purple leaning to the red/purple side. I also pressed 2 border fabrics.
It has cooled off but the humidity was 100% last night at 10 p.m. I got the lawn mowed in 2 sessions yesterday afternoon. While out there I noticed the compact Beebalm is in full bloom now.
I love the shaggy blooms. Maybe I'll find another one in a different color on clearance this year.
And just because I like them so much, here are 3 more with lots of partial blooms in the background.
I like that compact bee balm. A lot. We have a tall variety in several spots, the sunnier the taller. The leaves smell so good and I love how the blooms are like slow fireworks.
I have been sewing backings in the basement where I have bigger tables and the long arm is. I am thinking that it will help me get the quilts on the long arm faster. I treated myself to a sample block for a quilt I would like to make. My bee balm was large and got very invasive so it had to leave.
Blossoming purple Bee balm to match your quilt in the works. Lovely post today.

I was at Walmart the other day and got a bee balm in yellow at half price. I do love your color though.
ReplyDeleteHumidity is very high here, too - no house painting this morning for DH. Pretty purples!

ReplyDeleteThe beebalm is very pretty. I might have to look into getting some. You are making good progress on the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the binding and the bee balm.
