About a week ago I got an email from Fabricworm that there was a sale on some of the Charley Harper fabric. I decided I should check it out and see if there were any that I didn't have that I might want in the Arboretum quilt. I found a few..........
I found some nice ones with background colors that will work really well. The bottom right is bears behind birches. I wasn't sure about that one but bears do climb trees and I thought the birches might be a nice addition.
Two of my good friends came to visit yesterday morning and we had a nice outside visit for over 2 hours. I sent a few plants home with them since he is a gardener. I gave her this quilt that she had admired when I finished it last year. It was so good to see them while the weather was still nice and my gardens were looking so good.
The Zinfin Doll Hydrangea is getting close to its raspberry color.
I'm wondering how big this bush will be next year. This is its second year in my garden and the branches are still close to the ground. I hope it is going to get taller and not just spread out in diameter.
I especially like the blooms that are two toned.
I had one large shallow pot and 4 smaller pots with Pansies in them this year. They don't like hot weather so a lot of the plants had died. And then there were the chipmunks or squirrels digging in the pots. I finally took all of the live plants were left and put them all in the big pot. There are still a few nice blooms.
The new CH prints look like they'd be great additions....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift quilt--;)00

Hope your Saturday is a good one hugs, Julierose

ReplyDeleteYou sure selected fun C.H. prints. I can just visualize them sprinkled in with your trees.
ReplyDeleteGifting your friend with your lovely quilt is a treasure for her I’m sure . I know that feeling.
Beautiful hydrangea bushes in full glory, your gardens have produced a beautiful array this summer.

It sounds like a wonderful visit. It’s great to catch up in person. I’ll bet the quilt gift was most appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLove your hydrangeas. I want to plant one in my side garden
ReplyDeleteThanks on the tip for Fabricworm. For some reason, I thought they went out of business and was delighted to sign up for their email list. Great fabrics. Nice blooms on the hydrangea.
