Pressing...........


I had to turn the iron on yesterday to press the binding fabric for the current finish so I paired the fabrics for the Snail's Trail and got 4 pairs pressed while I was at it.  Hopefully I'll get some blocks cut today.



While outside checking on my tomato plants I noticed some of the buds on the Tiger Lilies are turning orange.  It won't be long now for the first few blooms.








Thanks to a friend, I had blackberries on vanilla ice cream last night for dessert.  Yummy!

I got the binding strips cut yesterday so I hope to get the binding sewn on the quilt today.  Maybe I'll hand finish this one.

Tiger Lilies hold a beauty all their own,I think I have one lol it grows tall like a tiger lilly but doesn't bloom 🤔maybe I should move it, I noticed it when I first moved here but it was small then & the person that cuts .grass cuts it down ,now I've got to go outside & investigate this flower😄

Lots of pretty fabrics paired up! Those berries and ice cream look so tasty! I am looking forward to seeing the lily bloom. I just can't get over how tall it is.

That’s a nice grouping of fabrics. I feel like golden brown has been out of favor for quite a few years but I love it’s warmth.

Those warm fabrics will make a lovely Snail's Trail quilt, Wanda...
I plan on doing some strip cutting this week and continuing to add to my neutral Ojos...
63 this morning and light drizzle out there...so nice and cool...such a relief from that heat and humidity...
Hugs, Julierose

Your batik array is lovely! What a nice topping for ice cream. Enjoy the day, Wanda.
