Here are some glimpses at a couple of projects I have on the go right now.
The finished (yippee!) quilt top is called Garden Fence and is a quick, easy top to put together. I am not usually a repeat, multiple block kind of sewer, but this top really appealed to me for the person I intend it. I think Bali Batiks suit it very well, I had just enough of the sashing fabric, and the backing I picked up in Maine last summer will be perfect. Now, to decide how I want to quilt it..
The other project is an easy 2.5 inch strip project. So far I have cut a selection of green fabrics into this width strip and now I am sewing them together in groups of 3 and 5. It is non-commital sewing and just right for breaks from my other work. And playing with placement of the strips and the resulting blocks I cut from the sewn strips will be downright fun.
I quit the kitchen once my kids left for University and Rejean willingly picked up the slack, with great style I might add! He hasn’t expresses any interest as yet in baking, so every once in a while I indulge and that usually means muffins.
Today I made these super delicious blueberry muffins from my Mom’s tried and true recipe, using lovely New Brunswick blueberries picked by my sweet and talented sister-in-law, Pauline.

ReplyDeleteI'm also making the Garden Fence. It's so easy to piece and I like its modern look.
MMMmmm...NB blueberry muffins! My taste buds are tingling. Your Garden Fence is looking great, Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t realize what a popular pattern Garden Fence is! It sure is a quick, pretty quilt and it seems to lend itself to any type fabric, doesn’t it? Can’t wait to see yours finished!
ReplyDeleteThey are good muffins..I could live on muffins, I think..And the green quilt is starting to shape up. Actually, I think I have enough for two! Opps!
ReplyDeleteThose blueberries are soooo tasty! I try to get some from her every year. I really like the Garden Fence pattern, too. A quick sew and so many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteThanks, M-R! Blueberries do grow well here in the Maritimes - I think it is the sea air..lol Hoping to quilt the Garden Fence this weekend. I just have to stop changing my mind on how I am stitching it..
