This is my oldest quilt waiting to be finished and yesterday was the day.
Laying out a quilt can be back breaking. I am lucky Mr. b is always willing to help me. I lay out the layers on a board in our garage and then begin pinning.
I tried to pick out fabrics that you would have found in a Five and Dime store in the 1950's. I love vintage. Today it is supposed to reach 104 degrees so you can find me in my little sewing sweatshop in front of the air conditioner quilting this old/new quilt.
There may be banana bread for my coffee break. I have an oven in the basement that comes in handy on hot days.
Stay cool...b

Kombucha
I have been brewing kombucha for weeks and today I poured my first bottles. Kombucha is a fermented tea that is good for just about everything that ails you. While we waited for mine to ferment we have been buying it in the store to drink.

Are you crying?
We pulled our camper to North Dakota for a week where we got to watch our two youngest granddaughters play ball. While we were having a discussion on sports I told them "There is no crying in baseball."

pink
This has been the most flowers my Weigela bush has ever had.
It is years and years old and has been a bit of a struggle for it but I'm glad we both hung in there.
I put my North Dakota rhubarb to good use yesterday.
And that's all the pink I have to show you today. I love pink don't you?
