 Good Morning blog friends,

Another zoom meeting with Chooky and her followers.  It's always great to see everyone again, catch up with what everyone's is up to and of course how Covid19 is treating their corner of the world.  I'm never a person of many words but love listening to everyone else chime in.  I am still in awe of Kathleen's 1/2" hexies.  


I have a few projects on the go, maybe a few too many but love the variety.  

Summermoon, using Tilda fabrics. Stay tuned for progress pics.

Diamonds, designed by Border Creek Station.  This is the second hexie project I have started.  Each hexie is 3/4".  I am very pleased with my progress so far and will quilt it using the 'big stitch' technique.  

I've also been on a 'pillow kick' lately.  I love Edyta Sidar and her new book Pillow Talk.  I thought I would work my way through her book making pillows for Christmas gifts.  So far I have made two and love them both.  It will be hard to part with them.


And finally...its pickle season.  1 Bushel down.  That was crazy since I had only ever pickled once before and had no idea how many pickles came in a bushel.  43 jars later they are done.  We can't wait to taste them in 30 days.

  5. Your canned pickles look beautiful in the jars. I will be posting salsa next week on "I like Thursdays". My last ones are processing right now.

    YOur work is so beautiful, Holly! I love the wreath of flowers the most. I really like the way they are quilted as well!
