Summer

It once again feels as though summer has whizzed by.  The radio says that we got less rain than the average, but it sure felt as though the floods had begun!  August in the garden is very rewarding though.  The fuschia coloured phlox and rudebekia are very generous with their colour. Family care left little time to do a lot of quilting, but I did manage at the end to do another journal quilt - an attempt to be a little more abstract. 

 It was also an exercise in using a satin stitch border edge and then zigzagging a decorative thick

thread on the outside.  

                                        this garden photo should have been taken a week earlier, but it does show off the colour.
