The Taste of Summer


What’s your favorite bite of summer? Mine is crisp, juicy watermelon, although nothing beats a buttered ear of sweet corn or homegrown tomatoes on white bread with mayo. It just isn’t summertime without them!



It's a project I set aside years ago when I gave up doing handwork. Lucky for me, my good friend, Ruth, offered to finish it!



Just look at her beautiful handwork. She crosshatched through the 2" squares... 



and stitched cables in the daisy-print border. Can you see how the perle cotton catches the light?



Mmm... strawberries on the back too.


It's a sweet taste of summertime all year long!

  2. Terrific recipe for capturing the essence of summertime. I really need to make more little quilts instead of always making lap size versions.

  3. That quilt is so sweet! And perfectly captures the essence of summer...which seems to be slowly slipping from our grasp.
