Cool weather in the country
Here's the place mats that I started on last week. I was in the kitchen most of yesterday afternoon. I made blueberry muffins, no bake chocolate cookies, and stir-fry. Then I finished these place mats. The homespun strips are pieced to a piece of Warm and Natural batting. Then I added a muslin backing before rag quilted the quilted patchwork hearts. Then I hand quilted the strips before adding the rag quilted "border". The reverse side looks nice, too. Take a look on Etsy.
I spent most of today trying to get my computer running again. My hard drive was so full that it wouldn't run any programs or let me load pictures, or anything. I did finish one of the little dresses I was making for the twins. I'll post a picture tomorrow. I also got out my menus that I am planning for camp. Last year I volunteered to spend a week helping in the kitchen at a camp for kids with cancer. I will need to get the food ordered in a couple of weeks. Camp is the first week of June.
We are supposed to get frost tonight. I moved most of my plants back inside already. Still have one planter to go. I have little radishes in the garden, but a little frost won't hurt them.

Thanks! I'm kind of in a primitive, homespun theme right now. You just never know which way the wind is going to blow my brain!
We had 29 degrees this morning and lots of frost. Good thing I brought all my plants in. They might have been okay on the porch, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
