Cool weather in the country

Homespun quilted appliqued place mats

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.
