A Quilter with a Green Thumb --- Maybe NOT!

 My Aloe plant over grew it's planter.

One day the plant was all in the planter and then next day it was tipping right out of the planter.

So I very carefully moved the loose plants into 3 buckets with a little potting soil in the bottom.

After the holidays I will purchase planters and more potting soil and replant them.

There is still a lot of plant left in the pot.

I need to share the off shoots with my friends again.

Enjoy your day!

I think I will keep my Day Job!

I have been practicing decorating cookies!

I didn't let the cookies cool enough, before I frosted them, so the frosting wasn't smooth on the edges!

I couldn't figure out how to write letters -- backtracked and then the R looks funny.

The RR stands for River Rats.  We are going to a River Rats Party and I wanted to take frosted cookies.

  

I tired to make water waves for the River and I tried to make a little house to represent a camper.  Yikes!  I am not going to quit my day job. 

I just couldn't get the hang of the gel frosting. I will keep trying.

They may not be perfectly frosted, but they sure do taste good!

YES -- the plate of cookies does look like a quilt to me!

Enjoy your day!

It's a Blog Hop Party with Giveaways --- I'm sharing my New Summer Tomatoes Quilt Pattern!

UPDATE:  
This Giveaway has ended!  Click Here --- Winner Announced!
  

It's a Blog Hop Party with Giveaways that is hosted by Quilting Gallery!

I am joining in the fun of the giveaway 

by sharing my new pattern,

 Summer Tomatoes Quilt Pattern  

and 3 Fat Quarters.

YES  YES  YES!

I am giving away the quilt pattern 

and the fabric to make the 

quilt top - a square table topper, 

but sorry, not the tomatoes!

This quilt pattern was inspired by all the tomatoes that I harvested from my container garden this summer.  The pattern makes a 21" X 21" square table topper and you can multiply it, to make larger quilts!

There are two chances to win:

1. Leave a comment to enter --- What is your favorite color of the three tomatoes?  Red, Yellow, or Orange

I suppose, I should include Green, for fried green tomatoes!

2. If you are a follower or a "new" follower, you can enter a second time -- Leave a comment and say you are!  Thanks!

Yes ---  I will ship internationally!

Giveaway ends at Midnight CST on Saturday, Dec. 15th and will be announced on the weekend!

Thanks!

Enjoy your day!
