Fruits of My Garden's Labor

I just picked two of my colored Cauliflower.  I have grown the purple, orange and white, but I could  not get the green to come up before.  The green is a trip of a spiral.  You can see some of the water droplets in the picture but enjoy!




 
 
 
 
My Sugar Snap Peas are coming along also...  A little Pyracantha in the back ground.

Recent Sewing

I had preciously posted pictures of the T-shirt Quilt I made for my friend to give to her daughter for Christmas.   I returned the unused shirts, jackets, sweats, etc. to Lynda (the mom) when I was done.... Or so she thought.  I kept a few of the items and made a tote bag for her.   She enjoyed receiving the surprise gift.

I embroidered some towels for friends to have for Valentine's Day. 

 
 
 
 
Our February Sew N Sews project was a microwave hot pad bowl. Sylvia showed us how to make the padded bowl cradle with a lid to use in the microwave.  You place your ceramic/china bowl with soup, leftover, etc. to be warmed in the padded bowl and warm it in the microwave.  When done you can lift out the hot bowl without burning your hands thanks to the padded bowl underneath.... It also has a lid to keep splatters down  (ie not having to clean inside of microwave so often)  It is all made from 100% cotton so no fires in microwave....
 
A special thanks to Sylvia for her expertise!
