Oh the heat & dryness!!!

We actually got a reprieve from the over 100 temperatures today. I was able to sit outside comfortably until about 1 o'clock. But I live on top of a ridge with a breeze most of the time.

I finished the stocking quilt but it is hard to stage a good picture when your yard looks like this. 


We haven't had rain in I don't know how long.

I am pleased with the way this quilt turned out. The only thing I would change is that I would cross hatch in the stocking area instead of stippling. Now I can't wait to use it. I may just have to put it on a bed or over the couch so I can pretend its cold outside.


And with the pillow I made. I plan for the quilt to go on the wall above the bed and the pillow on the bed.


And the backing.


Isn't it fun!!! I have a lot of novelty Christmas fabric from 5 or 6 years ago. I don't really want to make a quilt top out of it but it is great for backs. But if I ever want to get rid of it, I will need to make some tops from it.

Oh geez! I just saw on the new where Sweetwater, TN has opened a Redneck Resort. 

Don't think I could do it. Actually, people do this stuff around here all of the time. Just not me!!! I must say, the man will probably end up wealthy.

Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting!

  1. love the quilt! our yard looks like your yard - no way a person can water it all and keep up with the heat. I was outside all morning - it was nice in the shade and being up higher than the town isn't it.

  2. I love your quilt! When I saw it, I immediately thought of cold and snow. Here in the south, we don't hardly ever see snow, but we get some chilly temps. I don't like cold very much. I feel like a Popsicle in the winter time. We are having temps in the 100's and it's a real scorcher here, but I can pretty much deal with the heat way better than the cold.
