First Broccoli In the Garden
For all you mighty home gardeners out there, this picture may not seem that impressive However, it makes me smile because it is my very first BROCCOLI! EVER. And as my husband says, it might be my only.
Do you see it? The broccoli crown is only about 3" but based on what I've been reading online, I needed to harvest it because the florets were beginning to 'loosen'...if you know otherwise, please let me know so I don't prematurely harvest prematurely again.
Why is it my only? I started to see bunnies [along with the usual other critters like aphids, squirrels and million birds, etc] starting to invade my garden. I sprayed soapy water for the aphids, put up little barriers for squirrels and now bunnies...sigh. Hopefully the other broccoli will survive this small zoo we're creating in our yard.
Crossing my fingers we will have more than one broccoli to harvest before it gets too cold around here.
Happy gardening everyone!

Chevron Coral Quilts Completed
A quick picture update on 2 new baby quilts. Beautiful corals and a modern design. Love the way these turned out. Each is about 36" square.
One of the reasons why I made these quilts is my love my the quilt backing. It is from Michael Miller's Les Amis collection found here and I have been trying to a reason to use this fabric...and I am super happy with it in these quilts...and LOVE backing :)
For the binding I used an old favorite I had leftover from a few quilts ago - the colors matches perfectly and the slight print on it is just enough contrast to the quilt top.
I made 2 of these to add to the shop. They are neatly folded and ready for a new home :)

Made By ME #98 Linky Party and Features
Welcome to another week of sharing beautiful projects :). I don't know about you, but it's probably true for most of you out there...the realization that it's almost the year-end holidays is hitting me hard. The idea of hosting about half a dozen (and counting) parties/get-togethers/dinners in the next couple of months is beginning to make a little nervous...and tired :). But it'll be a lot of fun as well.
Of course I have great inspirations and ideas from all my fellow bloggers out there. Love the projects popping up and it gives me comfort to know that there are so many of us out there gearing up for the holidays as well.
Have fun, share your ideas and wonderful creations! Take a look at some great ones from last week and add yours at the end of this post. Have a fun and productive week everyone!
