Our summer garden is blossoming in steady waves of color. The weather's been warm and mild, although a rain storm is moving across the sky now. It's hard to stay focused on any kind of work when all this loveliness is gently bobbing and waving just outside the backdoor.
Even harder to ignore all the u-pick signs going up. Blueberries, in particular just now. And the resulting muffins that someone just pulled out of the oven. Not to mention the jam and pickles that still needs to be made.
But then I see this, and am reminded that it all needs to go somewhere. Today I am sewing new curtains so I can hide some of it under the cutting table! I dare say, I am making progress one way or another.
Shop News: The new bonus transfers for August are up on the PatternBee website today and they are really adorable. I've also been busy adding more older children's patterns to my Vintage Stitch Shop (etsy) as the bonus designs lend themselves so well to them. But the best part is, I'm having a Summer Sale and everything is 25% off. (Blog readers enter coupon code: TURKEYFEATHERS30 to receive a 30% discount!) There are also books, magazines, decorator fabrics, and oil cloth--great for covering picnic tables and chair seats. I hope you will check it out.
Here's a peek:
Your flowers are beautiful, don't you just love this time of the year? Great old muffin tin :) Have a great weekend.

Oh I don't envy the task of putting it all away. Guess that it makes a great time to organize! Enjoy the wonderful days of August.

I ordered a little swing top/jacket pattern for my grand daughter. Thank you for saving these old patterns, what a treasure!
