Prairie Flowers

 My son is living in Phoenix for a couple of years.

 He has tried growing some flowers on his apartment deck with no luck in the heat of the summer. 

He recently purchased a hammock for the deck instead of investing in more plants that just die from the heat. 

For his birthday, I'm going to surprise him with flowers that should never die.

I love watching Missouri Star Quilt Company's Youtube videos.

Recently, I saw the Prairie Quilt video and I immediately thought of my son, prairie flowers with yellow centers and green leaves.

I decided to quilt in arcs to show movement, the wind.

It looks great on my hammock! 

Project Between Projects

 I saw Joann Fabrics had an excellent sell on their outdoor fabrics. 

My outdoor cushions that I have had for at least a decade are needing a change, something cheery! So, I saw a motif that I like! And the fabric was a great deal for outdoor fabrics. 

The insides of the cushions were still good and clean for use in the updated cushions. So while waiting for other fabrics to arrive for another quilt project, I went to work on bringing new life to the cushions.

Now just waiting for the weather to warm up so that I can sit outside! 

Evening Project

 Another Christmas gift completed! This just took a number of hours in the evening while watching tv.

I thought the fabric would be nice to use in an apron for the male chef in my family.
