Here's my last posting of another of my nature themed quilts for National Quilting Month. I missed getting this up yesterday for National Quilting Day! 😬 Anyhoo! Here's one I did in honor of my family's trips to go see the bluebonnets every year.

Here's my 2nd nature quilt post for National Quilting Month. This is the quilt that I made to represent summer in my Seasons Series. This pattern and fabric was created by one of my favorite designers, Stephanie Brandenburg. She's a gardener/quilter too so the fabric she creates always features these grungy flowers which is right up my alley.

I bet you all didn't know I am a quilter! 🧵 It's national quilt month so I thought I'd share some of my quilts. Most of the quilts I've made for myself have a nature theme, so I'll post them for the rest of the month. Here's the very first quilt I made for myself. It's part of a series I'm doing for each season. This is the spring quilt. Notice that the quilting pattern is bees. 🐝 I love this so much! Didn't do that part myself, I sent this one out to be quilted. The last picture is of the backing.

Whew!! We went hard in the Ward this weekend! 😅🌱 The 2nd Friday Volunteer Night included a pleasant surprise! A good friend of mine came out from Cypress & brought her nephew who was visiting from out of town. We prepped beds to get in a fresh load of soil & found lots of sweet potatoes too! 🍠 Saturday morning we added new soil to the beds & got started planting. A BIG thank you goes out to those who helped with this big job! 💪🏽 spring has sprung & we're making sure our gardens are ready! 🌱🍅🪏🥒🧅🌽🥬
