I really thought I would have this corner applique finished by today but I was distracted by another project instead.
Just one more leaf needs to be stitched onto the right side, that should happen today.
Then I need two leaves on the left side and it's finished!
I'll look again. 😞
I was in Wakarusa last Wednesday and was surprised to see the quilt garden hadn't been cleared yet. The participating garden committees decide when their garden is 'finished'. They can't be cleared before September 1. Most leave their flowers in place until the middle of September but some want them cleared because they're ready to be finished for the season.
We had the first frost of this autumn Thursday morning but it wasn't a hard frost. The farmer didn't have any frost on the truck windows when he went to the farm to milk his one cow at 6 AM.
Some of the flowers in the front look finished but most of them are still colorful.
I'm sure they will pull the flowers this week. Cold weather is coming!

Blueberry pie is gorgeous! Isn’t it annoying when you can’t find something you know you have? Hope it shows up! Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteBlueberry pie is such a beautiful quilt. And thanks for sharing one more photo of the quilt garden. It has been fun to see this become so pretty as the weeks have gone by.
ReplyDeleteYou know you "squirreled" me into buying that Red and White book your pattern came from, and I am amazed at how much prettier your version is! Almost thou persuadest me to learn to applique. ;) The quilt garden still looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt. I hope you find your lost piece of fabric!
ReplyDeleteBlueberry Pie is so pretty. I hope you find that fabric. It is probably right under your nose. That quilt garden still looks pretty good in the photo. We have had some cold nights lately so I will be emptying the last of my flower pots today.
ReplyDeleteOh to be so close to done and not able to find the fabric. I hope it turns up soon so you can be finished. It's such a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteDear Gretchen, Hopefully you will find the fabric. The quilt garden is beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful applique design! I hope you find that fabric - that's always so frustrating when you know it's "around here somewhere!"
ReplyDeleteWe've had a seasonably warm fall here, too. I hope you find your missing print! It's looking beautiful. I wouldn't notice the difference if you substitute another print in and don't remove the 3 you've done.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteHaving visited Wakarusa many times, I'm always enjoy seeing your pictures of the Quilt Garden. Brings back a lot of good memories of good times with good friends! We just had our 1st hard frost this week too ... much further north than you, here in SW Ontario. Hopefully Blueberry Pie's missing fabric will reappear soon and save you from the extra work. Wish I had some the same, to send you, but despite all my blues, I know I do not have that one!
ReplyDeleteThe garden is still looking lovely - such a shame to clear it in September if it still looks this good in October! Hope you find that fabric. xx
ReplyDeleteThat garden is still so pretty! We just got a killing freeze last week, but my neighbor covered her amazing flowers each night so they are still blooming. It is supposed to reach 80 degrees here (SD) today - so definitely warmer than normal for October.
ReplyDeleteBlueberry pie is amazing! Love the name too. I'm sure by now you will have found 'the missing piece' (fingers crossed).
ReplyDeleteHope you find your fabric! The quilt is gorgeous--the blue/ivory is just striking! (Def on my bucket list...but minus the applique. I love it but lack the patience!)
ReplyDeleteYour Blueberry Pie is gorgeous and so close to a finish. I hope you find that fabric soon so we will see it in all its finished beauty. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday. Hope you have lots of fun this week. 😉
ReplyDeleteYour Blueberry Pie is coming along nicely. I so sympathize with the lost fabric. My bets are that you will take it out and use another fabric as a substitute and then....you will find it. Murphy's Law. Either that or just delay and delay hoping to find it. Really, I just am sending positive vibes for you to finish it. We all get stuck on projects. Be proud of all that you have done this year. Your quilts are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt really is going to be stunning when it's finished. What a wonderful project.
ReplyDeleteOooh, almost finished! Can't wait to see it in it's entirety, Gretchen! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
