When you bite into them......they look like watermelon! Cute huh? 
Now down to the sewing room. 35 blocks made several weeks ago are now getting the first of red polka dot sashing. Gotta love that chain sewing!
Blocks turned into pairs and pairs turned into rows.
This week I should get all the rows and sashing complete and ready for the 2 borders. Feels so good!!
Not much sewing going on around here the past month. Lots of company, long hours at work... but that isn't the only reason. I just haven't had the desire to head down to he sewing room when it is so nice outside. However, I did finally get the border on this twister quilt. My goal this month is to get backs made for a few quilts that I have ready so I can get them to the quilter! I love a FINISHED quilt!!!
Here I am (where did that gray hair come from???) with 2 of my grandsons making peanut butter covered pinecones to feed the birds this winter. It was a gooey mess but we have about 25 cones covered and ready for the birds.
There were lots of hugs. 
Miniature golf. 
Rousing games of kickball in the front yard.
Swimming at the city pool.
My son in law lifting 2 of my grandsons up out of the water and tossing them up in the air. I think he found out they are getting pretty big for that.
It was 98 degrees for a few days so youngest granddaughter enjoyed the sprinkler.
What a nice couple of "flower head people" greeted us at the start of our tour.
Beautiful flowers, herbs and waterfalls.
The herb garden covered a large area with paths to walk through and signs telling what herbs we were seeing.
There were tents where you could make a lavender wreath, lavender wand for the young children or lavender bees wax candles. Have I mentioned how wonderful the place smelled?? There were also people giving lavender foot massages, or selling lavender ice cream, or making lavender wax hands. They sold every kind of essential oil in the shop too.
Paddle boats in a beautiful pond surrounded by lavender.
A small lavender field that we could cut our own lavender to take home. The smell of the whole farm was amazing. This was just a small cutting field for visitors. There are acres of lavender in fields all around.
Wonderful stream flowing through lush grassy areas. Even the benches were lavender.
Lavender fairies who carried around wishing dust. They would give children some in their hands, tell them to make a wish and then throw the dust in the air.
Horse drawn buggy rides, pony rides and a fun little town and play area for the children too.
Just so you know I haven't been completely idle this summer I finally got the binding on this quilt. Lately black, white and red have just been so appealing to me. I love the way the red bounces off the quilt when paired with black and white. I used flannel on the back again. That is my favorite now so the quilt is nice and warm and cuddly. Of course, right now warm and cuddly aren't so necessary with the 95 degree weather we are having but I know in too short a time it will be cold and windy and snowy again and then "someone" will really enjoy the warmth of the flannel.
