As you can see below, I did cut up my first quilt to use on the deck. I had just enough to make a little table cover for my glass table which was getting rusty and not looking very nice. I am happy that I will get to enjoy the old quilt for another purpose. I think it adds a bit of charm to the deck. Since I did not have to go to work today, I was able to sit here and enjoy the early morning (note the coffee cup on the table).
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.
