Fresh picked raspberries, mmmmmmm...

The kids and I ventured out west of town to pick fall raspberries today.  Oh, my.  Soooooo good.  I should make jam or something but I think I will just eat them.  and put them on ice cream.  and put them on my Cheerios.  and put them on waffles.  and next week when they are gone I might just go and pick some more.  Because they are my favorite fruit of all, possibly my favorite food.  period.

I've been spending more time with my camera and kids than anything else...

Yes, I have some time to blog but nothing "quilty" for you.  I've been spending lots of time with my camera trying to get the perfect shot of these two...

I need some art on my walls so I'm working on the photography skills and looking for some smiles.  Lucky for me the kids are not yet sick of my camera and are still home every day.  Two more weeks and they will both be in school.  {cue smiles and tears}

I've also been checking out some local city gardens.  I love Minnesota!

I am also very excited to report that I sold a quilt a few weeks ago!  The Four Square quilt has found a new home and I hope it keeps somebody warm and cozy this fall!!  I've been stocking up on some new fabric, getting ready for some projects.  I'll share those soon but I must enjoy these fleeting days of summer!

I'm here! The machine is on!

Hello!  I'm guessing there are not many people out there checking out the blog since I have not posted all summer.  I have slowly started up the machine and have a tabletop quilt to share.  This was my first project using the cotton/linen blend fabric and I quite like it.  It stretches more than regular cotton and that takes some getting used to.  Anyway, better get back to summer...

This item will be for sale at Mama's Happy this weekend!
