one quilt and blueberry picking

I finished this quilt block just in time yesterday afternoon to send it out in the mail. It is actually going back to Illinois to the first blogger I ever met :) Dorie & Meg decided to start a little quilt along called One Quilt, with 12 of us ladies and they were sweet enough to invite me to participate. This month the block was for Dorie & I absolutely love the fabrics she picked! So much that I just couldn’t bring myself to add any other fabrics into the block… I actually had a few fabrics that I considered, but decided I just loved the 3 fabrics she picked too much. :) (Dorie you might have to tell me where you found that cute tree & squirrel fabric…)

Speaking of bloggers that I have met… I had a lovely morning yesterday meeting Joanna and her 3 little boys for a bit of blueberry picking! I had never been blueberry picking before, but had an absolutely wonderful time chatting with Joanna. I didn’t leave empty handed either, I picked enough blueberries so that Ben had a nice snack after work (blueberries are one of his favorite fruits…).

Joanna also brought me some beautiful fabric and this amazing hanger…

I had actually been thinking I really needed to find a pretty hanger for photographing shirts & other things sometimes and this is perfect! It makes me think about the Pacific Northwest every time I see it (which makes me think about how happy I am to live in such an amazing place:)

that hanger is amazing(that is a sentence I never thought I’d write). I finished my block just in time too–seems as if we are all last minute gals. Yours is so nice.

Awww. I’m glad you like everything! You’re such a sport to go blueberry picking when you’re not even a fan of blueberries. Next time YOU get to pick the venue :) Beautiful quilt square–love that fabric in the middle!

Very cool hanger! Blueberry picking sounds like fun! It’s too hot to grow them down here or we’d be at the u-pick blueberry farm in a heartbeat! :o)

Great hanger and gorgeous fabric - I had some of that in blue and it was used up very quickly.
