pick strawberries day

Today is Pick Strawberries Day!

I wish I lived someplace where I could pick my own.  But I do live in California, and that is just the next best thing.

Heather Ross, Briar Rose Strawberries

On Mother's Day, Strawberry Shortcake was my dessert request. My own mom did the cake.  She called it a one egg cake, it was like a big biscuit.  And I loved it so much better that if it was a moist cake.  Topped with fresh strawberries and our own whipped cream. Yum!

I finished my quilt! I haven't finished what I've started in a long time.  Seems like it anyway.

These are the fabrics that I started with.  17 Fat Quarters.  Mostly all from the Briar Rose by Heather Ross (love her :) collection from Windham.

Windham has great free patterns. So that's the one I used to make my very own Rainbow Quilt.  Well, it's my very own quilt that will be hanging in the shop for awhile.

It's going off to the quilters this week.  So excited to get it really finished! The quilting always make such a huge, beautiful difference.

p.s. A kit to make this quilt is available in the shop.
