A Perfect Picnic

 So, Are you ready to

join me on a Picnic?

Thanks to our super sponsor Riley Blake Designs

and Peterboro Baskets

I received this lovely little

package weeks ago

filled with

3 yards of laminated cotton.

It was....



Riley Blake's Red Medium Dot laminate.

I have been in a polka dot phase.

Just love them,

Well, since one of our lovely

sponsors is Riley Blake.

I decided to use nothing but

their fabric when creating my Picnic quilt.



I have spent weeks preparing

for the perfect picnic.

Embroidering cute little napkins
with Aunt Martha's Proud to be an American transfer

and with a ruffle of course

And what would a picnic be

without a quilt 



Sewing with the laminated cotton,

was a breeze and damp grass
won't ever be a problem when this is thrown on it. 

So, what did we do for our picnic.....

I decided to let my kiddos

give me the plan,

and it was pie and iced

tea in the backyard with

their best friends.
The weather here has been a
little iffy.  It is so hard to plan
anything because of all the flash floods
we have been experiencing.



A slice of homemade Strawberry Rhubarb pie,

(my grandmother's recipe)

the sweet smells of first days of summer break,

sticky fingers and bare feet

It never matters where you have

your picnic, but the memories

you make doing it.

You can find the pattern

to this quilt at

my Craftsy Shop. 

Go and check out the rest

of these picnic parties
