I am so excited to have a vegetable garden this year! In a few short weeks, my tiny little plants have erupted into a mass of green - with little yellow flowers that will eventually be tomatoes and zucchini - and the corn we will have!!! Yup, I'm EXCITED!!!!! I haven't had a vegetable patch for many, many years. Our son, Adam, gave Roxie a huge antique "horse trough" for Mothers Day that I filled with soil and planted my vegetables - check it out!!!

You are all just terrific!!! And, this whole blogging adventure is amazingly fun!!! I'm adding two more friends to my list of "friends". Their blogs are chock full of good stuff and both Joanna and Anne are truly my friends. If you haven't enjoyed their blogs yet, what are you waiting for??



Stay Tuned for more summer fun!! Has anyone seen "UP" yet? I can't wait to see this one!!!!

    I dream of Jeanie...She couldn't show her belly button
    Twilight Zone...scared the bejezzus out of me
    The Avengers, Emma Peele, great figure
    Beverly Hillbillies...Ellie Mae loved animals and had those fluffy pigtails

    Joe,
    I too remember seeing most of the shows on TV. They were:
    1 I dream of Jeannie
    2 the twilight Zone
    3 the Avengers
    4 the Beverly Hillbillies
    5 the Munsters
    We loved the Hillbillies, I dream of Jeannie and the Munsters - I watched The Avengers less often and the Twilight Zone even less...
    It is interesting how the trends in television change-- Our favorite was MASH.
    Lisa is one lucky girl to win your fabrics.. Your next winner will be a fortunate one too.
    Thanks for hosting this lovely giveaway.
    Regards from a Western Canadian Quilter,

    Hi Joe!

    I love the oldies! I wonder how many of your present shows will gather our fond memories years from now? Not many I imagine.

    Here we go!

    I Dream of Jeannie
    The Twilight Zone (My brothers and sisters could only watch it if I was in another room)
    The Avengers
    The Beverly Hillbillies ( I'll admit - I still watch the re-runs)
    The Munsters - I loved Grandpa and Spot under the stairs!

    Thanks for such a good time. I absolutely love your new quilt "Something Old is New". Can't wait for the pattern. All those little squares!

    Here you go: I dream of Jeannie, The Twilight Zone, The Avengers, The Beverly Hillbillies, and The Munsters (Adams family). My favorite oldie is the Waldons *good night John-Boy*

    The author of The Graceful Garden has a new blog--one stitch at a time!

    Wondering...will you be offering your quilt pattern that looks like houses with quilts on side for purchase? Also, do you stock Cosmo multiwork tread, 2 ply, on spool that can be used in redwork?

    3.The Avengers
    4.The Beverly Hillbillies

    when I look at what I watched as a child, it makes the current young adult selection scary. They are so into reality shows which I think is so boring and not worth watching.

    Hi Joe,
    I have a question for you. I found your pattern Vintage Stars on the Fresh Figs blog and just loved it. I also saw the Parissiene Star pattern and wondered what you thought about either one of those patterns with the new "Frosted Memories" fabric by Holly Taylor. Let me know what you think. Thanks!!
