Patriotic Throw Ready for Quilting

I am thankful that I have my patriotic throw pieced and ready for me to quilt. The borders and stars were sewn on tonight.

I hung it at the top of my stairs on the landing just to get these pics. My goal has been to have a seasonal quilt hung for each season. As you can see, I am really cutting it close with this one. 

Hopefully, I can take it down tomorrow, make my sandwich and start quilting. 

Blooms in my gardens this week 

I love when my flowers are blooming, it makes me happy and brings me peace in these troubling times. Look closely at the purple coneflowers in the second row. There is a beautiful swallowtail butterfly doing his job. 

I have noticed Japanese Beetles on some of my flowers and rose bushes the past few days. I have sprayed some of my flowers but want to let the pollinators work.

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
