I've always admired the circa 1950 Calico Garden Quilt from the Shelburne Museum collection. I love the little flowers tucked in between the on point nine patches--so cute. There are so many different versions out there, but I recently purchased the pattern published by Hoopla which is pre-printed on freezer paper. How smart is that!?! I'm thinking that this will be my next project when I finish my "A Bountiful Life" quilt. This is a similar version from Primitive Gatherings. Love it! You have to check out this version by Judy Mathieson--especially if you are a dog lover-it's a hoot. Follow this link and hover your mouse over the quilt to see it close-up. You will be surprised at the fabric choices--so fun!
Summer planting arrives once the fear of frost is gone for the season. Spring planting is also exciting because I love radishes and spinach, but it’s also a slow process while the cold lingers and some spring crops can be tricky to grow.

A lovely ode to spring and summer, take home this Blue Floral Cotton Lawn. Blue and white flowers bloom in an illustrated design that covers the entirety of this soft, smooth woven. Light and airy, use its breezy drape to create ruffled dresses, paneled tops, lingerie, tiered gathered skirts and buttoned shirts. Thin and translucent, insert a lining or use it as an overlay for more opacity. Sevenberry Cotton Lawn is one of my favorite fabrics with which to sew. It is very close to a Liberty of London Tana Lawn but at a third of the price. Even so, it doesn't feel like a compromise. The prints are classic interpretations of ditsy florals, art nouveau motifs and miniature paisley prints that are available in a myriad of colorways. Cotton lawn is a lightweight, silky substate similar to a voile or batiste. Sevenberry's lawns are 100% cotton with very fine threads that are tightly woven, creating a crisp, but smooth hand and a supple drape. That combination adds strength and creates a silky feel that lends itself to a variety of garment sewing and quilting applications. I generally recommend using a small needle, maybe a 70/10 or the smallest Universal needle you can find and 60-weight thread. (Remember, that with thread, a smaller weight number indicates a heavier thread. This means that 60-weight is going to be a bit lighter than a more standard, all-purpose thread). If you're looking for a way to brighten up those chilly winter days ahead, this floral print is definitely the way to go. Whether you are in need of a statement-making skirt, an eye catching top, skirt, mask or hair accessory- anchor your plaid jacket and cashmere sweater with this floral print. This listing is sold per half yard. Select qty: 1 for 1/2 yard, qty: 2 for 1 yard, qty: 3 for 1 1/2 yards, etc. Multiple yards of fabric will be cut in one continuous length.

Calico Beardtongue has flaring, bugle-shaped flowers that fan out from sizeable clusters, blooming across a spectrum of delicate mauves and lavenders. This plant will sometimes showcase rich maroon and aubergine tones, especially at the base of the blossoms. The leaves are a bright, glossy green and are positioned opposite one another. Upright stems maintain fabulous posture in the garden, often accentuating their presence with contrasting, blushing reds. If seasonal fluctuations are “just right,” the foliage and seed pods can change to a fiery scarlet in the fall. Penstemon calycosus is an adaptable plant that will tolerate more shade than many other Penstemon species; it is a great candidate for bright woodlands and dappled shade cottage gardens. It does prefer rich, consistently moist soil, especially if sited in full sun. In the southern regions of its native range, Calico Beardtongue can be deadheaded and the basal rosettes will remain somewhat evergreen all year long. Calico Beardtongue produces nectar and entices long-tongued pollinators to come visit, including a wide variety of native bees, bumblebees, mason bees, leaf-cutting bees, and honeybees. Some less common, but memorable, guests include Sphinx Moths and Hummingbirds. This species is considered deer and rabbit resistant. Also commonly called Long-Sepal Penstemon, Long-Sepal Beardtongue, and Smooth Beardtongue.

August has settled in like honey— sticky and sweet. The mornings greet us with dewdrops and cooler temperatures. But the sun, rich and golden, will still warm the days. The air is thick with change.

Aristolochia Littoralis Vine Also known as: Calico Flower, Elegant Dutchman's Pipe, formerly known as Aristolochia elegans. Here is a tropical twining evergreen vine that produces unusual flowers. It is native to South America, but has naturalized in certain tropical areas around the world as well as in Central America and the southern U. S. Each of the flowers resembles a dutchman’s pipe suspended on a thin stalk. They are creamy white densely mottled with deep purple-brown. They primarily bloom in summer and fall, but in warm climates are free flowering. Where winter hardy, it will grow to 15-20’, but can be grown smaller in containers that are overwintered indoors in greenhouses or sunrooms. In one growing season, it will grow to as much as 8’ long. Plants produce slender stems clad with alternate, simple, heart- or kidney-shaped, glossy light green leaves (to 3-4” across) that are gray-green beneath. Leaves are malodorous when bruised. The B. polydamas caterpillars love to eat and naturally help prune this vine, ultimately resulting in beautiful butterflies all over your yard! Winter hardy to USDA Zones 9-12 where it may be grown in moist, moderately fertile, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Avoid dry soils. This vine can become somewhat weedy in warm climates. Keep soils moist during the growing season, but reduce water in winter. It also may be grown as an annual. This offer is for 10 seeds.
