Rollin' In High Cotton

I am rolling in high cotton! 😀 

Really, I am with lots of beautiful scenery and quilting to boot !  This weekend I have been admiring a glorious cotton field. 

Hello  there, Sunshine! Welcome! How are you doing on this lovely summer's day?

 Mr. Pinker and I went off on a little excursion for the weekend, and like I said my view has been one of a magnificent cotton field and farm. 

I do not know much about  cotton, but the plants had  white and purple/pink blooms. How pretty! Hmmm do the pinkish flowers turn white as they mature? I don't know, but I sure am curious. 

 

So what does one do while camping near a cotton field in Alabama you ask. Well, I pulled out my Alabama Beauty quilt for some slow summer stitching. 

 Some of you may remember that I purchased this quilt in 2023 during the World's Longest Yard Sale. 

It is hand pieced and was partially hand quilted using a pretty pink thread. So I picked up my needle and thread in 2023 and continued the quilting as the original quilter had started. 

Eeeh! About two thirds of the quilt is quilted! I am seeing the light toward a finish. 🌞🌞🌞

So what am I going to do when I get home? Hmmm 🤔  Well, unpack of course, and all of those back home chores, but that's not any fun to speak of  is it?   I think I will continue working on Alabama Beauty this week and perhaps work on some fall stitching. 

Autumn's Pumpkins is in the works. 

Soooo... what do you have in store for the week?  

 Milk glass, plates and a little creamer are all new thrifty finds from the World's Longest Yard Sale this year. I have to say I was doing the Happy dance. 

  

I love jadeite, but here recently I have been collecting Delphite. Two more saucers to add to my wee collection. 

 As always,

Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
