Muscadines and Paw Paws are getting ripe.

| The Paw Paw is not too pretty , but it is sweet and yummy . |

Each paw paw usually has 6 to 8 large seeds which are about an inch in length. You just have to eat the pulp around the seeds and along the skin of the paw paw. They are yummy! |
| Did you notice the Santa fabric? I always try to sneak some Christmas fabric into my scrappy quilts. 😀 |

| I am aiming for 32 pieced blocks in my Irish Chain. |

You are ahead of me with the Irish Chain, I haven't done anything! I'm not sure when the start will happen. Your quilt is so bright and cheery. We have paw-paws here at our new house. They're not quite ready yet but soon. The grandsons love them! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what colors you choose for your Irish Chain quilt, Gretchen. I know when you get started , you will whip it out in no time. Oh wonderful that you have Paw paw trees on your property. They are a great late summer treat. Thank you for the sweet visit, Gretchen. Hugs.
DeleteI have never tasted a paw paw, but you've made me want to! Your Irish Chain blocks are beautiful, Melisa - I love the yellow background. Those Sheep Virtues pieces are sweet as can be. I bet you're enjoying stitching them!
ReplyDeleteThey are very sweet. We have to pick them quick once they get ripe because the squirrels love them. The muscadines are my favorite though- they are amazing. I am having a ball stitching the sheep virtues. They stitch up so quickly. Have a blessed day, Diann .Hugs.
DeleteI wish I was in your neighborhood. I think it would be wonderful to spend a day with you and your creativity! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteOh that would be delightful, Sandi. And I would certainly have a nice cup of hot tea ready for you :) I am sure we would have a grand day stitching and chatting away. Thank you so much for bringing a bright smile to my day. I wish you the most lovely day. Warm hugs from the holler.
DeleteA nice hot cup of tea would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great with your Lala quilt, I love your colors. I have never seen nor tasted a pawpaw. Do you make pies with it or just eat it out of hand? Your needlework looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteRight now we are just eating them right off of the tree. Though the trees have been growing for a few years; it has taken awhile before they put on fruit; in fact this is the 2nd year. We are just battling the squirrels to pick the fruit . LOL. Thank you for the sweet Saturday visit, Linda. I hope you are doing well. Stay cool and enjoy your day in the quilt room. Hugs.
DeleteLala is really coming along. I love your red centers. I'd love to stop by for a glass of iced tea and sewing. Lol!
ReplyDeleteCome on by, Susie. I will have the iced tea ready and I will even pick us some paw paws :) I have had a great day in the sewing room. I have 2 more blocks laid out for my chains; I hope to get to them today. Have a beautiful and blessed day. Hugs.
