First harvest and quilting...

Jun 18

... What century am I living in?
Our first harvest started with realizing too late that we had zucchini in, and so we ended up with 10-12 inch zucchinis.

The first one John picked, size 10 and a half:


So far we have enjoyed zucchini, squash, green beans, and lettuce. The cucumbers and peppers are still small, and the tomatoes are still green, but still gorgeous:

The corn is getting closer as a few of the stalks have formed "tassels":

Here is a photo of our fabulous harvesting crew (I was working, so they all got to deal with the heat without me ;)

With one of the foot-long zucchini, I made some delicious sausage and mushroom stuffed zucchini, smothered in cheese and spaghetti sauce - delish!

So on to my other project. Here are the pieces to the quilt (just the first 1.75 rows). Please ignore the gray carpet and the fabric softener sheet:

I'm super excited about the fabric and the colors and have about a million ideas to bring all the colors into Brooke's nursery. One of those ideas is a coordinating pillow to go on the pink chair that's in the room. I brought in the birdie theme by cutting out a silhouette that I'm now stitching to the front of the pillow:

So that's it for now. Just looking forward to meeting Brooke Catherine Clutter in less than 3 months!
