Garden: The Bee Buddy who did this row pieced a profusion of brightly colored flowers embellished with fun buttons.
But there's booze in the blender, And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Food: This lady (who also is a delightful neighbor) appliqued a beautiful bowl of fruit in her row. She also added margarita glasses with wedges of citrus and umbrellas to complete the scene. Oh so thirst-wuenching! :)
Our house, was our castle and our keep. Our house, in the middle of our street
Home: In all the row-by-rows that I have done, the final row is always called home and hearth. Obviously not much hearth time is needed in the summer but the cottage is too cute for words. The 4 heart flowers represent what our family was doing at the time. We were active-duty Army, sewing away at kids' sporting events...
Straight out of Cape Cod, We're keeping it real
Finally the rows all put together. I had done several row quilts and wanted to come up with a different layout. The Pentagon shape is an obvious homage to what brought us to the District in the first place. The background is a hot pink background with many,many appliqued alligators. I was trying to go with a somewhat preppy theme as summer and the pink& green combo go hand in hand for me. I embroidered white diagonal lines and then hand-quilted it with kelly green thread to allude to an argyle theme.
