I have been in Nova Scotia for a month and the only time I have had a needle in my hands was when I added a label and sleeve to a wonderful Lemoyne star quilt purchased during the trek east to Nova Scotia.
My flower gardens are finally looking better, after many hours of TLC.. The iris and peonies are finished and the wild daisies are super. My ladies mantle loves the soil here too. I purchased more perennials and another lilac. My yellow rose bush seems to love the cape John soil.. My containers will look better with a bit of sun and some heat. Temperature was down to 6 degrees last night Wonderful high tides with the full moon but air is too cool for even me to swim.
It has been a busy month installing two exhibits. The apron in Fort Point Le Harve comes down next week, July 15, and that is also the day I will be doing book signings and appraisal at the Museum of Industry in Stellarton. The Canada day opening was really well attended friends, relatives, neighbours and a few quilters all came to see a Century of Stars. The interpretitive staff even had star cookies for the kids to decorate and tea and oat cakes for the older folk. A few pictures are included here. and there was a good report on CTV that night.

The Strawberries are ripe and I have picked and made 3 batches of wild strawberry jam. This happens to be another of my passions. I am heading to the tame fields today. It is easier picking but not as tasty. Seems weird to be picking berries while wearing polar fleece. It used to be that I could sit in the fields in my Bikini but those days are long gone. Every year the body seems to get a bit stiffer and it's not easy work. Between berry picking and shoveling mulch on my garden I do not need to visit a Gym.
