Manito Park and Botanical Gardens – Part 2

“There is a little plant called reverence in the corner of my soul’s garden, which I love to have watered once a week.”- Oliver Wendell Holmes

I am at the Phoenix airport and have some time, so I can edit more photos.  By the time you see this post, my Hubby, myself and my Mom should be on the road.  We’ll be driving back to Spokane (moving Mom), so I don’t know that I’ll have another opportunity to post for a few days.

Enjoy these photos from yesterday’s visit to the Japanese Garden at Manito Park.

Electric Quilt Symmetries

I know many of you Electric Quilt users know all about the Image/Symmetries tools, but I am now discovering them.

And oh what fun it is!

Upload an image to EQ7.  Edit it to the Image Worktable.  Click Image>Apply Symmetries>Circular (or Square).

Choose a petal shape and size and have fun!

Print templates to fussy cut and create beautiful kaleidoscope blocks.  Or print your new design onto fabric and create pillows, totes, and so much more. 

You can create so many wonderful projects with EQ7!

Clorox and a Few Blooms

I’m cleaning house…preparing for company.

I thought you’d like to know what I learned today.

This is my t-shirt.  Maybe you know this already, but never, ever lean on a surface that you have just cleaned with a Clorox wipe.

Just common sense right?  Sometimes I don’t have any.

Hubby and I are weeding.  Little by little.  But there are gems out in the garden.

Like the unharvested rhubarb.  The blooms are lacey and pretty.

The new addition to the garden…a lovely azalea.  She was rescued from a garbage can. 

The prolific and cheerful Miss Marguerite Daisy!

And the stately iris are beginning to show off.  I love having them standing at attention in the veggie garden!
