From My Front Porch

...I get to enjoy this beautiful bougainvillaea...

I have seen a lot of these in my years, in Florida and in different parts of the country and I've never seen one as beautiful as this one is.

The flowers are huge hot pink with a touch of orange
...absolutely breathtaking.  I thanked my neighbors for planting this just for me...LOL!

I've had a crazy week...laptop went in for dejunking, it had slowed way down and they got it all cleaned up and it's running like a dream again...I sure did miss it...I love my IPad, but it sure is easier typing on my laptop...been doing some cleaning, the heavy stuff that I've ignored for way too long...we have some friends coming for a visit in November so I have to get this place in order...isn't that what we do...

But in the craziness I did get the binding on this fun little Boo Crew quilt for my kitchen table...
...and yes that's Mr. Brown Quilts basket of "after lunch treats"...The pattern is California Dreaming by Little Louise Designs...it's a great pattern, quick and easy, you can really see the fabrics

and she gives cutting directions from crib/throw to king...this one is the crib/throw and is 48" square...perfect for my kitchen table.

Off to finish something before this day disappears...Happy Sunday!

Better it's theirs than yours! Those things have thorns! My arms looked like I had been in a cat fight the first time I trimmed one!

Melanie said...

Darling quilted piece. Looks like 'home'.

What a nice tree! I don't think I've seen that color in my neck of the FL woods.

The flowers are very pretty. I didn't care for them when we had a pool. LOL

Your Boo Crew table topper is fabulous.

I love those flowers. We don't have them here at all.
Cute quilt! I've just started using some of my quilts on my table. I really like it.

What beautiful flowers. I love the colours, and couldn't help thinking a quilt in pink, orange and green would look great - then I realised that I have actually started one in pink, orange and white!
