I don't think I'd have the stamina! Any nine-patches I ever made were wall-size or smaller, and machine-pieced. But I agree that hand sewing is very relaxing. Your quilt looks lovely, with wonderful colour movement.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the comment on my blog - I'm turning into a very minor botany geek myself as I research all these wildflowers, painfully learning a bit more each year. Your tentative identification of my little white mystery flower was very helpful - it led me from pearlwort to sandwort (both Caryophyllaceae). Now I think the flower may be Stiff Sandwort (Arenaria stricta michx, or Minuartia michauxii):<br />http://www.thismia.com/A/Arenaria_stricta.html<br /><br />AND while researching this I found an ID for another flower spotted back in June. So a double thank you! :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494392160560996572.post-28957272419654518952015-07-27T13:40:06.573-07:002015-07-27T13:40:06.573-07:00Hi Carol,

Good luck with your pea crop; I think one of the joys of growing food that is every year is an adventure as you find out what's going to be that years winners. This year is definitely a learning yea! :-)Curvywitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352226602384896843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494392160560996572.post-22864659319318374772015-07-25T04:40:37.611-07:002015-07-25T04:40:37.611-07:00Oh!

Your quilt is beautiful and if my Grandmother seen it she would say,"you do such fine work my dear!"<br />Our garden is behind this year so no peas yet but I think we will have a bumper crop again this year.I love peas! Gardening is such a surprise each year, you never know what is going to do good and what won't. I find each year is so different.<br />Happy Quilting!<br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645417159193407561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494392160560996572.post-89809826399400172142015-07-24T15:37:47.089-07:002015-07-24T15:37:47.089-07:00Ah sisters!

Thank you oh woman whose knitting is worn with pride by myself and Jean-Luc and which garners compliments aplenty - unlike mine.
