Meilland roses

My friend Lucienne , who is also member os our garden club, bought some beautiful Meilland roses.
Here is the gorgeous 'le petit prince'.   The color is a subtile mauve, very extraordinary for a rose, the scent a fresh light citron.

You could buy Meilland roses all over the world.....

Tomorrow more roses.

On the line

Today I washed all my 30er years fabric.

There are 60!!! different prints

I will make a quilt with the fabric for this lovely baby, here name is Kalle.

And guess what i'll be doing this afternoon...... Yes i think there shall be a lot of ironing to do!

Roses from my garden

After a period with a lot of rain in july the roses are again in full bloom so are some flowers in my garden.

I collected some flowers for bouquets. Aren't my roses gorgeous?

Pelargonium varieties

This year we had a very hot april and may, so the garden was already dry and faded in june. Because I need to have flowers around the house I ordered some pelargoniums.  Even when summer is hot, they stay healthy and are always blooming.

Yesterday i made some cuttings. In winter the pelargoniums are in the cave and only watered twice or three times. There is always a risk to loose some so i want to have cuttings.
If you want some cuttings, I love to send them to you.

What I bought in Holland

When I was in Holland I visited this quiltshop. My friend Dorien works in the shop , so I could met her and at the same time buy fabric. Because you already know, I presume, that a quilter never has enough fabric!

I also bought two doll quilt patterns:

I'll make this one with French General fabric from Moda. 

I also bought some beautiful Indonesian batik fabric . For me and also for a GIVEAWAY!!! 

The fabric was to heavy to put in my backpack so no pictures yet!

Unbelievable

It's harvest time and there are so many apples, really unbelievable..... Yesterday we went to make apple juice , we came home with 131 bottles of one liter, all pasteurized!!! ( there are about 130 liters left from last year)  And today I picked another two wheelbarrows full with apples.

And there still are so many in the trees. I wish you all were nearer by so you could come for some juice and apples......

Living in the French countryside is so GREAT.
