Life really can be a picnic!

Everyone loves a picnic! This blog is about some of the things I love the most, and the term "picnic" just about covers them all. First of all, a picnic has to include food; simple food that is easy to fix. Next, you need someplace fun or different to visit; a nice, peaceful location. And of course, you always need to take along a good book to read and a well-used quilt to spread everything out on. So, there you have it! Easy recipes, good books, fun quilts along with some interesting, down-to-earth places to visit. You can even take your family or a friend or two if you want.

Our book club read the book The Help last year.  It was a great read with detailed character development and quite the page turner.  Tonight we are all going together to see the movie.  Fun!  I've heard it's just as good as the book.


I have been obsessed for quite a few months making these cute quilted table toppers.  I've made one for every month of the year.  The original pattern is from Anka's Treasures.  The book is called "On the Run".    This is what my August topper looks like.  The nice thing about this pattern is you can take the general instructions and use your creativity to make the finished project just how you want it to look.
