What I Did On My Summer Vacation Give-Away...

I'm not sure what this pattern is called... I think its a zig zaggy thing... maybe a cheery chevron in Kashmir (te he he). Anywho, here is a little table runner I started this weekend with some half square triangles made from a ... ta da,Kashmir IV charm pack by Sentimental Studios for Moda... when I started I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them... I'd done pinwheels... needed something new... sew, I mean so, this is what I came up with. My son, Zach, gave it two thumbs up... He likes the paisley prints especially. Who'da thunk it? You never know with my boys.

ps... Natalie help me out here. Didn't you make a quilt with a similar pattern to this. I would swear... not really... anyway I sure thought that's where I saw it. You know me... no pattern necessary as long as I've seen something similar... so, did you or didn't you? hmmmm?
Oh, I know I posted about this earlier... but I am so happy with my little back porch garden. And it is something else I did over the weekend. This is a nice shot of our little back yard oasis... The pictures I posted earlier were taken at night... so I shot a few the other morning. I love my little backyard pond. So do the dogs. They like to play king of the mountain on the rock pile... silly little things. I'll have to try to get a shot of them later... oh well, off to bed I go... 5 am will be here before I know it.
As for the title... tell me what you did over the weekend... kinda like the first week of school as a child when we had to write the dreaded report... What I Did on My Summer Vacation... ok, now it's your turn...

Ps... Did I mention "Give-Away?" What? No! you say. Comment to enter... post about and then comment again to let me know for two extra chances. A chicken wire planter or the table runner above (upon completion) will be the prize of choice, the planter will be minus dirt and flowers... it would be rather messy to ship... ps... Make sure I have a way to contact you.

I will draw one lucky winner on Saturday, June 6th @ 10:30 p.m. CST... hurry up and get entered.
