Welcome to my day in the Perfect Picnic Blog Hop!
for the wonderful Picnic idea and to
for the beautiful laminate they provided,
for the awesome inspiration,
For my Perfect Picnic,
I made this fun quilt
using Allison Designs's Patch-No-Work! pattern
in black & white with a little touch of red!
Of course, I had to have a little applique!
So I used my favorite tool,
the Silhouette Cameo,
and cut out our initials
to make these little pillows for our picnic...
I loved working with the beautiful
red & white polka dot laminate Riley Blake provided
and created a liner to go under my quilt
to keep it clean and dry!
Sewing the laminate was made easier with
my Bernina Teflon foot!
These great tarp/canopy clips with tent pegs
held the four corners of the liner down.
Hubby and I had a wonderful picnic on the grounds
of Rosedown Plantation in St. Francisville, LA...
...even the local wild life came out to greet us!
There were several antique quilts
on display at the house
and a sewing machine from the 1800s
The flowers were beautiful...
...a few favorites.
For our picnic,
I made a Crawfish Casserole,
Mexican Cornbread,
and a Broccoli Salad...
...we finished off our meal with
watermelon and Three-Story Dream Pie...
... with a cherry on top,
played Mancala,
and read Nicholas Sparks' The Notebook...
We had a wonderful time!
