I have been trying to transfer this amazing stitching pattern from Michelle Palmer. I dyed some fabric to dark. So I am doing this and stitching in ecru. But I plan on a tea dye, wish me luck!
It is a very blustery day. The acorns are falling, a hard hat is needed to walk across the yard. Still so lovely and warm, welcome fall.
I bought this bay plant a couple of years ago. I know they grow into trees or hedges but not in the north. It makes me so happy to pluck one or two off for cooking. Both of my other friends plants died on them. So I am very happy it is still going. Kora's face when we told her her family was back. I do miss her after she has been here.

I am off on my great adventure on Sunday. I will take lots of pictures.

I think she will miss you too!
That stitching project is going to be beautiful!
You made me laugh with your comment on the acorns - I can relate!
Enjoy your getaway and looking forward to seeing the photos as well!
I believe there is a Bay tree in my yard, or at least the leaves look like it. Will have to ask the arborist when he and his team finally get here to do the work of removing some trees. Looking forward to seeing your photos from the trip with your pals. Am especially looking forward to a certain design to be on your frame.
I didn't know they grew like that. Enjoy your getaway.
I think the latest piece that you plan on stitching is going to be beautiful.
I love that you have a mini bay leaf tree, I would have a very difficult time transfering a pattern. Enjoy your getaway-hugs
Sweet Kora ♥️🐾
Your Michelle project will be lovely.
Enjoy camp. Take LOTS of pics (which I always forget to do!).
Never tried growing a bay plant. is there a difference in flavoring for fresh v. dried bay leaves?
Have a fantastic time on your adventure! I just got you bookmarked so until Blogger figures itself out, I can find you! If you haven't been able to access Blogger reader (don't know if it's acting up all over the world or just here), please follow me by email -- you can sign up on the Marmelade Gypsy home page on the right rail. Thanks!
Kora is beautiful. Bet she is a sweetie too. Your little bay leaf tree is so pretty. Would love to see your stitching project when finished.
Aw Kora's face was so sweet. Sounds like a great idea for bay leaves in the North. Maybe I should try. Janice
Kora reminds so much of my granddog Eddie who's been gone for a long time now. We still miss that sweet face! I think you have a very green thumb! You're plants always seem to do very well inside or out! I love a good adventure so have a fun time and I'll look forward to the pics!
Hello friend!! I am popping in to say hello! It has been a while. Kora's face gave me a smile! Bless it.
Your Bay Leaf plant looks very healthy. My daughter has a large one growing in her house and she uses the leaves in cooking also.
Take care and stay clear of flying acorns.
Hugs, Julia
Late to the party, but wanted to tell you that as a quilter, I learned long ago not to tea dye fabric because tea is acidic. Use regular dyes.
Wishing you well!
I have a friend who loves tea, and she does this tea dying sometimes. It sounds like a creative project.
