Thinking of summer...

That is what Jan asked us to do in the Bee a Brit Stingy Bee!  So here is my summer thinking...

 Lighthouses, elephants in the zoo, lavender blooming, sandy beaches, strawberry ice cream, mown grass, daisy chains, red sundresses, sandy beaches, trips to Paris, lots of sewing, birds, typing postcards and portholes!


Making this Road to Tennessee block ....






And stitched together...
Now just got to make another one!

What are your thoughts of summer?

    Right! my thoughts of summer are will we ever see it? So much snow it's hard to picture green everywhere. Lovely block.

    I won't share my ideas about summer (here) as they are too depressing - I like yours though! Lovely lozenges :)
