The “medium gray” fabric won on the tierneycreates.com/blog reader poll on which gray fabric I should use to bind the scrap quilt that it took me a year to hand quilt (“Seattle Scrappy”). Making the binding now to sew down on the quilt!

Well our unusually wet spring/summer in Denver has led to me being able to harvest enough basil for the first time to actually make pesto! Usually I can only grow enough basil to add to dishes but now I have a bounty! It’s not quite like when I lived in Seattle and had enough herbs and vegetables from my backyard to open a farmstand ha ha but for my little patio garden in Denver I am pleased🪴

The cattails are high in the marsh on my daily walks…

Another fun moment from my recent visit to New York City while visiting my brother and his family: having soft serve ice cream from an ice cream truck outside of Central Park. Oh my goodness it was crazy yummy.

The naughtiest thing I ever ate: crab nachos… With fresh crab…only on the East Coast (maybe because I’m originally from the East Coast but I have to say the East Coast of the US has the best friggin food)! While visiting my brother and his family I had some delicious food! (Embarrassing moment: I convinced him to order us another serving, after inhaling the first, and then got a tummy ache afterwards). Oh the Santa Fe Grill is not in Santa Fe it’s in University of Delaware campus area!

Okay, enough with the “tierneytravels”, it’s time to get back to “tierneycreates”! I just finished hand quilting/stitching “Seattle Scrappy” made from scraps given to me by @chambersdalix 😀. I’m ready to bind it and need help selecting which gray fabric to use. If you’d like to weigh in please vote on the poll on my latest tierneycreates.com/blog post 😀 (link in bio) - “Help Me Pick the Binding…”. #quilts #quiltingismytherapy #quiltsofinstagram #scrapquilting #improvquilting #scrapquiltsarethebest

Playing with the Prisma app photo editing software. Oh my goodness I love my dog Mike so much, with my whole heart. I am so grateful to my late husband Terry for a convincing me to adopt Mike from rescue when he was basically “unadoptable” due to serious behavior issues. Now he’s one of the greatest dog loves of my life! #miniatureschnauzer

Very cool fiber art at the Philadelphia airport! (There was more…the whole terminal A is like an art gallery, but I was running late for my flight in terminal E which seemed like mile away)

Happened upon open air salsa in the midst of Central Park.

Haven’t been to New York City in so long so strange to be right at Central Park. Visiting my brother and his family on East Coast and we went to New York City for the day to meet with one of his clients for lunch.

A “T” cup! With tea ☕️! Yes I am easily amused these days. I found this cup at a thrift store a couple months ago and I just got a kick out of that the first initial of my name is T and I love tea and it’s a “T” cup! Having breakfast on the upstairs deck and reading one of my library books.

Oh my goodness I just bought the most beautiful sheet of postal stamps from the post office - “Sun Science” - I don’t know whether to use them or to frame them.

Hmmm…Mike the Miniature Schnauzer getting very spoiled after 5 days at the dog babysitter’s…I wonder if he’ll come home with me when I pick him up this afternoon…

Mike the Miniature Schnauzer has a status update to: “in a relationship” and her name is Coco ( “what happens at the dog babysitter’s house, stays at the babysitter’s house” 🤣).

One of the sweet things in life is a little Free Library box in a neighborhood where neighbors do book 📚 exchanges.

Mike the Miniature Schnauzer just finished his latest guest blog post on the tierneycreates blog. #minitureschnauzer

I’ve been playing with this cool app called Prisma - after and before photos using one of the app’s filters

Tierneycreates Beastie working on her next blog post. #tierneycreates #crawcraftsbeasties

How appropriate: while I was leaving the Denver Quilt Craft and Sewing 🧵 Festival at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds I noticed in the parking lot they had a collection of giant spools!
