It's been a fruitful month; lots going on and plenty accomplished on the home front. These peaches from our own trees were as delicious and sweet as they look. The deer thought so too. We managed to harvest a few more than are pictured here but, sadly, not many. Everything was looking great out in the orchard. We checked on the peaches daily and watched them grow and ripen to perfection. I was

The summer flowering season continues, and the veranda pots have not been adversly affected by the heat. At least not yet. This lobelia is such an intense blue-purple, with the blooms cascading down the side of the ceramic pot. I love it.

The white begonia is so prolifically blooming, it has been going for weeks and weeks.

The darker leaf white begonias in the table pots are also happy.

The summer garden seems to be very late this year. By now I usually have a lot of tomatoes, but this year they are slow to ripen. It seems like these ...

Members of The Art of Home Club get brand new patterns and projects like these on the 20th of every month.

The theme this month is seaside cottages, perfect for summer decorating. Instead of making a quilt, I thought we’d keep things “cool” for the summer by making bed runners. It’s simply a long narrow quilt (like a table runner) that you can put ...

June temperatures have been warm but not hot, and a perfect time to enjoy a meal on the veranda. When Rita at Panoply asked me to be a part of her Summer Tablescapes blog hop, I thought it was a good time to pull out a few things I still have and put together a table for six outside. So come along, as I set a table for a Summer Garden Party.

My color scheme is based on the pattern in the salad plates, light pink with spring green and yellow.

Spring green chargers are set on white nylon placemats ...

First, let’s talk about this beautiful FREE wall hanging and hand embroidery pattern I am offering this week only! I’m calling this project, “Kind Words” — and don’t we all need MORE of that nowadays!? The quote on the heart says:

The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be ...

I missed wishing you all a Happy 4th of July, but, today, I'll wish you a happy July instead! Our flag was flying proudly yesterday, as always, and we're keeping busy as these days grow increasingly warmer. The potted flowers in front have never been prettier than this year, I can't take any credit, all I did was set them into the pots. Recently, we've had additional heartbreak where our nesting

Are you ready for Summer? Summer means the beach, and cook-outs, and for many of my friends, that means Lobster! If you

The post Lobster Quilt Block appeared first on Always Expect Moore.

I know, it’s only the beginning of June and it’s not technically summer, but my kiddos finished their last week of school (eek!) and soon it will be all me and them for the summer. Negotiations have begun for what we are going to do. I’m not a mom who is “extra” but things go better if we have activities to do. In the past I have set up my own summer camps with a theme and activities and sometimes they worked great and sometimes they were a bust, but there have been a couple of summers ...

Yesterday, we released Collection #57, Farmers Market, to our Club members!

This pattern contains instructions to make a quilt, pillow, and a set of place mats! There are EIGHT applique choices and NINE hand embroidery designs, so there are LOTS of mix & match options! I had a lot of fun sketching out the applique and embroidery patterns- my personal favorites are the Farm Fresh sign and the radishes! Imagine how cute a set of place mats will be with these designs!

The quilt has a repetitive design which reminds me of plaid and a basketweave, which have that classic farm ...
