Peas and Pimpernel
Trug liner
The Hittys are happy – the human finished quilting and binding the new trug-liner! Now they have a softer landing if they fall over during trug-rides…

Helpful Cat!
….of course Siyah thinks I made it specially for her…
.
.
Jaunty
…but she magnanimously allowed the Hittys to enjoy the hot summer morning trug-ride without her, and wandered off to lie under a bush!
.

Roses
Vanilla sniffed the sweet perfume in the air under the climbing rose as we went through the archway…
.
.
Snip
…to our neighbour’s garden (we water her plants and feed the chickens, and in return can harvest some of her produce). Coriander went for the peas…
.
.
Strawberries
…Vanilla picked the last few strawberries…
.
.
Pimpernel
…and delighted in the Scarlet Pimpernel for a while!
.

Harvest
Floradora organised the harvest for the trug-ride back to the Hitty cupboard!
.
.
Picnic Blanket
Then they all shared a delicious fresh summer picnic salad…

Picnic
…what a beautiful morning in Quimperland!

Quimper Hittys 
How lovely!!!
Thank you! We have been enjoying our time in the garden.
Everyone’s living their best life on your yard!
They are – Human, wooden and feline!
Totally lovely outing in the garden! I especially like that trug quilt; your HIttys are very well taken care of.
The Hittys say that every basket needs a nice quilt – the one you made for the Hittys is another favourite, and lives in our smaller square wicker basket, it’s a favourite!
How kind, thank you!
Their new quilt looks very cosy and perfect for summer fun!
It was satisfying to finish this particular scrap assemblage, and to put it to immediate use!
Have you ever thought about making a children’s book? I think you have a great concept for that.
I second the children’s book! Wonderful weather to be out in the garden picking and picnicing. Love the trug rug.
Thanks! We think trug-liners are useful things, and I am glad to think the Hittys won’t be bruised and scratched during their trug antics!
Such a surprisingly useful trug quilt. All the other trugs in the neighbourhood will be jealous now, let alone the dolls who ride in them. Love the binding you chose for this little quilt.
Basket-riding used to be the prime summer activity in our cupboard, but trug-riding is the new favourite – more dolls can fit in a trug! They all love the new quilt…the binding was from a local shop that carries wonderful fabrics, notions and haberdashery! I knew it was perfect.
What a beautiful morning indeed. The Hitty’s had a lovely outing, and how delightful that you have an exchange worked out with your neighbor.
Your trug liner turned out well, so it’s no surprise that kitty wants to settle in. In one of the photos it looks like the Hitty’s are on a boat ride.
Thank you for the wander through your day.
The Hittys wish the trug were seaworthy! But I am glad it isn’t as they might be tempted to drag it down to the beach and sail off into the sunset!
Well that wouldn’t do, would it? I’m glad it’s not seaworthy, yet there is plenty of fun to be had.
A very pretty trug liner and a lovely morning in the garden!
Thanks! We love the garden, and the trug is perfect with or without the liner (the Hittys prefer it “with”)
I am not surprised! Those wooden trugs have hard bottoms!
