Spring Binding and a Little Rhubarb

Diamond Dust
is back from Roberta and ready to be trimmed and bound. I'm thinking that I'll use the same mauve as that gorgeous floral border.

It's quilted with Pergola again and the texture of this panto is to die for...

the perfect foil against all those tiny squares. A little bit of hand stitching is a relaxing way to enjoy the weekend.
It's the May long weekend and, just like clockwork, my rhubarb is ready, so I've been taking full advantage of this seasonal treat. We enjoyed a visit with a cousin that I haven't seen for more years than I care to admit, so it seemed only fitting to make that the reason for the season's first Rhubarb Torte.
There weren't any leftovers so the next day I whipped up a Lemon Rhubarb Bundt Cake, which I haven't made in a while, and we have been savouring that for the last few days. There's still a  Rhubarb Scone recipe that I'd like to try. Who am I kidding? It's a bumper crop this year so there's a looong list of treats to be tested. It's a rough life 😉....M

Mmmm, rhubarb scones, that sounds interesting. We have rhubarb growing here too, and often just have it cooked, sometimes with apple added, with our breakfast cereal.

Please post a photo of your quilt when it done, so we can see it all together! The quilting is gorgeous! The rhubarb is fantastic this year … and, I’ve already made your Rhubarb Buttermilk cake twice. It’s always a hit!
