Sometimes I think I am the only quilter who doesn't garden. I do spend two days a week at our all donation/volunteer library cultivating that collection. In three years we have grown to 10,000 items, and 670 borrowers. Patrons are good at bringing flowers for the desk, and offering homegrown remedies when I'm ill (let's not talk about the remedies...this is Northern California. I skipped being a hippie the first time..now I'm not brave enough to try new things.)
