“The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor.”
Proverbs 15:33
It seems that we just began summer and so soon it will be gone! Everything Autumn is popping up all over blogland and in stores. I have a slight nod to fall in today’s tablescape set in the garden with sunflowers taking center stage. Joining the sunflowers is a patchwork tablecloth my sweet Mother made for me soon after I got married. You are invited to pull up a chair for “patchwork and sunflowers”!!
The setting was quick and easy with the patchwork tablecloth and sunflowers being the stars!
The sunflower blooms were so heavy that I had to place each bloom in a bottle to prevent them from toppling over!
The patchwork cloth has a pretty eyelet edging!
A backdrop of grasses and tall sunflowers!
Mikasa “fruit rapture” salad plates top everyday white plates, with yellow linen napkins…green placemats add texture.
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
Proverbs 25:11

Deliciosa mesa…Me gusta mucho el patchtwork y alabo la paciencia de ir cosiendo trocito a trocito, es una labor increíble y la mesa se ve muy bonita.
El otoño por estas tierras nuestras todavía le queda bastantes fechas del calendario. El otoño suele empezar a mediados del mes de octubre. Septiembre suele ser un mes todavía bastante caluroso. Claro está que esto es en la región donde yo vivo, si nos vamos hacia el norte ahí ni en el propio verano hace calor. El norte de España es gemelo con las Islas Británicas.
Al fin puedo comentar!!

Pretty!
Thank you, Rita! Have a wonder-filled Tuesday!
Just lovely. Those gorgeous sunflowers on the table plus the ones in the background, make such a happy setting.
I do love your treasured tablecloth. I am sure it could tell many stories. .
Enjoy these last days of summer, have a great week!
Thank you so much, Sandra! I am enjoying the last days of summer, but look forward to autumn!
Your table cloth is beautiful with the sunflowers! The eyelet edge gives everything a true country feel. And, then the plates top it all off perfectly. Happy Tuesday! 🙂
I love your patchwork tablecloth made by your Mother. Looks like it was made for these sunflowers. Your backdrop is simply beautiful. Yes, I have started fall decorating but not a lot. I find I have to get a little head start so I can go to the pumpkin patch and apple orchards. I love fall. I am lifting up a special prayer today that all is well with you and yours. Thank you for this blog friendship. It is a blessing in my life. Dianne
What a special quilt your mother made. It looks beautiful as do your gorgeous huge sunflowers. I know you are pleased after all the problems you had with the weather. Your table is charming.
Hope everything is ok with you. I’ve been away celebrating our anniversary. Discovered I could get coverage outside the cabin as we were leaving!
Bonnie, I hope your trip was great! I need to call you in a week or so!
The quilt is so perfect with your sunflowers in the vintage box! Perfect for your garden setting too, just gorgeous Pam! I can’t get enough sunflowers lately, and was so disappointed I couldn’t find any to bring home from Publix yesterday, you are so lucky to have them right in your own backyard ?
Jenna
Thanks so much, Jenna! My sunflower blooms are humongous this year!??
Though summer in Maine will unofficially be over in less than two weeks, I can’t let go of it yet. Sunflowers are a gift and they are in full bloom here just as they appear to be at your place. They make for a happy table.
Sunflowers give a huge bang for a small packet of seeds!
I sure wish that I could pull up a chair and visit you while gazing upon those beautiful sunflowers. Getting ready to plant some fall sunflowers soon. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy! I would love for you to pull up chair, I bet we could talk for hours! Blessings!
This reminds me so much of a garden party our church did years ago. We used quilts and sunflowers and everyone was charmed! Your version is so fresh and happy! Anything would taste good at that table!
Leslie Anne, thank you! What a fun idea your church had! I might have to use that at my church!
I was really motivated to jump into fall decor a couple of weeks ago, but I have slowed down a little bit, trying to treasure the last of summertime. The sunflowers and the patchwork tablecloth from your mother are a perfect combination. For me, the entire tablescape whispers, “homespun”. Your garden is always such a lovely setting for your tablescapes.
Thanks Chloe, I like the description “homespun”!
Oh that patchwork quilt is certainly something so very special and the star of the show on the table and the garden. I am sure you have so many wonderful memories as you sit at the table enjoying the handiwork of your precious mother.
Thanks Shirley…yes, I have beautiful memories!
Your table is simple lovely, every single thing about it is delightful . . . what a sweet spot for a summer dinner 🙂
Thank you, Connie! We love our little spot in the garden!
Just adorable! Sweet tablecloth and gorgeous sunflowers.Lovely tablescape!
Thanks Maristella! Hugs
Pam, your sunflowers and patchwork are a wonderful combination… and such a dressed up homey country look. Very nice tablescape and garden meal setting. 🙂
Thanks so much, Joy!
I love patchwork on tables. It takes me back to my youth … we’d take an old patchwork quilt to the park and have a picnic. Thanks for the memories and love those sunflowers! Happy Thursday!
Thanks so much, Snap! Happy weekend!
Wow, that is seriously gorgeous! I could sit there all day, chat and sip lemonade. Saw this on TFT!
Thanks for visiting, Cindy!
Hi, Pam. Visiting for the first time. Just wanted to say hello, love the HUGE sunflowers, and the surroundings are exquisite! I’m not ready for fall just yet, but this table is a great transition piece.
This is such a sweet table and of course LOVE the sunflowers.

Thanks Carolyn!
What a cheerful and inviting looking table!
Thank you Roseann!
What a lovely place to have breakfast or lunch!
Beautiful table, I love your setting with such a display of flowering trees, shrubs and bushes. I know your patch work tablecloth is a treasure from your mom.
Your mother made a beautiful quilt. Was it done by hand? My mom made a beautiful quilt when she was young and I have it now and treasure it. Hubby’s mother made them too.
Yes, my mother made it by hand. I have at least 15 quilts that she made…treasured memories for sure!
Wow, she stayed busy.
Beautiful table! Shared it for ya on G+ and FB. Have a good week!
Thanks so much Christine!
Love the patchwork. The yellow blocks set off those sunflowers so perfectly (or maybe the other way around!) Such a happy table!
Thank you Jeanie!
Your tablecloth is a quilter’s dream. Any details you share will be appreciated!
Sunflowers and a quilted tablecloth, all my favorites.
Nan, you are so kind and thank you for visiting! The cloth has such wonderful memories of my precious Mom who passed away ten years ago. She was an excellent crafter and quilting was her favorite. I have many treasures that she made!
Pam I have to admit I am a sunflower girl and I like the way you used the bottles to hold those heavy stems! How clever! I must remember that. Lovely quilt and the setting is perfect. I miss my Mom too…she has been gone about 16 years now and I miss her every day!
Kari, thanks so much. Missing our moms is always difficult. My Mom made everyday special! Blessings~
These are the largest sunflower blooms that I’ve ever seen! They are so pretty on this table and especially with your treasured quilt. Thank you for sharing with us at Celebrate Your Story, and have a great weekend.
Thanks Sandra, wishing you a great weekend!
