The 1905 cookbook by Judy Howard

"A Taste of Summer"

 Used free-form piecing and cutting to make the quilt learned from a technique by UK art quilter Alicia Merrett

The watermelon my favorite fruit of summer

                                  Back of quilt and Artistment Statement.

This is what I said. "As summer nears I start drooling for the watermelon my favorite fruit of summer. I remember the wagonloads of watermelons my Grandfather took to the farmers market and the lessons he taught us grandkids on how to pick a good one. I hope this quilt makes you smile and remember the farmers who toll to bring us good Food for Body and Soul".

Granddad passed long ago but I think this quilt would bring a smile to his face. I wonder what he would think about the seedless watermelon today?  I prefer a watermelon with seeds. It's something about seeing the seeds in the meat of the melon that makes me think I am eating the real thing!

Peace, love and art,
