Our community holds the title of "Corn Capital". We have been enjoying local corn since the beginning of July. I take it for granted that we will have an endless supply of fresh corn, picked daily throughout the summer. We even have the convenience of a corn barn drive through. You don't even need to get out of your vehicle to purchase fresh corn for supper!
Believe it or not, I have a corn quilt. I made this table runner in 2002 for the Fall Fair and Corn Festival quilt challenge. We were supposed to make a quilt that featured the theme colours of the fair --yellow and green.
My piece placed second. I love this table runner. It lives in my living room on top of the piano. When I look at it, I am reminded of corn in summer....yum-yum!
This is a rare quilt picture--it has me in it. Usually I am behind the camera with my helpers holding the quilts. The photographer this time was my daughter, Dana.
NEAT! I love the photo of the runner with the corn in the background. :o) but the corn drive thru is THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteI like that table runner! :)
ReplyDeleteA CORN DRIVE THRU! How cool is that. LOL! I love fresh corn and have missed it since I moved here and don't really have room to plant corn.
ReplyDeleteI like the table runner too. It really does look like corn. :-)
What I would do for a corn drive through! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou're adorable! A great picture of you with your corn quilt!
ReplyDeleteI chuckled at the drive-thru for corn! Miss the small community things like that!
(Hugs)
Nice table runner!
ReplyDeleteNow you're making me think I need to stop by the local produce market on the way home from work today to get some fresh corn... :)
AH, you are making me hungry as well as a little homesick. If I were in IL, I would be at the Corn Festival about this time of year--10 cents an ear and cooked on a steam locomotive. YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteNeat green and yellow table runner, Norma.
That is a great corn-y table runner for the top of your piano. And the corn drive thru - that paint job is just too funny!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Your tablerunner is so great. Definitely looks like corn. :-)
ReplyDeleteA corn drive through - I love it and I'm jealous! Fresh corn - yum!
your table runner really does invoke the sense the of corn on the cob.... A little less salty and greasy maybe than I make mine, but corn on the cob nonetheless :-)
ReplyDeleteCorn on the cob drive thru - I love it! Corn on the cob in the summer is one of the best foods. I like your table runner it does remind me of a corn field.
ReplyDeleteThe runner is just great. It does remind me of an ear of corn just peeking from it's husk. And a Corn Drive-Thru -- what will they think of next? If there was one nearby, I'm sure I would be a regular.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great picture of you and the runner. But now I want some corn! We've had very little. No rain - crop short and dying.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it..a Corn Drive Thru!! I would be there every day. I love the taste of freshly cooked corn cob with butter all over it:-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo of you with your table runner.
Well, isn't that the most adorable table runner ever! Love it. And, darn it, now I want some corn-on-the-cob slathered in butter!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are great pictures! A Corn Drive-through -- wow!!! The runner is wonderful, and I'm smiling at seeing you holding it.
ReplyDeleteJeanne :)
Love the drive though corn barn! Sure wish there was one of them around here. Your corn table runner is perfect! (It's a good picture of you too!)
ReplyDeleteYour corn themed table runner is just lovely, and it's nice to see you there :-) I would love a corn drive thru, we love corn on the cob in this house, and it can be soooo expensive!
