Here's my progress on Schoolroom Sampling's "Farmer Brown". I've actually stitching quite a bit more since I took this photo. I think I might even manage to finish it sometime this week.
We'll pretend that in September Farmer Brown is working in his dahlia patch because that makes a nice segue to:
This last weekend the Lane County Dahlia Society held their 49th Annual Dahlia Show at the Lane County Events Center. As my sister is president of the organization, I stopped by to see the displays.
There were dahlias to the left...
...and dahlias to the right!
And dahlias straight ahead!
Three AA-sized blooms
Three Orchid style blooms
'Basket of the Show' (left)
Best Basket of A-sized or AA-sized dahlias
Seven perfect blooms of 'Nick Sr.'
A-sized semi-cactus dahlia entries
Triple of 'Alfred Grille'
So many pretty blooms!

Oh I just love dahlias Beth. I have never had such a sad season of dahlias in my life. I have had hardly any blooms on any of them. And they are of different types and different locations!?!
I always surprised at the number of different dahlias there are.
Wishing you a good week ahead.
What a delightful mix of dahlias, they are just stunning.

You always pick such cute pieces, Beth--love Farmer Brown... And, oh, those dahlias are amazing--mine look nothing like those (unfortunately!)...
Farmer Brown is looking great!
I can't grow Dahlias for the life of me, but I sure love looking at their blooms. I wish we'd have a show like that around here.
Thank you so much for sharing all the great dahlia photos, Beth--they are gorgeous!
