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.
