Our Magnolia has flowered out!!
I love the color variations in each bloom...
The deer came last night for dessert
and ate the lowest blossoms
scattering the petals
beneath....
And,
My Bleeding Hearts
are about to come into flower
The original two plants were a gift
from a friend and now
have spread all around my
hydrangea...
they are just so delicate and lovely...
and Hydrangea has finally
come into the bud stage...
We had cut it back a lot last Fall
Here are some of the dried flower heads
from last year:
This is my Friendship Star (which is our prompt for April) with the
They are on my Grand-mere's antique
pie plate...in front of our fireplace...
Just lovely dusty rose colors...
I am looking forward to culling more
blooms from this year's crop;)))
***************************
Here is my finished and quilted
April Dark Days block
I stitched around all the star points and
then did kantha running stitches in
the darker borders keeping the
threads on the darker side...
I didn't add anything else on the border sections
[ K3N suggested in her this week's prompt to
add star constellations...]
as I felt this cloth was busy enough and I also
wanted to keep that "darker" feel...
hourglass center representing long time friends...
As you can see everything is "big stitched"...
And this is where it will be attached to
the first 3 sections...
I hope your weekend will be a wonderful one...
Hugs, Julierose,
