Ahh-- IT IS ONE FLOWER WEDNESDAY--

But--
my flowers are just pretty petals right now--
did these while I did laundry down at the laundry room today--
my 'eyes' where too tired to stitch the petals right now--
so sooooon??????


And Pink Betty was a humming away again today--
Today I finally--
finally put these bom blocks together--
I did these blocks a couple years ago--
and they have waited patiently for me to put them all together--
I loved embroidering them and loved them when they were done--
and now I love them all over again and really really wonder why it took me so long to make them into a small quilt??????????
I used a jelly roll of Dogwood for the lattice--
only I had to cut them to 1 1/2" wide--!!!!!


Yesterday was my Anne's day here--
we did hand quilt for an hour,
then she took me grocery shopping--
so now Miss Gracie and I can 'hole' up in here and keep on working for while!!!!
And what is on the 'plan' for tomorrow??????
Hummmm--you will just have to 'tune' in to see!!!!!
OH-- and of course that lovely Miss Gracie!!!

Oooh pretty!! You can pretend you are a flower girl and throw petals around. I think I have 2 1/2 blocks left to do in VV's. Need to pull those out--I love it too.

Being able to hole up a while longer is a good thing! Oh that is a charming stitchery quilt for sure. Will be lovely on your wall for Spring.

Well I just can't wait to see what you will be up to next! I love it when you find something you did and set it aside and almost forgot about it - and when you pull it out you fall in love all over again! I'm excited for you!! Kiss Miss Gracie for me!

Hi, I just wanted to leave you a quick message to let you know I love your blog and especially this adorable embroidery work on this quilt. Thank you for sharing. Recently I have been really attracted to embroidery, I just finished a gift for a co-worker and plan to post it on my blog. Actually this isn't a quick message at all is it!!
