That "Dahlia" quilt I made all of five years ago, has sat waiting while I procrastinated over what to quilt on it.
The trouble was that I'd seen many, with very beautiful freehand feathers, flowers and stippling , which I knew that I couldn't even think, about let alone replicate, so it just sat there. Then lo and behold I've seen two with allover patterns and they still looked beautiful, so this is what I am doing. The pattern I've chosen came with my Statler and is Flower Swirl, by Designs by Deb. One row has been done and I just had to take a photo. (not very good, I'll have to get better with this new camera).

Just after lunch, I went out to rake some of the leaves, actually lots and I quickly took some photos out there too. On the weekend I will try and learn a bit more about my camera, as these aren't the best either, but here goes anyway.

There's such a lot to learn with DSLR's, I don't think I'll ever get my head around it, but I'll give it a go. I love your weeping cherry, such a lovely shape and gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteI love the weeping cherry - I can see a stylised version as an applique block.
ReplyDeleteThose bottle brush plants are fantastic! They really do look like bottle brushes. And such a vivid colour too. x
