Sewing and Planting............

The natural progression from the last post about fabric and flowers!! Been busy--but I need to get a LOT busier..!
Hard to believe I've been making these little by little since almost this time last year. About 1/3 the way through the 111 blocks. (a LOT busier ;-)
This funny little thing is a dahlia bulb given to all the guests at a recent bridal shower...

They were wrapped so sweetly in tissue paper, tied with pretty ribbon, and put at each of our places at the tables. The bride and her maids will be carrying dahlias in their bouquets for her July wedding. Thought this was one clever idea!!
Enjoy this long weekend. Remember to say thankyou to someone who's served our country. And remember those who aren't here to thank........
Time to put the sprinklers back on...!

Lovely little blocks - how large are they? 6.5? What a great idea for a bridal shower and what pretty tissue paper wrapping!! BTW, lovely quilting below the tissue paper gift!!!!! Enjoy your weekend - time to harvest my weeds.

I love your blocks. Great fabric and color choices. I always find it interesting to see which fabrics people choose to combine and I'm delighted when I'm totally surprised.
