Flowers and Fabric.....

Is there anything better to get our attention than those 2 words?? Here's 3 of the 5 iris we have in the garden. There's a bronze not photographed and next year there'll be a white from my quilty friend Liz...
Thanks Liz, can't wait!
Six fat quarters for $11---woo hoo! Went to the Ann Arbor Sewing Center on Sunday with our DSIL's mom Christy. She's a sewer and a new quilter (and she's already Really good!) We had a fun day together. Here's another bargain:


Eric Carle's Grouchy Ladybug (have I mentioned my upcoming 'Grandma' title this November?? :-)
AND a wee bit of Anna Marie Horner's Innocent Crush...both found in their big sale section!!

OK--will end this post with the latest of 3 orchids blooming in our North facing familyroom window...

There's THREE stalks with buds on them and this one's color/markings is such a Wow!! statement when I see it...(more photos to follow when the rest of the buds open up!!)
Have a happy week, gardening and sewing I hope........  :-)

I love Iris but have never had luck with them. I love their earthy soft scent in the sun.
Your fabrics are great and only 11!! great deal

You have such a green thumb with your flowers!! My orchid has leaves but no stalks or buds. Time for your magic touch!! You also find the best fabrics!!
