Stitching Flowers


Today finds me working on some flower applique and really enjoying the process.  There is something very soothing about handwork, if you don't rush it.


I stepped out into the garden this morning and this day lily was there to greet me.  They have all just started blooming.  A couple of years ago I visited a local day lily farm and brought home some beauties. I wish the farm was still there so that you could see the fields of lilies, but the owner closed recently.


The daisies are in bloom.  I planted many of these in the garden as they are my Mother's favorite flower. These big ones make quite a show and are such a happy looking flower.


Peter Rabbit resides over all, just inside the garden gate.  I watched "Miss Potter" again over the weekend.  I can't help myself, I just love that movie!
