Our Yard -- More Blooms

I think this is called bridals wreath, that is what my grandmother called it:)

I had to include my beautiful red maple......

I caught this little bird on the bench at the pond.  He looks so cute --he looks so innocent ...........he's not.  He left a little "present" behind.

This is our hawthorn tree- a picture doesn't do it justice.

and................My wisteria bush.  First it was my grandmother's, then my mother's, now it is mine.  It is not only beautiful, but it means so much to me.  Sweet memories.

Well that's it for this week -- Next week the azaleas should be blooming:)

One Flower Wednesday - Slow, but Steady Progress

My flower garden is steadily growing.  I still haven't made up my mind, but I think I'm leaning towards making a wall hanging -- five rows with five flowers in each row.  I think I'd like to use half flowers to even up the sides for binding.........  well maybe four and one half flowers in each row. 

I've been working in my real flower garden (yard) lately.  Check out my post tomorrow for my "other"  latest blooms:)

Our Yard -- New Blooms

This is one of the islands in our yard.  The forsythia is finished blooming, but the lilacs and dogwood are just opening up.

Beautiful Tulips

My gorgeous Redbud tree. (another gift from my son, Glenn)

This is a lovely little bunch of violets that "volunteered" to be in my garden.

Some blooming Periwinkle.

I'm not sure what this bush is but it gets vibrant red flowers in the spring. 

Well that's it for now -- I love my yard:)  If you post pictures of your yard, let me know.  I'd like to visit.

Oh, Boy, I'm Lucky!!

Today I got a special package in the mail!!  I have to send out a big thanks to Vickie at Sugar Spun Quilts.  Vickie generously shared some of he Denyse Schmidt fabric stash with two lucky readers and I was one of them.  Wow, I can't believe I won.  Check out my beautiful new fabric:)


I'm not sure what I'm going to make with this bounty -- I'll keep you posted.

One Flower Wednesday --

I really did work on my project this week, though you have to look close to see it. I added two flowers and and a bit more than a dozen stepping stones. There is a small section that isn't attached all the way. It is actually starting to look like something. I am seriously thinking of making a wall hanging -- not so large as an actual quilt. (Or...... Maybe a baby quilt.) What do you think? Let me know.

My First Turorial and Free Pattern: COMINIG SOON

One Flower Wednesday - Check Out My Progress!!

I really don't have much to say, but I like to show what I do each week.  It keeps me working when I am held somewhat accountable.  These are my connected flowers.  I think they are looking fine.

Last Week

This Week

This is my flower of the week.  The color is a vibrant orange,  the picture doesn't do it justice!!

Please leave a comment.  I have to admit I'm addicted to kind comments.
