Spring flowers – purple flowers!

  By

I really enjoy this time of the year for multiple reasons, and one of them is because of all the flowers that are blooming.  I am having a treat this year because of some flowers blooming in my yard that haven’t been there before.

This flower is really filling in a natural area.  I don’t know where it came from – birds probably dropped seeds.  Its too pretty to be a wild flower.  The blooms are 7 to 8 inches tall.  Whatever the reason, I love looking out at them from my deck and kitchen window.

This wild violet is also scattered through the same area.  They are so pretty and delicate but don’t make the splash from the distance that the first flower does.  Purple is one of my top favorite colors for flowers.

I’m hoping you are having a week of pretty blooms!

Award winning quilt eye candy

  By ,

I want to show you this fabulous quilt from Leona Harden and her original pattern.  It won Best of Show Wall in The Smoky Mountain Quilters of Knoxville TN quilt show last month.

I just love this quilt and all the detail that Leona put in it. Its easy to see why it won.

Leona is an amazing quilter.  She has only been quilting for 3 years and started off winning quilting competitions right away.  She learns everything about quilting from the internet and made 50 quilts in her first 2 years of quilting.

In addition, Leona recently started a blog so you can view her original quilts and her quilt studio.  When Leona decided to take up quilting, she went faster than zero to 60.

Thanks Leona for sharing your award-quilt and your amazing talent.

And here’s to beautiful spring days to each of you (and a beautiful fall to those of you down under).
