he who plants flowers.....

Another lay down the random squares of fabric
bond it to the batting
add stamped words, images and applique,
sew it all down with tulle
and add more embelishments
mini quilt!!
(There has got to be a shorter name for these...I gotta think about that)I made my first ever YO-YO for the flower
I was going to give that job to Karen....
she has made them....
but decided to try it on my own, besides, she was working.

It is probably the frilliest, girlie type quilt I have ever made.

and I am giving it to my 70-something father-in-law
no....
wait.....
he is 80-something now.
anyway....
He plants SO MANY flowers in their yard every year, I thought this was most fitting for him. A little brightness for their entry way while we wait for the snow to melt and the ground to thaw. It is March, it can't be long now.

You are making so many nice things with your letter stamps (stencils?). I've never thought I'd want to try letters but I'm inspired!
