One Flower Wednesday

I’m trying to get back in the swing of things following vacation.  The lighter pink fabric in my flowers is from a fat quarter that I purchased last week while shopping with Di.

If you’d like to see more flowers, visit our hostess Karen, who keeps us motivated to keep our garden growing.

On Sunday, I had great intentions of getting some sewing done, but that didn’t happen.  I spent most of my afternoon looking through books for inspiration, and sorting through my scraps.

This is the pile I pulled out, and tonight I had fun ironing everything!  Hopefully I’ll start cutting tomorrow night.

I also started working on a secret project tonight.  It’s a small project, so I should have results in the near future.

We have several rainy day in the forecast, so I hope to spend some quality time in the sewing room.  And….I might be meeting a fellow blogger this weekend!

Be kind to a fellow blogger……Sunny

  13. How easy it is to lose a day while sorting through scraps,fabrics, books and so on! Fun, even if you didn't get near your machine! Two more sweet flowers to add to your collection - I wonder how many you have now?
