And one of my favorites... looking up at the sun through the lacy foliage of a Japanese Maple. I'm going to have one of these someday.
So that was last Saturday. This Saturday I'm back to my Wedding Sampler after a (way too long) break. I'm tackling a band of modified Rice stitches. Three down, a zillion more to go.
I have moral support at the ready.
Happy Saturday, and Happy Stitching!
What beautiful pictures you shared from the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, Honeybee. I like that last shot with the Japanese Maple. Is that modified rice stitch your own creation? I have never seen one like that before. Hope you will do a how to for us! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteRobin, it's Just Nan's, on the back of the Snowfire Christmas leaflet. I tried to find a diagram to share but couldn't locate one. I'll see what I can do.
DeleteBeautiful flowers! Lots of specialty stitches, scary but worth it in the end. My cats are doing the exact same thing as Tiger Lily, snoozing!
ReplyDeleteAzaleas! *sigh* How I love them! I have three large bushes here in the cold tundra of northeastern PA and they only bloom when the winters are somewhat mild. I should get rid of them but I live for the springs when they are breathtakingly beautiful! We also have two rhododendrons, one of which always blooms or is near blooming too soon and a frost gets it every time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get away. Even though the weather was chilly, it's always refreshing to have a change of scenery!
Beautiful Azaleas & I do love you moral supporter.

Just wondered do you also Quilt ? I found a quilt with foxes in the design.

Kay, I don't quilt but my mom does! I've sent her a couple of fox quilt patterns for the to-do pile! ;O)
DeleteWhat a beautiful walk to go on!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, pretty post. Including your pretty stitching.
