These pretty blossoms caught my eye whilst gathering supplies for the homestead this week....they just seemed to say SPRING!
At home my King Orchid has burst forth with 2 flowerspikes...one is out of sight....but this main one is a beauty!
They are so beautiful.....a myriad of teeny orchid flowers.
One little flower has also opened up on my phalaenopsis orchid (moth orchid)....with more set to open.
I am thrilled that this little beauty has survived and is even flowering.
My next two completed Nature's Journey blocks could be thought of as Spring themed too.
Not being a fan of repetitive machine sewing I decided to break up the nine patch blocks for the next border into little sessions....first set.
And I have started to tackle the appliqued squares on the brown border.
I got the heads up that the side ones need a bit of jiggling to fit so I am working slowly.
I also zipped through this lovely read.....
I have really enjoyed this Aussie author.
Well must away...its too nice to be inside and the birdbaths need a clean and refilling.
Take care all.
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx
Beautiful flowers Michelle. The applique squares transform that border - looking good. xx
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo nice to be able to get out and enjoy the lovely spring weather and watch the garden "open up" after winter. Slow and steady wins the race....good luck with the border
ReplyDeleteLovely post Michelle, your orchids are beautiful, nice to have a bunch of flowers 🌸 I hope the border cooperates with you. Lovely blocks.
ReplyDeleteSpring seems to have spring, for sure! Love your pertty flowers......your orchids are lovely. My MIL had an amazing collection of orchids, but they have never grown for me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I always love your orchids. Funnily, I made the leaf block in autumn colours. I probably stitched in that season.
ReplyDeleteLovely flower bouquet--makes you smile;)))
ReplyDeleteNow i love repetitive sewing--hahah--truly I do--must be from all those years of piano practicing (over and over and over!!) But, as usual, I digress....
Those little circle pieces are so adorable nice work...

Oh your orchids are just beautiful. Lovely to enjoy our spring. Your sewing is coming on so nicely.
ReplyDeleteLoved The French Photographer and am reading The Paris Secret at the moment. You'll enjoy it as well I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the orchids.
This weather is glorious isn't it... love it...
ReplyDeleteYour garden has come to life too Michelle...xox
I adore your Sew A Little Happiness Every Day piece...what a lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteThose orchids are so striking. Beautiful.
I love how you are bordering that project...appliqueing the squares; that is something I would do as machine stitching is kind of boring to me.
So your spring has begun it seems.
Oh isn't it just glorious seeing buds adn blossoms and listenign to bees and birds.... My king orchid is also flowering... so pretty and well done with your moth orchid (I wont try and be smarty pants and remember the fancy name)...
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on NJ...

ReplyDeleteSpring is always a delight. I like having a good book to read too, although I find I only get small sections read as I fall asleep! Happy creating to you.
ReplyDeleteYour Natures Journey is looking wonderful Michelle. Yes spring has sprung here too & its my favourite season - I love your flowers & think they would've had to come home with me too!!
