I worked on my Nature's Journey applique blocks and embroidered the blanket stitch on to them.
October in my corner of the world means there are usually patches of purple everywhere. Jacaranda trees are in flower.
Mine is about 47 years old and very bendy and unruly .....I love seeing it from my sewing room window.
Such a gorgeous colour!
Eldest granddaughter has been watching for 2 of the Hippeastrums to unfurl their flowers too this week.....finally!
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx
loving your little hearts and your nature's journey blocks are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jacaranda flowers. I think they were in flower when we visited Brisbane and they were stunning!
Love hippeastrums.... such a big name for such a big out there flower lol
Gotta love Jacarandas - and the others...but Jacarandas are nearly at the top of my list.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket stitch is progressing . . .
Jacaranda flowers are just stunning. Good progress with your pretty hearts and Nature's journey blocks.
ReplyDeleteOnce again beautiful work. Your jacaranda looks gorgeous. My Hippies are out too so magnificent. I saw on your sewing room a little Shadow box for your tin collection. Hope you don't mind me copying your idea...have so many little tins. I'm sure Rob could do that for me...now to find a spare space on my sewing room wall..hehe
ReplyDeletelovely blocks... both NJ and the hearts... I do love the Jacaranda's too... we are always a bit behind you and the trees are just starting... our one at the back looks like it has quite a lot of flowers which will be a first.. it has been miserable since we moved here....

Beautiful blocks Michelle, the flowers are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks AND flowers are gorgeous...xox
ReplyDeleteLoving your applique projects and your gorgeous flowers. Nothing better than a vase of flowers to make us smile.
ReplyDeleteAll your stitching is progressing well. Love seeing your jacaranda. I miss the one we had at our previous home and finally bit the bullet and bought one for here. I will toughen it up in a pot for a year and then plant it out. So I still need to be patient.
ReplyDeleteI love your applique blocks. Are you hand sewing them? The flowers are beautiful too.
ReplyDeletehi Michelle wow I love all your beautiful work. You are always so productive,well done. Oh I love the pretty purple flowers on the jacaranda trees and your flowers are so pretty,Thankyou for sharing them with us ,Naste and blessings my friend xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a productive FNSI Michelle. I'm looking forward to seeing your Nature's Journey quilt. WE have a very straggly Jacaranda - I look forward to the day when it is big and proud like your one!
