Here is the quilt I worked on yesterday...one of those die-cut flower quilts made with the Big Shot machine. This one is a cool and lovely combination of blue, yellow, and white. Very cool and serene looking!
I only finished one pass, as these take quite awhile to do. You have to stitch around each of the three circles that make up each floral applique. I am free-motion stitching leaves, flowers, vines and swirls in the background and borders.
This combination of colors is very pleasing (except that I am having trouble with the thread blending in those prints so well that I can't see where I 've stitched). I walked around the yard (before 9:00 AM) to see if I had any of those colors in the gardens.
The lavender growing by my garden pond is a good example.
I have at least three blue buddleigh or "butterfly bushes."
Here is a bee working on a white abelia blossom.
And on the other side of the porch steps, the sunflowers are starting to pop out.
Here is a strange place to find a praying mantis...on the ceiling of the front porch. Hope it eats all the mosquitoes!

We hit 100 degrees in Fredericksburg the other day- it is really far too hot!!!!!
your quilt is lovely and your stitching is a pure delight!! I love the Blue and yellow color combo- always have! Perhaps it is because it is the colors of the Swedish Flag- my heritage. Blue is a tough one for the garden but when you have it , it is wonderful!!!!! Stay cool!!!
I love the blue & yellow quilt that you are working on. Can you tell me where I might purchase the pattern? Thank you very much.
