Lots More Blobs...I Mean to Say Blossoms!


Look at all  the blobs...I mean to say blossoms around the border! 
I stitched up all twenty-three yesterday, and I must say they really add weight to the piece.  Not all that much left to do - the year, my initials, finish the birds, and a seven row bottom border. 
Then the Birds of a Feather "Sampler Alphabet" will be finished!


This winter I found the perfect place for pansies!

The plant stand is tucked in the back of a small, covered, west-facing nook.

I've remembered to water the pansies regularly...

and they have rewarded me...

with non-stop blooms and...

cheerful faces!

  2. The sampler is looking great. Love all those gorgeous pansies - mother nature sure paints with some pretty colors, doesn't she?
