Happy December!! I had to sit out last month since the block chosen was the one I substituted my extra pineapple block for in this qal but I can't wait to show you the next block :) I am sewing along with the Shenandoah Valley Botanical Quilt project - the pattern is provided by the Virginia Quilt Museum and all pattern sales benefit the museum. Dawn, from Collector with a Needle, and Doreen, from Aunt Reen’s Place, are hosting a quiltalong for this quilt, here.
This is my version of the block chosen for December, Peony:
I hope I did this block justice as it is a favorite in my garden and I love to see these blooms show up in early summer!!
This is from a plant my Grandma gave me from her flowerbed.
The following are two of my newer plants.
Fun to show these pictures from summer as it is supposed to snow today :)
Your wool Peony block turned out gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome to have a Peony plant from your Grandmother.
All 3 of your Peony bushes have stunning blooms to them.
I hope your snowfall is light and fluffy and just enough to dust the ground.
You are right - it is especially nice to see summer blooms at the start of winter days. We have softly falling snow, but so far it is not staying - which is fine by me :)! Beautiful Peony block - love those buds, just ready to burst open at any moment!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - both the block and the flowers!
ReplyDeletePretty block. Love your peony pictures.
ReplyDeleteThese flowers are gorgeous...wow! Sweet block, too!
ReplyDeleteYour peonies are beautiful, the garden and the stitched versions. How wonderful it is to have a plant from your Grandma’s garden. So special!
