This is why I have posted almost no work since the beginning of the year, and why I will also have to keep what I'm sewing on under wraps for the rest of this year too. I hate that part, not being able to share what's happening! But the book is not what you might be expecting, and therefore risky...and that really adds to the fun for me. So it will be a surprise.
But when I am not working on it, I am gardening. The two passions feed off each other, as most quilters will tell you.
So here is a brief garden tour...we are 4 weeks ahead of most springs because of the mild and dry season. It's been heavenly.....
Lots of color and sunshine to come....
And thanks for being patient... ;-)
Always a delight to tiptoe through your tulips Allie! Happy Mother's Day! xoxo

4 weeks ahead! We are about 2 weeks behind this year.
ReplyDeleteBut, that is great news about another book! Have fun with it. :D
Beautiful! Thanks for posting, and congrats on the new book proposal's acceptance. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the newest book! Hasn't the weather been wonderful lately? Our flowers are ahead of schedule here, too.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your newest book! And your flowers are lovely. Hope you had a Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteYeah on your new book, can't wait to see it.

Lovely, just lovely... can't wait to see what you are keeping under wraps. The gardens here Ithaca way are just starting to look like spring is really here.
ReplyDeleteI am not a crazy quilter - yet. My needlework takes me from one end of the spectrum to the other, so I will get there. At present, I am a gardener. With a season as short as mine, I must devote every minute to it while I can. I wanted to comment on your purple and lavender - phlox? - and lilacs? - behind the yellow rose with a yellow house in the background. Beautiful composition. Just truly beautiful. It made my day. If those are phlox, I am jealous! Mine bloom late summer.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting from Susan of Plays With Needles. Your garden is spectacular. Creative Bliss...
ReplyDeleteAnnie, those are Dame's Rocket, the very first thing to bloom. They are self sowing too. I'm sure you could grow them!
ReplyDeleteYour flower gardens are lovely!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having your book proposal accepted. You must be thrilled!
Hi Allie
ReplyDeleteYou have made a little touch of heaven in your garden. I shouldn't leave Robert out- I am sure he does his share.
Congrats on the new book.
Leaving tomorrow for Ireland with Sue for 1 week. Hugs FredaB
Wonderful news about the book AND the garden tour! Your flowers are just lovely!
