My special Echium from Lambley Nursery has flowered for the first time
. . . and in the middle of winter
What a beauty!
and some secret sewing for a special little girl's birthday
taken from this pattern which I LOVE in the colours in the magazine, but used pinks instead
All ready for quilting

So gorgeous. Just popped over from ric-rac to say Happy Birthday.

That Echium is so beautiful .... one of those plants that you really have to study close up to see how wonderful all the colours are and how the flower heads are 'constructed'.
We had them on the farm in Gippsland when I was a child, and I hated them then.....very overgrown and neglected and the hens used to make dust baths underneath. Since seeing them in recent years at Diggers, I've changed my mind completely.
Do you visit St Erth?
I love your pink quilt, its so pretty. And your flower too. Isn't pink a happy colour? xo
Oh Wow...everything is beautiful! The flowers, the fabric, the quilts. Awesome!
What an amazing flower and a very pretty quilt.
