Kate has sown candy-tuft, lupins and peas,
Carnations, forget-me-not and heart’s-ease;
Jack has sown cherry-pie, marigold,
Love-that-lies-bleeding and snap-dragons bold;
But who knows
What the wind sows?
-T Sturge Moore “Winds Work”
Why am I “Candytuft”?
That I don’t know!
Maybe the fairies
First called me so;
Maybe the children,
Just for a joke;
(I’m in the gardens
Of most little folk).
Look at my clusters!
See how they grow:
Some pink or purple,
Some white as snow;
Petals uneven,
Big ones and small;
Not very tufty
No candy at all!
-Cicely Mary Barker
The candytuft in my garden is showing off, and I love it! Spring is such a glorious season of freshness and renewal!
And baseball, too.
So I continue to work on my Slow Sunday Stitching embroidery while watching baseball.
I finished Block 11 of the Aunt Bea’s Parlor project.
And Block 12.
Next comes Block 13.
Here is a slide show of 12 finished blocks.
I am linking up with the other slow stitchers at Kathy’s Quilts.
