A Stroll in the Garden

“There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
– Anais Nin

 

“What a desolate place would be a world without a flower! It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome. Are not flowers the stars of the earth, and are not our starts the flowers of the heaven.”
– A.J. Balfour

“If seeds in the black earth can turn into such beautiful roses, what might not the heart of man become in its
long journey toward the stars?”
– G.K. Chesterton

A Stroll in the Garden

“Be different. Be original. Nobody will remember a specific flower in a garden filled with thousands of the same yellow flower, but they will remember the one that managed to change its color to purple.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

 

“You can be a flower in somebody’s garden or a pig or the sunshine or a crow or a nightingale! Be something nice in someone else’s garden.”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

Disappearing Nine Patch Update

I joined Julie Cefalu’s Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt Along, and have really enjoyed the process.

I have completed turning my 20 nine patch blocks into disappearing nine patch blocks. Fun!

I have also sewn all of these blocks into a flimsy!  It was windy, but I did manage to get a couple of photos.
