A Stroll in the Garden

Always have something beautiful in sight, even if it’s just a daisy in a jelly glass. – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

If I had my life to live over, I’d pick more daisies. – Don Herold

In nature everything is valuable, everything has its place. The rose, the daisy, the lark, the squirrel, each is different but beautiful. Each has its own expression. Each flower its’ own fragrance. Each bird its’ own song. So you too have your own unique melody. – Diane Dreher

A Stroll in the Garden

One rose is enough for the dawn. -Edmond Jabes

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. -Ziggy

The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is. -Paulo Coelho

I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness. Because just like a rose is beautiful, so is a sunflower, so is a peony. I mean, all flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too. -Miranda Kerr

Sew Let’s Quilt Along Segment 2 Wrap Up

Posted on July 6, 2019 | 7 comments

Block 9 of Segment 2 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along QAL is finished.

This fun block includes appliqued lettering. I am going to show the back so that you can see that the letters are machine stitched…it is difficult to see from the front.

I changed the lettering from the original design. The cute block design is called “In Stitches” designed by Kathleen McCormick.

To wrap up Segment 2, participants are asked to show a photo of our four blocks together.

To join in the fun, visit Partners in Design.
