Playing with patchwork on a rainy day (experimental)

Been playing around experimenting - If it hadn't been raining so hard I would have gone and cut some foliage and make contrasting blocks which would be nice.

The sun has come out now - so off outside.


Close up of my berries - they look good enough to eat!


St Johns Wort berries from the garden


Four block sets.


Pink Lysianthus


Eryngium heads from my garden


Blocks put together - reminds me of Scotland and tartan for some reason


Got the blues?


Cream Lysiantus heads in a symmetrical arrangement for patchwork experiments


A block of three - different textures


Golden Showers Roses




Modern arrangements in a row

  5. Sandie - nice to hear from you - was a bit concerned as you had shingles.

    Thanks for the compliments regarding the photos. The multiple image thingy was a mistake! And I was tearing my hair out cos I wanted just one photo. But now I have found out what had happened and how to correct it, I shall certainly have a 'play' with it.

    Unfortunately I never did get to photo my patchwork type flower arrangements from the workshop - but I have lots of designs whizzing around in my head for Christmas.


    Becki - no I don't stop often - and as for clever - I don't think so. You are with all the cards and books and things that you make and sell - now that is clever.

    Karen - St Johns Wort is a shrubby plant - they come in small right through to huge!

    Lovely yellow flowers which the bees love, but I grow them for the berries which are particularly beautiful this year. Not to eat, oh no, but to use in flower arranging. The berries will turn black and they last such a long time.

    Patsy - more chicks - off to look at the photos
