The yellow flowers are Partridge Pea and the red-violet ones are Purple Poppy Mallow.
The white ones are a stalk of New Jersey Tea flowers while the others are Pale Purple Coneflowers.
And these flowers are Tall Coreopsis.At this point I can only show bits of the flower pieces I'm creating. Someday the whole pieces will be posted along with why they're being made.
You truly have a genius for taking a sow's ear (scraps) and turning them into silk purses. Images like these are what I am hungry for, I am so ready for spring and some color!

The basically realistic flowers and the soft impressionistic background the ort work gives make a beautiful combination.
ReplyDeleteThe piece is looking good-can't wait to see the whole thing!
ReplyDeletei love the way you have let the dimension and shape of these stay natural, rather than flattening them down with stitching--marvellous realism.
ReplyDeleteYour work is absolutely beautiful!

Molto belli!...colorati!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so lovely and a welcome for us in the north who don't see anything but brown.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea for hanging the quilts. I've been using the flat wooden strips for a while but have been sliding them into a sleeve. Silly me! the corners are soo much faster and easier.
you are a genius, Nellie!!
Nellie with this amazing quilt in your house there is a wonderful spring.
