I write this post with tears streamy down my face, it still hurts 6 years later. My Dad is with the Lord but the separation is only tolerable with the knowledge that God promises we will be reunited. My Dad's love of flowers and photography has had such an impact on my life {two of my most favorite things}, of course you wouldn't have been able to tell me that when I was a teenager. My parents owned a greenhouse business for 45 years. There are a just few pictures of flowers in those albums and collection of slides.

Floral Cards
I really like this BIG, I mean really BIG floral stamp. Two of the images are water colored, cut out, glittered edges and embellished with beaded stick pin and the other is colored on velum with marker and added edged chunky glitter. (stampin up hostess stamp). The only small problem is the stick pin doesn't go thru regular mail, need a padded larger envelope.

Fruit of summer
We picked strawberries, and had some dacquaries, and homemade pizza with lots of toppings. Sunday is are day to cook together!
Quilt Swirls
This beautiful blue/brown quilt was made by one of my very special clients. Her work is exceptional and she has a great eye for color. This quilting design is swirls, a simple design as not to take away from the quilt top design and done in a taupe thread to blend.
