February Fabrics (Quilts)

Here are two of the quilts i have been working on during the last month. They are both just the quilt tops (not finished and quilted yet.) The first one is called
Sweet Emma Rose and uses fabrics from the Moda design
collection.

This baby/toddler "play" quilt uses the
Yellow Brick Road pattern and bright primary colors.

February blooms

It may be snowing outside but we are cozy inside enjoying winter blooms. The hyacinths have incredible fragrance, even Sam can't get close enough.




The Phalaenopsis (orchid) has been blooming since October. The trick will be to get it to rebloom later this year. The Clivia (large strappy leaves with emerging bloom) is a "first" time bloom for me; I purchased the plant 5 years ago!!! I think the flower will be a pastel peach color.

I can't believe how happy these dragon wing begonias are living in the basement under artificial lights. I plan to take cuttings for summer plants later this month. If it works,....... begonias for everybody!!
