You’ve Got Art!

A couple of weeks ago I worked on sunflowers for a friend in the UK, and my cousin Edrynn in New Mexico. I mailed them on the same day, in the same size envelope and somehow, Pauline received hers first. Things that make you go Hmm.

These were a surprise, but I can share them with you now. Here is the sunflower now residing in New Mexico. I included the poppies after a conversation with Pauline where she mentioned that they were her sisters favorite flower. You can see Pauline’s sunflower here.

Happy Friday evening everyone! Enjoy the weekend!

Festive Fall Fabric

This does not scream party or holiday and maybe it does not really qualify as “festive”. But then again, maybe it does:

fes·tive
adjective \ˈfes-tiv\
: cheerful and exciting : suited to a celebration or holiday
: of or relating to Christmas

Full Definition of FESTIVE

1: of, relating to, or suitable for a feast or festival <a festiveoccasion>

2: joyful, gay <a festive mood>

I just know that festive is the first word that came to mind when I saw this final pattern. I love it on white, the colors really pop. Then again, you are not supposed to wear white in the fall, right? I wasn’t thinking of clothing, but I started thinking maybe it would be better to have a warmer background. What do you think?

I do have a couple of ideas for companion patterns. One with a border of the leaves piling up. Hopefully I can finish those soon. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!

Leaves fall – October Birthday Postcard

Fall, leaves, fall

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
