gardening in the snow

All the snow we had accumulated the last two weeks has melted, 
but there's a little more snow blowing in today,
so I'm stitching away...

working on My Sally Post Garden...

Very Spring-y looking, don't you think?,

what with the snow a-blowin' around outside:
The stitching is going pretty well.
Pictured above are my January applique blocks...
(I'm trying to meet my goal of three blocks a month)
and below,

I've laid them out on some gorgeous fabric

to audition

the setting, sashing and cornerstone fabrics,

along with my backing choice:

What do you think?

The floral cream on pink would be setting triangles, 

(French General - Rouenneries, the newest line),

the lighter pink would be sashing 

(a little check by Buggy Barn Basics),

the green would be cornerstones

(it's an Itsy Bits by Andover),

 and the larger, floral on cream for the backing

(also from the Rouenneries line).

 

I'm doing the floral applique using some of

the Rouenneries fabric line,

and when I saw the large florals?  

I fell in LOVE!!!...

Happy Valentine's week all over again!,

with pink and cream floral fabric! 

 

This whole P-I-N-K , Spring-y look 

is NOT my usual colorway, but I'm liking it :).

 

 Because the pink, Spring-y thing

is not my usual,

I'd appreciate

any thoughts on my fabric choices...

 

Hope your weekend is wonderful,

and you get to do a little stitching too!



I'm going back to gardening in the snow:)
