Our Bradford Pear tree is in bloom. Pee-ew! (It looks beautiful, but does not smell good.) The Eastern Red Bud is covered in purpley-pink blooms and the Lilac buds are about ready to burst! I LOVE this time of year!
Four more blocks completed for the embroidery challenge , and only four more to go. What am I going to do when this project is finished? I need a new craft project to work on!! Something portable, that I can take with me to craft club. Quilting doesn't travel.

Green vaseline depression glass plate
(Anybody besides me collect this?)
Jacaranda tree
Garden of Daisies, and what a pretty name for a blog. Thanks for stopping by, and leaving such a lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteI used to embroider, sigh...but never seem to have the time for it lately. Well, and I need to get progressive lenses, so I guess that could be a problem also.
Anyways, I will stop by again one day to say hi.

Those blocks are really pretty...I collect vaseline glass, too...well not so much anymore but have a cabinet full!
ReplyDeleteI just adore your squares. I collect green depression glass - I know, not quite the same as the vaseline color. It's hard to find.
ReplyDeleteThat is coming along so nicely, and yes that is a craft you can tag along with you anywhere. I collect green jadeite. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI really love your new blocks...all just beautiful. I, too, am wondering what I will do when this little project is finished...it has been such fun, and I have loved checking out everyone's work, and being inspired by all the new blogs (like yours) that I have found.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, and thanks so much for visiting me :)
I just took a picture of some of my Jadeite collection I will have to share it soon. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteOur frogs are singing here, also, Gayle! Love it because when we hear them we know spring is here!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt blocks are beautiful. I don't collect the green depression glassware, even though I think it is beautiful. I have my grandmother's pink though!
Looking forward to seeing your quilt when it is all finished.
You blocks are so cute and dainty. Thanks for your post on my Red Riding Hood picture and memory of your little girl at Halloween. :)

I love seeing your embroidery blocks. I usually complain that spring is cold and wet and a lot like winter, but with more mud. But it's been so gorgeous and HOT! Can't complain about that.
ReplyDeleteYour handwork is lovely! It has been fun to watch you create all these squares. Thank you for sharing your work and visitng my blog.
ReplyDeleteAren't you surprised at the smell of those Bradford Pear...It is awful...Your squares are so cute....I love to do hands on stuff too. Do you knit? My aunt is teaching me and it's a take along thing!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your embroidery! We keep having those storms rumble through too. And we're at about the same point as you with the blooms. Hope to post a bloomin' post tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of your week :) -Tammy
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Bradford pear trees were stinky when in bloom! They're so lovely that I've always wished I had room in my yard for one. Now that I know they reek, I don't feel so bad!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are just lovely!
Your blocks are coming along a treat, Can't wait to see the finished project.
ReplyDeleteDarling embroidery blocks. I love them all and yes, I love Depression Glass in all the colors it came in. That quilt block embroidery is so clever. You could start another embroidery project - maybe embroider blocks to incorporate into a quilt?
ReplyDeleteThe Jacaranda tree is really good. I'm doing the 39 blocks, too. About thru. Happy REDnesday~
Your squares are very pretty! I didn't know that bit of information about frogs. How interesting.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Such pretty squares - I especially love the Jacaranda tree - those beauties are a wonderful memory from my days living on the west coast.

I love this time of year too! It's too bad it is so fragile. One freeze too many, too much rain or too much wind and it is all gone. Each day is a gift! Beautiful embroidery work :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOur Bradford pear is in full bloom but we also have an apple blossom blooming so it masks the smell! Our red buds are in full bloom. No lilacs here but they are my favorite flower and scent!
I've been looking back at all of your sampler squares. I LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers, and initials are all so pretty, and the house in the tornado is very clever.
Your sampler is beautiful!!
Saw this on one of your links..this is beautiful! Do you still do some embroidery? I love to learn new stitches.
ReplyDeleteDropped in to see the tea cozy and saw this interesting post at the bottom of the page. Could you show some of your vaseline glass?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what it looks like.
