When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. ~Chinese Proverb
What joy flowers bring to us. Even a Chinese proverb states the importance of a flower. Flowers make us smile. I have some gardenias blooming and their scent fills the air which makes me smile. I enjoy how each flower is so different. Flowers! Enjoy Them!

Clover and Violet block I just finished.
I found this little embroidery technique book at a book sale a couple weeks ago. I thought I would try one of the stitches.
You can see I used the rope stitch on the leaves of the tulips. It gives the leaves a little bit more dimension.
Another day of the book-a-round at
Maria's Quilt Scraps. She made one of my favorite patterns from the book. I hope you are taking the time to go see the blogs that are featuring pages and projects from this book. Tomorrow come back here to see my post about the book. I will also be having a giveaway. Until tomorrow...
With Passion,

I love coneflowers. I transplanted several from a friends garden last fall. They are very slow coming this spring/ summer. Your needle work in the Clover and Violet block is beautiful.
I looked briefly at the post from the book. I need to go back and look more closely.
Have a wonderful day in His love,
