Anemone 1

Anemone 2 

Anemone 3 

Anemone 4 

Some pink anemones I picked on the weekend are nearly ready for the compost heap, but first I captured them with my camera and then my needle and thread. The linen version was made up into a make-up case. Or a case for anything really- I have one that I keep my art supplies in. It's part of my shop update today.

Those anemones really are quite gorgeous, aren't they? I'll be sad when I stop seeing them on my walks around town.

    I was thinking that very thing about the magnolia tree twins blooming outside the local United Church – a gorgeous old stone building with these two huge trees tucked up near the side door. I saw somebody having her picture taken in front of them today! It will be sad when the blooms are gone for another year, but I also love the dappled shade they make all summer so that’s my consolation.

    They really are beautiful flowers (and beautifully embroidered), and I really like them pink. I’ll see if I can find some bulbs for my garden.

    As always you embroidery is amazing and inspiring. Anemones are one of my favourite flowers and it is lovely to see them still so beautiful even when wilting.
