One Flower Wednesday......
First of all I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who gave me advice on how to do my flowers. I am still not completely settled on how I will do it but I have some ideas. I have had so much fun this past week sewing these flowers and I have to say, I am not sure I can only sew them on Wednesdays. :) I have done 9 so far and just want to keep going. I do know I will use yellow for the centers and it will be scrappy so I will use different shades of yellow. I still am unsure if I will make them one row larger or just leave them as is. I have been playing around with the idea of using green around them rather than white. Inspired by Valentina's photo with the flowers on the bushes. :) I just love how the flowers pop out on the green. I am glad to see so many people joining in on this fun. Thanks Karen for starting One Flower Wednesday! I have wanted to make a GFG and this was the boost I needed to get started! I look forward to seeing all the gardens grow.......
