Daylily Time Again

 Sorry I have been absent since June 5th.

Yes that long.

Life just got in the way.

The day lilies have started blooming again.

I am amazed that every year they return.

Bright and Beautiful.

 Rosalie Dace suggested last year that I concentrate

on making quilts of flowers close up.

Much more effective that a bunch of little flowers.

I think that is a great idea.

Yesterday Anita Krug and I went to the IMA in Indy

for the opening of the SAQA Dialouge show.

We both have quilts in the show.

I really enjoyed the panel discussion.

Kathy Loomis had some interesting points.

Over all it was an enjoyable day.

I saw some marvelous quilts and enjoyed

talking with other fiber artist.

Summer at the Studio

Summer and it glourious color.

The flowers give me a different show every day.

This Japaneese iris I grew from seed.

A lesson in patience.

I have been busy switching out 3 rooms

and deep cleaning.

Sometimes we have to get out of the studio

and take care of the housework.

Enough of that I am ready to get back to creating.

Every one of these photos would make  a good quilt.

Off to spend the morning in the studio.

Whats in bloom at Cedar Ridge.

My favorite day lily of them all.

                               Always something in my gardens to enjoy.
                               The best part of perennials is there is always
                                something that needs divided. I have shared
                                12 pick  up loads of plants in 10 years.
                                Like the fishes and the loaves.
                                The Anna Belle hydrangea needs dividing .
                                 September or next March is the best time.
