The snow keeps getting deeper, so I need to have a hit of springtime.
My Amaryllis bloomed this morning.
I love the way the sun was shining through the petals of the top bloom. The bulb has two stalks, so I should get a good show.
An arty shot. I see the cat toy in the background is the same colour!
Last week, Karen Neary introduced a new pattern on her blog, called
Polly's Posies . Allow me to brag that I named the pattern, and I even got a credit! Since the pattern is so spring, I went into my stash today, to see if I had anything that would work for the pattern.
I think these two will work. The floral print might even be called
"Radiant Orchid". Now, I just need a solid(ish) purple and a couple of prints with a white background. I am pretty sure I have the solid, but I may have to make a run to the quilt shop to find the whites.
