This week went by so quickly and I have been obsessed with the new block that was release of the Secret Garden part 6 of Esther’s It is such a lovely lovely wee block I just love every thing about it, it has been a challenge but I have learnt so much from making it, one down and 3 more to go. I’ve had no time to do any thing else LOL
Finally a sunny morning to wake up too!!!!!!
Part 6 of The Secret Garden and how I made my block.
First I cut my Clam shell shapes and made up one 1/4 of the pattern to see if my colours were OK
stage 2 was adding more pieces. Yes I’m happy with it!!!!
I need to amke up 4 of these blocks for stage 6 of The Secret Garden pattern.
Needle basted all the clamshell pieces and one rose bud.
this is my clamshell pieces laid on the pattern for placement.
two rose buds its getting there basted ready for appliquéing down.
Deciding on my background fabric????
These wee 8 1/2″ blocks have to work with my 24 4 1/2″ tiny wee blocks??????\
I cut out the flower shape from my pattern and laid it on my background fabric and worked over that.
Close up of the petals appliquéd to the clam shell.
4 completed clamshells been appliquéd to the background fabric.
close up of rosbuds from the abck so you can see where I cut away the pink so I would not have so much bulk when I wrapped the green leaves at the bottom of the rosebud.
Back of rosebuds when needle basted.
Ready for appliquéing to the back ground.
So far so good???

All most completed
Completed little block!!!!!
In the garden this morning, as we have had rain for the last 7 months the flowers have suffered so are not showing up in all there usual glory.
We have had this tiny waterlilly for around 5 years now and it throws me a new flower every day it is a wee blessing in the garden.
My herb garden is thriving though!!!!
skimpy looking Poinciana’s Yellow one is doing better than my red!!!!
Indi’s cutting s are growing well to.
Lovely bougainvillaea.
I’m going to show several canopy photo’s of the rain-tree’s beside our house to give you a little idea of the trees around us. Most are as tall as a 6 story building!!!!!
