Roses are so fragile and come with a language of their own. Flowers represent so much and we all have memories attached to different ones. Our parents got married and on their honeymoon, all along the way next to the roads they travelled on, Cosmos flowers banked either side of the road. It was a kaleidoscope of maroon, pinks and whites, surrounded by green grass and blue skies. For every year Dad would go for a drive and pick a bunch of these wild flowers on their anniversary. One year he drove 80 kilometres away from home, until he found some. He did this for the 44 years they were married.
Prepped and cut the green hexies for the next section, also cut extra ones to get prepped at a later stage.
The bamboo baby blanket is finished.
These flowers will be applique on the red and white quilt.
The charm row for this week got started. Now that the baby blanket is finished some more stitching will be worked on.
what a nice tradition for your anniversary - very romantic.
