Winter Finally Arrived, but Flowers are Blooming Inside!

We finally got a real snowstorm yesterday, but it’s so uplifting to be stitching bright, colorful tulips in bloom! These sets are part of a large block I’m working on:

and they all kind of “spring forth” from the center flower area:

(Sorry; I cannot seem to capture the background fabric color at all.) Do you see all those crosshairs that are near all 4 tulip sets? I can’t remove them yet because they will ensure the correct placement of the feather pairs that will line all 4 sides of the block. Here’s what it looks like at this point:

Working with these sure makes negotiating all this snow more bearable! Happy wintering…(not!)

    Are these flowers all embroidered after having been digitized??
    What stabilizer do you put underneath?

    suprise!! You are one of my favorites. Thank
    Your for your free motion tutorials, they seem
    so hard for me. I am blind in my left eye and
    deaf in one ear. I love to sew things for my
    daughters and grandchildren. So I try so hard
    to keep going because I love quilting so much and sewing. Thanks you!! 1/23/2012
