In all this snow I’m thinking of flowers. It’s just that time of year. If I can’t have flowers outside I’m going to make them inside.

I had this piece of fabric dyed as a Cenote, a well of color. On its side it reminded me of the center of a coneflower.

So I made coneflowers. Not just pink. Pink, magenta, and burgundy. I used lightweight felt and stitch and tear as a stabilizer.

I found a burnout fabric with gold dots, perfect for the center.

The threads define the final colors. Greens and oranges too. Nothing is pure pink.

The hummingbirds were delighted to be invited to lunch. It may be snowing outside, but my inside garden is beautiful.
