Today is One Flower Wednesday over at Journey of a Quilter blog. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I thought One Flower Wednesday was something that just sounded good when you said it. One night I was reading blogs, and I happened onto this blog where you can go and sign in if you have made hexagon flowers.
Here are the three flowers that I made today. I really prefer to take photos outside just because they always look brighter and better overall than the ones I take inside. We've had snow on the ground here for what seems like forever, so I put on my winter coat and waded out back and took my photos on the deck. This is the second photo that I took.
Below is the first photo that I took. I just tossed the hexagons down onto the snow and took the photo. After I got back inside and warmed up, I downloaded the photos to my computer. They looked like they were taken on a white table except for the little bit of snow you can see on the orange flower. So...... I put the winter coat back on and went outside to take more photos.
Your flowers look excellent in the snow, so nice and bright! And, that is a very sweet pillow.
ReplyDeleteLove the hexies in the snow. I would like to do them later when we a trip round Aussie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog you have, hope you don't mind me linking to you ?
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to make sure I find my way back ..........very inspirational.
Thank You for sharing
Love your bright and pretty flowers on the snow :)
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe the stark contrast we have in weather conditions!
We are experiencing a heat wave here....it has been the equivalent of between 105 and 110 farenheit.
And then......look at all your beautiful snow!!
I have never worked with hexegons, but these look lovely. Also, I have something for you over at my blog.
ReplyDeleteLuAnn, your flower in the snow is so pretty...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day and your sewing!!!
You hexies are looking nice. I had not thought of alternating the petals but it really adds some charm to the block.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers in the snow. They add a ray of sunshine to the chill of the winter.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to know the next generation is quilting, too?
ReplyDeleteLove the hexagon flowers. They are so fun to make.
What a neat setting for your lovely hexie-flowers!! How fun to have a family member to help to learn to quilt - she's done a great job on the pillow too. Have a nice day,Raewyn
ReplyDeleteGreat flowers and they look so special in the snow! Love them and the cushion is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHola Luann,te eplico como hacer los exagonos se corta un exagono,otro de boata igual y un tercero dos centimetros mayor.Ponemos el exagono mayor con el derecho hacia abajo encima bien centrado la boata y el otro exagono con el derecho hacia arriba,doblamos un centimetro y despues el otro asi todo alrededor como si hiciesemos un dobladillo y cosemos todos los lados a punto escondido, que nos quedaria con el ribete y acolchado. espero que me hayas comprendido,un abrazo desde España.
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers - and I'm going to have to try photos in the snow - those turned out great! Love that adorable pillow!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so bright and beautiful. Just what we need to escape the white stuff all around.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me.
Wonderful flowers!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the pillow is adorable ;-)
