I have just spent a few days away from home and found an obsession with orchids. They used to be expensive and I used to kill them. Now they are relatively cheap compared to other flowers, they last a long time and I have discovered how to get them to come back year after year. My house now looks like a greenhouse. It’s a good job I don’t get out much or I would have to obtain for myself an exclusion order taking effect within 500 metres of a plant shop.
When I was thinking of a subject for a blog it struck me that orchids make a good subject for quilts. In fact there are quite a few to choose from. I did a quick search online and came up with some rather charming examples.
The first two are from Quilting Life
This one is from from The Virginia Quilter.
This one is from Sylvia Pippen Designs
As is this one.
Also this.
The next two are pieced and from equilt patterns
I found some machine embroidered ones on Emblibrary too. There are lots of them but here are a couple.
A short blog but a pretty one.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as I have made something to show you. On normal form that should not be too long.
