I liked this approach because i've been trying to stretch my "improv" wings and it worked so well in that genre.

I have a good friend who lived in Belgium as a young girl and she and her family visited those very fields. Her mom was telling me all about them and she said they were stunning. Also - they are growing tulips for the bulbs....so you could buy (way back when...) dozens of cut tulips for a few dollars.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15922064809674651080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404475663412245757.post-57885644139866327162016-03-21T18:16:34.988-07:002016-03-21T18:16:34.988-07:00I don't - I made that one last year when I was...I don't - I made that one last year when I was still working (and incapable of maintaining a blog and everything else...something had to give...) but I'll post something this week about it.

When we lived in TN there was a Dogwood Trail that took you through neighborhoods with lovely Dogwood trees blooming. We loved driving the trail every spring! And one last favorite - Chimney's Picnic Area trail in the Smokies. Love all the wildflowers blooming there in spring. The undergrowth of the forest is covered in Spring Beauties, Dutchman's Breeches, to name just a few flowers. <br />Sharon - INhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921429404805177010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404475663412245757.post-37304102509661344232016-03-15T22:48:07.064-07:002016-03-15T22:48:07.064-07:00Thank you Amy!Thank you Amy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15922064809674651080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-404475663412245757.post-28262059817911103182016-03-15T22:47:51.297-07:002016-03-15T22:47:51.297-07:00Thanks Christine.

They were all in perfect bloom. The pale pink color was everywhere. I loved it. Iris's are beautiful, too.

Wow!! I haven't been to any of the festivals or events of that type. I always wanted to see the Iris gardens when they bloomed when I lived in CA, but never made it there in time. The closest I'd get was when I'd travel from the bay area to the central valley to visit family and I'd pass through Gilroy and Hollister areas. When spring would come I'd get to see the flower fields and they were just gorgeous. I can't imagine the beauty from much bigger gardens, but I'm sure it would be stunning. <br /><br />Well done on your quilt art piece. I love it!Christine Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914772868998376761noreply@blogger.com
