Nothing speaks to me of a winter garden scene more than citrus trees laden with fruit. We are lucky here in Northland because citrus do well and our winter fruit eating is full of oranges and mandarins.
So what better place to display today's hexie-flowers than in the Orange Tree.
The flowers were made to fill this gap (below)- hopefully tonight they will be sewn in--yeehaa--my garden is getting bigger!!
If you go to the One Flower Wednesday link you will get to see hexie-flowers in lots of different settings - it's always interesting to see what grows where around the world.
And while we are talking hexagons —
I have a sweet friend who knows I have a hexagon addiction problem. Look what she made me for my recent birthday :-)
That's it for Wednesday--thank you for visiting and Happy Sewing every-one.
